Bittorrent Install
I'm having a lot of trouble trying to install bittorrent.
I've downloaded the sources but it has about a million dependencies that I can't seem to install through apt-get or aptitude or synaptic in any way...
so I tried installing bittorrent through apt-get and synaptic which it says it installed but then it actually doesn't install it...
Does anyone know how to install bittorrent?
btw... the dependencies that aren't met are python-twisted and python-wxgtk and all of their dependencies, which I tried apt-get and searching online for but with no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I tried typing in btdownloadgui.bittorrent and some strange screen popped up listing what arguments you're supposed to use with it I guess... I'm not quite sure what it is.
But is there any way to install bittorrent and then just open it up by clicking an icon like every other program instead of having to start it from the command line?
It says its installed under synaptic, but it's not listed under the program list in Actions -> Run Application...
so I don't know what the deal is with it.
