You do not open bittorrent by typing "bittorrent", there are two methods: [1 will work] btdownloadgui [for gui] btdownloadcurses [terminal] gnome-btdownload [for the hoary built in gnome-bt] *I suggest you go to bittorrent.com and download the latest source. To use this: you extract it, and in a terminal you hit "python btdownloadgui.py" -- bored2k
