Simply, do an "rpm -i --force" to install > it and it will work: no need for extra downloads, etc, etc. You should NOT use --force to install anything. You will pay for it later!! Bittorrent does NOT need to be installed. Run it from the command line!! As a general rule if you have to use --force or --nodeps something is broken and you need to understand ALL of the consequences of using the above switches before you use them. For something like BitTorrent it is just not worth it. As I said above BitTorrent works just fine from a command line. As was suggested earlier you can use btdownloadcurses.py --url http://f.moya.scarywater.net/redhat9.torrent If you are on adsl you will most likely have to limit your outbound bandwidth to get decent inbound bandwidth. For that matter given that 9 has been out for several weeks you might do better just getting it from one of the official Red Hat Linux mirrors. It should be less hassel but maybe not as much fun. :-) You have been warned!! :-) -- .............Tom "Nothing would please me more than being able to tdiehl@xxxxxxxxxxxx hire ten programmers and deluge the hobby market with good software." -- Bill Gates 1976 We are still waiting ....
