don... as i understand it. you select a torrent file from the website you want to download. you should be able to start your bittorrent client and point it to the file/torrent that you want it to download. i'm pretty certain you shouldn't have to play with any filetype settings. if your client's already running/installed, it might be setup to start running when you download a torrent file. (i'm guessing here, as i've only used the windows client...) -bruce -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Don Russell Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2005 5:56 PM To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: installing/using bittorrent client I installed BitTorrent-4.0.0-1 from www.bittorrent.com But when I click on a torrent file, rather than starting a file transfer, it just downloads the little file (I guess that's the thing that describes the actual thing to download) The bittorrent faq says the mime type should be associated with torrent files.... I restarted firefox browser etc. Where are the mime types defined? And where does the bittorrent client program get put? I installed the rpm, but whereis doesn't find it... mind you I'm not even 100% what the actual program name is... hmmm, is there a command to see what's in the rpm file> (I'll go read about that) I guess I'll have to define the mime type manually, that's OK, if I just knew where to do that.
