Well, my company is a paying RHN member, and I really would like to get the iso's. I've read about this ``BitTorrent'' stuff, and even installed it. But it's complaining about not having Python >= 2 on my Red Hat 7.3 system. Yet I have an rpm installed called python2-2.2-16. I know beans about Python. Can someone help me understand what I need to do to make this work?
Perhaps i'm missing the point here, but did you installed wxPython? BitTorrent needs it, and i believe it's not in the RH kit.
On RH 8.0, i only downloaded the wxPython src.rpm from here http://wxpython.org/ then rebuilt it and installed the binary. Now BitTorrent works just fine for me, with Galeon (editing mailcap was not enough, i had to specify the handler in Galeon when i clicked on a .torrent file, but that's ok).
Nevermind. Sure I installed wxPython, but I found a clue on a web page someplace (I've already lost it) that might help others. It said I needed to change the ``python'' on the first line of btdownloadgui.py to ``python2''. Everything's working now, but I don't know if I'll be able to ramp up speeds like people are talking about since I don't control my company's firewalls, and therefore can't forward the specific port they were talking about.
Thanks, dk
