Hi James

All the libs were downloaded from cooker, and python as per the FAQ on
the club site.
Adding the export path has helped (see Markus's reply), but there are
still errors thrown up.
Ideally, I would like the same fuctionality as I have with the windows
version.
ie. select the files wanted on a browser and download as a torrent.
So far its open the toorrent header...

Hmmm.   Like I said the interesting thing is that I only got it with 9.1
rpms on a 9.2 upgrade.  I was doing some testing of various things,
basically related to the results of an upgrade and what gets left behind
vs a clean install.  I do have the windows like functionality.  That's
perhaps the frustrating point.. No wait I have better functionality. 
Lemmme think here.

[expert] new brain please: bittorrent

2003-10-15 Thread Richard Bown
I'm going nuts !

I've installed bittorrent exactly as per the FAQ on the club pages.
All the RPMS installed and bittorrent3.3.2, and the gui version.

I'm running Gnome here so on the menus under networkingfile transfer
I have 2 icons, 
One for bittorrent creator, and the other for bittorrent gui.
select either has no effect.


trying from the command line with the test package
[EMAIL PROTECTED] richard]# btdownloadcurses.py test
mytorrent-richardbown929.torrent
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File /usr/bin/btdownloadcurses.py, line 7, in ?
from BitTorrent.download import download
ImportError: No module named BitTorrent.download

OK I can download 9.2 on a win98 using win4lin.
I'd prefer to do it properly with a proper OS.

What did I miss ??


TIA 
Richard

Maybe the test file you are trying to download no longer exists, or if 
you are on dhcp and have a new ip address, you will have to get a new 
.torrent because they are designed to only work from the ip address you 
downloaded it from.

The test file might have gone, but the ipaddress is still the same
,albeit it is dynamic and only changes when one of the routers gets
changed.
I would have expected something to happen when clicking on the icons
that got installed when the bittorrent rpms were installed.
Also running both mozilla on win98 and mdk9.1 the helper5 apps are in
both, yet on mdk9.1 the torrent function dos'nt go.

Oh well 75 hrs to go and I might have all 3 iso's..

(In another posting, you stated that you have python 2.3 installed, and
this is what causes the problem)

 What did I miss ??

Python simply doesn't find the modules, since the default search path is
/usr/lib/pythonVERSION/site-packages -- just enter the following and
see if you get the same result (I bet you do):

[EMAIL PROTECTED]rpm -ql bittorrent | grep download.pyc
/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/BitTorrent/download.pyc

So, in order to load the module, just provide the right search path:

export PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages

This should do the trick ...

Thanks Markus

That nows behaves like a torrent, 
There are still some errors , but it will have to wait until some
sanity returns to all the mirrors
