Yep, turns out bittorrent was installing into the python-2.3 dir instead
of 2.4. I just had to tweak a couple of things and now it's running.
Although, my d/l speed is hovering around 16k/sec (on a 3mb connection
via cable modem) and should be a LOT faster, while my u/l speed is
doubling d/l speed. This has been running about 5 minutes or so.
Guess it needs time to build up and more peers to get on it or
something?
BTW, thanks for the pointer on python issue.
