alright, im all about bittorent but its pissing me off on redhat, i downloaded the package and untared it, then i put the extension in /ect/mailcap/ of course in the location of the bittorrentdownloadgui.py thing, but its not working still... can someone help?

Here's what I do:

Download the torrent file to your desktop (just so it's easy to see and find the file)

Go to your konsole/terminal

then go to your bittorrent directory

then type this:

./btdownloadheadless <path of torrent file>

and that's it. The file will save automatically in your Bittorrent directory.

ogle, what kind of error do you get when you run btdownloadgui.py file.torrent from a command line?

i've temporarily given up on btdownloadgui.py. this command is good enough for me.

./btdownloadcurses.py --max_upload_rate 25 file.torrent

heres what happens:

[drof@localhost BitTorrent-3.3]$ ./btdownloadheadless.py /home/drof/Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030.torrent



ERROR:
error: Too many args - 1 max.
run with no args for parameter explanations

saving:
percent done:
time left:
download to:



and thats it, nothing special, but im pretty sure its not working

when i try with the gui:::
[drof@localhost BitTorrent-3.3]$ ./btdownloadgui.py /home/drof/Deltron 3030 - Deltron 3030.torrent
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./btdownloadgui.py", line 13, in ?
from wxPython.wx import *
ImportError: No module named wxPython.wx

Do a search in this forum for Bit Torrent because you have to add some stuff to your browser so when you click on the download it brings up the right screen you need.

Ogledbyoldmen, i was getting the same wxPython.wx import * error. my gui works now because i am using

wxPythonGTK-py2.2-2.4.2.4-1.i386.rpm

instead of

wxPythonGTK-py2.3-2.4.2.4-1.i386.rpm

whereis the file going to safe, i don't get this!!

i don't even know where i install it on Mandrake 9.2!

PLZ HELP

maybe this page will help http://www.methylblue.com/linux/bittorrent_HOWTO.php

thx, but that didn't help.

what version of python are you running.

what do u mean?

in order to run the bittorrent gui you need to

install Python, version 2.0 or later - http://python.org/

install wxPython - http://wxpython.org/

Se those spaces? Linux doesn't like spaces, especially in paramters. Try this:
./btdownloadcurses.py /home/drof/Deltron\ 3030\ -\ Deltron\ 3030.torrent

Or, edit the file name and remove the spaces. I don't think btdownloadcurses will like the "-" in the filename either. May think it's another parameter.

You can also use btlaunchmanycurses.py. People seem to ignore this command, but I love it. You just specify a directory and it processes all the .torrent files in that directory, and all organized one 1 nice window! You can even specify global options like --max_upload_rate 15 for all the torrents.
