Torrents for Fedora Core can be found at torrent.fedoraproject.org
The BitTorrent 4.4.0 package here is closely
based on the current Fedora package, with additional tweaks for backwards compatibility with
older distributions. The GUI subpackage requires pygtk2 version 2.6.0 or later and
hence is only available for Fedora Core 4, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, and later distribution releases.
Users of older distributions are suggested to use the bittorrent-curses client instead.
The BitTorrent 5.x package here is
available only for Fedora Core 4 onwards since it requires python 2.4 or later.
New dependencies in this version include wxPython 2.6 for the GUI (this is available
in Fedora Extras prior to Fedora 7, and here in the form of a compat-wxPython26 package for
Fedora 7 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 onwards), python-twisted-core, and python-twisted-web
for the base package, which for the time being will be available in the Twisted directory,
though the packages are also now available in Fedora Extras for Fedora Core 6 and later releases..
The GUI packages are only available for Fedora Core 4 or later because of the wxPython dependencies.
GTorrentViewer and
torrentsniff
appear to be unmaintained packages but are provided here whilst people find them useful.
BitTorrent requires python-crypto; this package is available in
Fedora Extras so I have not provided packages here for Fedora 7 or later.
Torrentsniff requires a perl(MODULE_COMPAT_*) "virtual dependency";
this is provided by the main perl package in recent distributions. Users of Red Hat
Linux 9 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 can use the perl-Module-Compat package from
the perl-modules directory to satisfy this dependency.
GTorrentViewer requires gtk >= 2.4.0 and is therefore not available
on distributions older than Fedora Core 2.
