I'm a Noob and I need help installing....

[Ace_Well]

Hey i have used Mandriva for about a month now. And I reasontly got my 5.1 speaker sound working, but now I want some music.

So now I got some questions:

What kind Bittorrent client should I use?


How do i install it?
(Step by step noob version)

[vengeance]

does it have kde?so it wud Ktorrent

[smolloy]

You sure Mandriva doesn't come with a bittorrent client installed? Ktorrent or Azureus? Have a look around the "start" menu (sorry for the windows terminology), under the "internet" section.

Im pritty sure about that, I have looked through the comp and I can't find anything, but do you know what the bit torrent client could be called in mandriva?

[Ace_Well]

I used to use Azureus in Windows so I would love to use that in Linux as well, I just checked the Azureus website for Linux rmps. but I still don't realy know how to get it to work

[smolloy]

If you look here, and scroll down to the networking section, you'll see that bittorrent is included by default.

If you prefer azureus, you could d/load and install the rpm. Check here for instructions on how to do that.

Open Konsole and execute 'ktorrent'. Post error message here, if any.

I can't find the Included Bittorrent client, I have dun the find files as well but still no bittorrent client.

I'm running on the free Mandriva Spring 07 version, could that be the problem?

[devils casper]

Did you execute ktorrent in Konsole? Whats the output?

[Ace_Well]

Well then I have a few new questions, How do I execute Ktorrent? what do I do In the konsole? Is the console called "Terminal Program"?
