I tried to install a bitorrent client but couldn't get it to work.
Any recommendations/suggestions? (Am using gtk 1.x if that matters)
BitTorrent from the package rarely (if ever) works. Its structured in
such a way that it needs its libraries to be right where they are in
the Bram Cohen tarball. Just download the tarball of the latest
version from http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent/ and untar it in your ~
somewhere and use that. That's about all you're going to be able to
do. I've tried to install the package on RH, Gentoo and Debian and
they all failed. I'm beginning to think that there is no testing of
that package ever.
The official basic client sucks under Linux and Windows. Maybe more so
under Windows. (I use ABC with XP.)
