I "rpm -e BitTorrent" and went to the above site and got the fc3 one and
gui...

Yup... now it's working the way I expected... click on a torrent file
and the bittorrent window comes up and the transfer is under way...

The one on bittorrent.com says it is for fc1... since there wasn't one
for fc2 and fc3, I figured the fc1 version worked on either....
obviously that's not the case.

Thanks for the tip to the dag.wieers.com site... not quite as intuitive
as www.bittorrent.com but it works a lot better. :-)

Too bad bittorrent isn't included as part of core... :-) But, we can't
include everything... :-)

Thanks again,

Don
