Hi, iam still a newb to linux and i just started going away from the devils os, but one of my main stuff i do is whit bittorrent, so i downloaded it from the official site and installed it whit this command under root;
[root@localhost Downloads]# rpm -Uvh BitTorrent-4.0.1-1.noarch.rpm
and it gave me this
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:BitTorrent ########################################### [100%]
ok i think this is normal but just making sure.
so i went to mininova.org and went to get system of a down and it downloaded it to my computer under a .torrent ... usely under windows i would just use ABC bittorrent and it made my install like under kazaa...so i tried double cliking on it and it said ; Couldn't display "/home/calvin/Downloads/Syste...Toxicity(Darkside_RG).torrent".

so now iam lost and i have no idea how to start my downloads, could someone help me?

It sounds from your post that you want to use the bittorrent GUI front-end. I don't know what file manager you use, but you need to set the file association for *.torrent so that when you double-click on a *.torrent file, you execute the command: btdownloadgui --max-upload 12

(It's a good idea to limit your upload rate so that you don't choke your bandwidth pipe).

I personally stay away from the bittorrent gui programs like Azureus, and stick to the commandline versions. If you are feeling adventurous, open a terminal program (like xterm or konsole, etc) and at the prompt, do:

prompt$ cd /path/to/your/torrents
prompt$ btdownloadcurses --max_upload_rate 12 filename.torrent

If you want to launch many torrents at once, then do:

prompt$ btlaunchmanycurses *.torrent --max_upload_rate 12

(on your system, btdownloadcurses may be btdownloadcurses.py, and btlaunchmanycurses may be btlaunchmanycurses.py)

cool i thank you alot, it works
