From the wxPython web site: NOTE: The links below are for the binaries and source for wxPython 2.5.2.8. The 2.5.x versions are considered unstable development snapshots, meaning that the API is allowed to change from version to version, not that it is any more buggy than satable versions, (although it sometimes is.) Prior versions are at SourceForge. The latest version from the stable (mostly frozen API) branch is 2.4.2.4 Apparently the API has changed enough so that BitTorrent does not work. If you want to use a GUI BitTorrent client and have Java installed, Azureus (http://azureus.sourceforge.net) is a nice client. I used it to download FC3 today. There is a plug-in available so that you can control it via a browser window, but I've not tried that. All in all, a nice client that appears to be built with Eclipse, the SWT libraries, and Java. /mde/ just my two cents . . . .
