problem in installing bit torrent

lemon09 · 03-09-2010, 07:16 PM

I have recently downloaded the source code for bit torrent client from their website.

According to the instruction given I tried to install to it...but there was a problem, which reads like this->

Code:

# python setup.py install
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 23, in <module>
    from BitTorrent.platform import install_translation
  File "/home/lemon/Applications/BitTorrent-5.3-GPL/python_bt_codebase/BitTorrent/__init__.py", line 36, in <module>
    from BTL import BTFailure, InfoHashType
ImportError: No module named BTL

I just could not make it out what it says. So can you please help me out in installing the program.

According to the install.unix.txt file included with the tar ball, the proper way to install is to run the install_nix.sh script.

The instructions asking you to run python setup.py install, are quote "included for historical reasons."

And is there really no bittorrent package in your distribution?

What do you mean by bittorrent package??

I have a few bittorrent clients in the distribution dvd. There is deluge and transmission. I do use it at times but I want to try some other clients too.

A small question: which one among the three would be better(i.e, powerful and lots of options to configure. It should include a scheduler too)

I mean, your distribution provides software packages in an online repository, available for easy download and installation, and likely has the program bittorrent available. What distribution are you using?

I have never used the original Bittorrent client. Of Deluge and Transmission, Transmission is lighter and smaller than Deluge. Deluge is probably more featureful. Both include a scheduler.

Well I use Mandriva linux!!!

Package management in Mandriva:
http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Docs/Bas...oving_software

I checked one of Mandriva's mirrors and there is a package for bittorrent. (You didn't mention release or architecture so that is Mandriva 2010, 32 bit.) Anyway, you should just search in your package manager for it and install as shown in the first link.
