Where is Bittorrent?

[entropy]

Hi ... the package manager tells me bittorrent is already installed in my DVD hard drive installation of Knoppix, but it doesn't seem to be anywhere in the list of applications to use, under 'internet' or elsewhere (?) Any suggestions as to the best way to get torrents working? I just got thru working out the 'root' password issue ... phew

Thx for any suggestions...

Try from a console: btdownloadcurses torrentfile.torrent
or: btd<tab>c<tab> --max_upload_rate 50 torrentfile.torrent
change 50 according to your connection.

Thanks. Will try. I tried installing Azureus, which is the one i use in XP but the install didn't seem to go very well :/

azureus needs java and iirc knoppix doesn't come with it. Try these for java
