FWIW, I now have an FC3 package of the new BitTorrent 4.0.0 client (no longer a beta) at:

Thanks for making these available, Paul. I've noticed that for quite some time now your packages have been more up to date and built faster than the BitTorrent package in Extras (which is still on 3.4.1, even though 3.4.2 came out ages ago). Would you consider putting yourself forward as the official maintainer of the BitTorrent packages for Extras? I mean, you make the packages anyway. Of course, the added administrative overhead of being an official Extras package maintainer might be too much of a hassle, or something you don't have time for, but it would be great if you'd consider it.
Well I guess I wouldn't know how much time it would take up until I'd tried it. I'd be willing to consider it, but I'd have thought it would be better if someone that could read and write python did it (that would rule me out at the moment). I've noticed that the GUI in particular has had some python portability issues in the past and I've only been able to resolve them by googling for a solution from someone that actually knows how to fix them.
Paul.
