I know nothing about it. Now you should be overwhelmed with
information.
I use and recommend bittorrent-gui. Just yum install it and it works.
Don't. I'm pretty sure this is the mainline Python source from
BitTorrent, Inc. Since BitTorrent, Inc. became a shill for the
MPAA/RIAA, I don't go anywhere near them.
Azureus requires java and sucks up tons of RAM.
Depends what you want. Azureus trades RAM and CPU for a *very* nice GUI
and minimizing disk activity. Other programs have different tradeoffs.
Furthermore, Azureus uses a Kademlia modification that allows
trackerless torrents. This means that if the tracker or all the seeders
disappear, the cluster can finish up exchanging the file as long as they
have at least one of the all packets between them.
This is a bonus for specialty, niche torrents that aren't rips of
popular movies.
I have heard good things about KTorrent. If you don't want the whole
Java/Azureus thing, that's probably your other choice as a torrent
beginner on Linux.
