The article above refers to my BitTorrent packages, which certainly work (including the GUI) on my FC3 systems at home and at work. What problems are you having with them?
I've never been able to get it to work even under FC2 I may not even use it but I would like to see what it looks like and test the benefit to me.
I'm not an expert, I have the Icon/Menu entry for the GUI front end if I click on it nothing happens so I opened a terminal and ran btdownloadgui.py this is the output I got.

Don't knock your brains out I'm used to it now.
This is typical of an unpatched version of the GUI. Try the BitTorrent RPMs at
http://www.city-fan.org/ftp/contrib/bittorrent/ instead. You might also want to try gnome-btdownload instead of BitTorrent-gui and wxPythonGTK2; not only is it a much smaller download, IMHO it's a better GUI for BitTorrent.
