Name        : bittorrent
Product     : Fedora 13
Version     : 4.4.0
Release     : 14.fc13
URL         : http://www.bittorrent.com/
Summary     : BitTorrent swarming network file transfer tool
Description :
BitTorrent is a tool for distributing files. It's extremely easy to use -
downloads are started by clicking on hyperlinks. Whenever more than one person
is downloading at once they send pieces of the file(s) to each other, thus
relieving the central server's bandwidth burden. Even with many simultaneous
downloads, the upload burden on the central server remains quite small, since
each new downloader introduces new upload capacity.

Update Information:

This update fixes deprecation warnings due to the use of the old "sha" module,
using the modern "hashlib" module instead.    It also fixes a problem validating
partly-downloaded torrents, enabling faster restarts.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.  Use 
su -c 'yum update bittorrent' at the command line.
For more information, refer to "Managing Software with yum",
available at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/yum/.

All packages are signed with the Fedora Project GPG key.  More details on the
