I managed to install bittorent by following the directions but when I try to open .torrent files with it I get a 'Session 'Shell' exited with signal 1'..
I really have no idea what is this suppose to mean.
Can someone help?

Download the BitTorrent Source code (tar.gz file)
Extract it to a directory, like /home/yourname/BitTorrent-3.4.2
cd BitTorrent-3.4.2
chmod +x btdownloadheadless.py
./btdownloadheadless.py filename.torrent
That's all there is to it and the BitTorrent starts downloading

what do you mean when you say "cd Bittorent-3.4.2 chmod +x bitdownload..........."
is that supposed to be typed in the command prompt? because i tried to open the client by clicking on the file and i got a c++ looking text

Yes, the BitTorrent I am talking about is command line based, NOT GUI based. That's why when you clicked on it, you got program code.
