I'm 386, but that shouldn't be all that different. Is it possible that
bittorrent is only available as a 386 package?
$ yum list installed \*torrent\*
Loaded plugins: allowdowngrade, changelog, downloadonly, fastestmirror,
: fedorakmod, kernel-module, priorities, tsflags,
versionlock
Installed Packages
bittorrent.noarch 4.4.0-1.el5.rf installed
bittorrent-gui.noarch 4.4.0-1.el5.rf installed
libtorrent.i386 0.12.0-1.el5.rf installed
rtorrent.i386 0.8.0-1.el5.rf installed
The above makes me think (being essentially ignorant about all this rpm
stuff) that you might need to over-ride your architecture? And I got
then from rpmforge, not Dag's place so I don't know if it's there or
not.
I'm not sure how current that dag repo is. I know that Dag has been
involved in trying to get rpmforge going, some kind of involvement with
other repos, etc.
FWIW, I've this rpmforge setup.
$ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo
# Name: RPMforge RPM Repository for Red Hat Enterprise 5 - dag
# URL: http://rpmforge.net/
[rpmforge]
name = Red Hat Enterprise $releasever - RPMforge.net - dag
#baseurl = http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/$basearch/dag
mirrorlist = http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/mirrors-rpmforge
#mirrorlist = file:///etc/yum.repos.d/mirrors-rpmforge
enabled = 1
protect = 0
gpgkey = file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-rpmforge-dag
gpgcheck = 1
priority=10
# includepkgs=rtorrent.i386 libtorrent.i386 libsigc++20.i386
nvidia-x11-drv
Note that the "protect=0" is needed for priorities to work.

I only use the rtorrent, which has the DHT feature, so I really can't
offer any more than what I have above.
Sorry.
