rtorrent fedora packages

rtorrent and libtorrent (from: http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/) are now packaged & available for Fedora in Fedora extra’s (for Fedora Core 4, 5, 6 and devel).

Their without a doubt the best console torrent client for linux, especially when combined with ’screen’, and can seed faster then just about any other client out there.
In fedora these can be installed by enabling the extras repository (if not already enabled), and typing:

# yum install rtorrent

The spec files and sample rc file can be viewed in fedora’s viewcvs interface:

http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/rpms/rtorrent/?root=extras
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/rpms/libtorrent/?root=extras

Enjoy!
