Angry Installing a bittorrent client in MAndriva 2010 One CD Gnome


I'm trying to download a bittorrent client for my Mandriva 2010 One CD Gnome, brand new install (2nd OS on Gateway Celery 1000/256 MB RAM, half of a 60 GB drive). If I download the urpmi file, it is only 12 or 13 bytes long (qbtorrent or bitstomlite) and when I click on it, it says that the package is not found. I am getting frustrated and angry. I have tried the qbtorrent website, the Mandriva website, and at least one or two other websites, with no luck. Also tried the Bittorrent website. I could have had this up and running YESTERDAY on that other OS. I'm no dummy, used to own a computer store, and have been playing with linux for several years, though I have never gotten to use the command line interface (ashamed to admit that, since I am an old TRS-DOS user from nearly 30 years ago....) Can someone tell me exactly how to get a bittorrent client up and running on this distro?

There's Azureus or Deluge to name but two. Both should be available in your Package Manager.
