Hi am new to Linux and BitTorrent but I've heard that its better to download linux distros via torrent sites. I was wondering if there was already an application in fedora core 5 for downloading torrent files and how to use it or if i have to download one and where i would get it and set it to work?

for all those applications MAN is avaliable - don't waste your time asking questions just try one of them! ktorrent - for KDE users

Thanks I'll try the kde one and if i have a problem to make it work i'll post again!

The original bittorrent client is included with FC5. I think azureus is as well. If you didn't install them during the OS install process, you can do so now by typing yum install bittorrent-gui (for bittorrent), or yum install azureus, in a terminal. You have to be root to do that.
You could also search through the Add/Remove Software app for them.
They're both pretty easy to use. Azureus is more full-featured, but consequently, a little more bloated, and runs a little slower.
