network cards?

New subject: Somewhat OT: BItTorrent Documentation
Anybody know where I can find the documentation for the Linux
implementation of bittorrent (e.g. bittorrent-curses, bittorrent-tracker,
maketorrent-console), the stuff you get when you say "yum install
bittorrent" on FC6?
I figured out how to use ktorrent to download the F7 ISOs and then make
them available for others, but I can only do that if I have the ktorrent
client running... which is inefficient and rather not-so-easy to do if I'm
1000 miles away from my server.
I'd like to set up bittorrent to run continuously in the background and
make the F7 ISOs available continuously over a multi-megabyte backbone in
the Northeast, but to do that I need to figure out how to run the
bittorrent components.
Tried "man bittorrent" and "bittorrent --help" and "info
bittorrent" and
searched throughout Google (the only two documentation links I found led to
non-existent pages).

Did you look at http://dessent.net/btfaq/ in your Google search?

Take a look at aria (in extras). You can run it in a "screen" session
("yum info screen" for details).

All I know of are the source code and the output from "bittorrent-*
--help". The command I use for sharing is "bittorrent-curses
--max_upload_rate 60 foo.torrent", from the directory the .torrent is in.
You probably want some sort of limit, but I don't know.

Good afternoon, Charles.
OK, I'll try that.
However, I can't do anything that requires an X session. So, if aria
(whatever that is) is an X-Windows program, I won't be able to run it. I
can run X applications remotely but it takes forever, and occasionally
seems to cause my server to misbehave on other undefined ways (such as it
did this morning while trying to run ktorrent). I don't want that to
happen while I'm 1000 miles away and can't visit the co-location site to
fix or reboot it. So, today I decided to restrict myself to console-mode
text-mode applications until I get back.
To Kam Leo ... thanks for the pointers to the FAQ site. I have read
through it and there was some helpful information, but not a lot... the
bulk of the content seems to assume a level of knowledge that's a lot
higher than I have.
Let me clarify exactly what I want to do. Using ktorrent, I can download
the files in a torrent and, while and after downloading, ktorrent makes
those files available to others according to the upload limits I have
established. I don't need to do anything in the way of configuration other
than changing a few variables in the ktorrent setup. Thereafter, whenever
I start ktorrent, it will make the downloaded torrents available to others
without any further intervention from me.
That's what I'd like to be able to do with the text-mode client(s). I
don't have the time right now to figure out how to integrate bittorrent
with Apache, or set up a full-blown tracker or seeder, even if I wanted to
try to do that from 1000 miles away which I don't.
Is there a text-mode bittorrent client that will serve downloaded files
while and after downloading, just like ktorrent and the Windows bittorrent
client do, without having to integrate with apache or set up a tracker or
any of the other magic complicated things that seem to be required?
I already have all the F7 files I need and I just want to Do The RIght
Thing and give some of the services back to the community, not interested
in running a long-term bittorrent server or taking a large block of time
away from the time I have avaialble to set up and run F7.

There is also a but of documentation in /usr/share/doc . It's not great,
but it was enough to help me set up a tracker. It also has the scripts
in the examples ending with .py , but you don't want to include those.

All BitTorrent clients do this. Pick any of them. I use
bittorrent-curses. You could run it in a screen session with
"bittorrent-curses --max_uplaod_rate 60 foo.torrent", or whatever max
upload rate you want.

New subject: pup problem
I recently installed FC8 but can't get the pup applet to work. According
to the Fedora wiki this is a known bug:
Bug 381721 - In a fresh F8 DVD install, you might see Package Updater
(PUP) is asking to insert CD when you launch it for the first time. As a
work-around, click on Repository Manager and uncheck "Install Media".
See a screenshot.
What is this CD? I installed FC8 from a DVD (which doesn't work with
pup.)
Where is this "Repository Manager" the wiki says to click on?
If there's no fix for pup how do I disable it and prevent its "new
updates" message from popping up each time I logon?
Sorry if this is all old news. And thanks for the help.

The writers are not too technical. CD is loosely used. CD/DVD is
interchange in write-up.

In Gnome Desktop click Applications -> Add/Remove Software to launch
Package Manager (aka PUP), click on Edit, select Repositories (only
option on my system), and uncheck/deselect InstallMedia.
I have not fired up KDE in a while but the process should be similar.
Sorry if this is all old news. And thanks for the help.
