installing/using bittorrent client

[bruce]

don...

as i understand it. you select a torrent file from the website you want to
download. you should be able to start your bittorrent client and point it to
the file/torrent that you want it to download. i'm pretty certain you
shouldn't have to play with any filetype settings.

if your client's already running/installed, it might be setup to start
running when you download a torrent file. (i'm guessing here, as i've only
used the windows client...)

Subject: installing/using bittorrent client


I installed BitTorrent-4.0.0-1 from www.bittorrent.com

But when I click on a torrent file, rather than starting a file
transfer, it just downloads the little file (I guess that's the thing
that describes the actual thing to download)

The bittorrent faq says the mime type should be associated with torrent
files.... I restarted firefox browser etc.

Where are the mime types defined? And where does the bittorrent client
program get put? I installed the rpm, but whereis doesn't find it...
mind you I'm not even 100% what the actual program name is... hmmm, is
there a command to see what's in the rpm file> (I'll go read about that)

I guess I'll have to define the mime type manually, that's OK, if I just
knew where to do that.

Thanks,
Don
