It's not in Fedora (the distribution proper) because it's in Extras (the
biggest repository associated with Fedora).

Uninstall whatever you grabbed from the Internet first.
Then do:

yum install bittorrent

Then run:

bittorrent-curses The_Desired_Torrent_File.torrent

Where The_Desired_Torrent_File.torrent is one of these:

http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents/bordeaux-binary-i386.torrent
http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents/bordeaux-DVD-i386.torrent
http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents/bordeaux-binary-x86_64.torrent
http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents/bordeaux-DVD-x86_64.torrent

bittorrent-curses is the one that works best in most cases. The correct
syntax is indicated above.
