I'm not sure how set in stone the use of gnome bittorrent
(gnome-bt.sf.net) is for the hoary release, but I figured I'd try
anyway.

Recently, I caught up on the discussion of a the need for a BitTorrent
client and started to write one myself. Realizing feature freeze is
near I rushed my things together in a semi distributable form. I'm new
to autotools, so please bear with me if things don't work for you.

You can get the client (Freeloader) from here:
http://www.ruinedsoft.com/freeloader/freeloader-0.1.tar.bz2
Webpage and screen shots:
http://www.ruinedsoft.com/freeloader/

It is not as feature complete as I would have, but it will soon be (I
think the biggest missing feature is saving preferences after exit).
Check the TODO file for stuff I have in mind. It is already very
usable.

It supports standard web transfers as well as torrents and multiple
simultaneous downloads in a single interface.

It requires a fairly recent pygtk.

Please let me know what your think.Thanks for your time,
Steven
