Which client did you install? Also, is there any particular reason you're using a really old distro instead of something newer?

You bought Red Hat 8.0?? :/

Back to your problem, I'll ask again: which BitTorrent client did you install?

Try to run "bittorrent". Edit: run it in a terminal window, without the quotes. What happens? You don't need to be a geek :/.

Yes,exactly. You may need to run it followed by the torrent filename.

Try "updatedb && locate bittorrent" as root, just to see if those files are there.

What? The executable may not be in your $PATH. You may also want to consider a newer distro.
