== Finding a BitTorrent Client ==

Simply installing BitTorrent allows the downloading, but no control on it, the simpler BitTorrent utility may use the whole bandwith of your computer for upload. Use ktorrent (default on beta2) and configure it as needed. Most other clients should do the same.

BitTorrent clients are available for several platforms. You can find
links to some BitTorrent clients on the
[http://www.bittorrent.com/index.html Official BitTorrent Web Page].

If you use SUSE Linux, we recommend that you use the generic BitTorrent client or the ktorrent client, available from the [http://ftp.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/tools/BitTorrentClients/ ftp.opensuse.org server] as well as other Web sites. Once ktorrent is
installed, you can click on a BitTorrent link in Konqueror to start a
download. However, you can use a different BitTorrent client if you
prefer.

If you use Windows, one popular option is to use
[http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/bittorrent/BitTorrent-4.0.2.exe BitTorrent 4.0.2]. Once you have downloaded and installed this client,
you can start a BitTorrent download by clicking on a .torrent download
link in your browser.

Another option (for Linux, Windows and MacOSX) is [http://azureus.sourceforge.net Azureus], which is a mature and easy-to-use BitTorrent client with a nice graphical user interface. The only requirement is to have a Java JRE (>= 1.4.0) installed (preferrably the latest stable 1.4.x or 1.5.x). RPMs for SUSE 9.3 are [http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/suser-gbv/rpms/SuSE_9.3/azureus-2.3.0.4-0.gbv.1.i586.rpm available from gbv's SUSE RPM repository on gwdg.de].
