I now have the Fedora bittorrent-3.3-0.fdr.2.fc1.noarch.rpm installed. When I visit a bittorrent url, shouldn't it begin downloading automatically, or must I first call up bittorrent? If so, what is bittorrent's command?

When I try to download the following file from http://bt.etree.org/details.php?id=5505, I'm treated to this error;
/tmp/BFFT2004-06-16.torrent could not be opened, because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the association in your preferences.

My options in Firefox on my Fedora Core 1 box are set as;
application/x-bittorrent using these extensions; bittorent, .iso, .ccd, .mds, .bwt, .cdi, .nrg, .rar, .r00, .r01, .rnn, cbr, .cbz, .par, .p01, .pnn, .nfo, .sfv, .cue

and ; open using the default application.

All of the other extensions may be superfluous, but even with only bittorrent as an extension, it still won't work.

you'll need to add the line:
application/x-bittorrent; /usr/bin/btdownloadgui.py %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"
to your /etc/mailcap file.

could be wrong, but your extension should .torrent and the 'open with' should point to the btdownloadgui.py file.

Thanks much, but Azureus seems to be doing the trick, and it's trick looking too.

Starting Azureus...
Java exec not found in PATH, starting auto-search...
ls: /usr/java: No such file or directory
OOPS, unable to locate java exec in  /usr/java/  hierarchy

It's self-explanatory - you don't have Java installed.

install the latest version of java for linux from their site and see if that works. If not then you may need to symlink the file to the application.
Check all your readme's and install dox provided with your application.
