I'm trying to install Bit Torrent on Fedora and I haven't got a clue where to start.

Someone told me I would need to install from source. I've downloaded the source code in a zip file but I haven't got a clue what to do with it.

Can anyone advise me, from scratch, how to install Bit Torrent on Fedora?

here is the guide to install http://btfaq.com/serve/cache/12.html

btw, you need to have python and wxPhyton installed b4 you can run it. you can grap them from http://www.python.org/ and http://www.wxpython.org/.

anyway, i cant get bittornado runing, so if you happened to know how to get it running... can you plz let me know??

thankz

I just downloaded the source version of BitTornado, untared it into a directory (/usr/local/bittornado for example) and ran it this way:

./btdownloadcurses.py --minport 50000 --maxport 50008 --responsefile xxxxxxx.torrent --saveas /data/aldaron/downld/xxxx.zip

I do everything from a SSH session, so now I have a problem: when I logout from my current session, the bittornado (python) process gets killed. I've tried using 'nohup' this way:

nohup ./btdownloadcurses.py --minport 50000 --maxport 50008 --responsefile xxxxxxx.torrent --saveas /data/aldaron/downld/xxxx.zip &

But the programs seems not to start functioning. What can I do??

I'll answer myself: before starting btdownloadcurses.py, execute a 'screen' command. Start btdownloadcurses.py there and rettach that screen with CTRL+A+D. Then you can logout and when you turn back, you can type 'screen -r' to recover the screen in which btdownloadcurses.py is running.

It's easy and it works!!!

Bye!!!
