At some point in time we in the desktop group discussed shipping bittorrent and a nice frontend in fedora core. Since more and more people start to use this as a standard way of distributing software (e.g. fedora core itself uses this) it really should be supported in a default desktop install, so that when you click on a torrent file in the browser something "nice" happens. What are peoples opinions on this? Another question is what frontend to use as a default. bittorrent itself ships with a wxPython based frontend (bittorrent-gui, availible with bittorrent in fedora extras). Another frontend is gnome-bt (http://gnome-bt.sourceforge.net/) which is designed more like a simple *.torrent mime handler rather than a full bittorrent app. Ubuntu defaults to this i think. I packaged gnome-bt at: http://people.redhat.com/alexl/files/gnome-bt-0.0.22-1.noarch.rpm http://people.redhat.com/alexl/files/gnome-bt-0.0.22-1.src.rpm I don't use bittorrent all that much. What do people think about these two frontends? Are there other interesting ones?
Upstream bittorrent stopped using wxPython at 3.90; the current -gui package used in bittorrent 4.x is pygtk2-based and I don't see any advantages that gnome-bt has over it personally.
I think the only viable alternative would be azureus really, which is java-based.
