I'm following Siri's recommendation to download Kanotix, it looks nice.
I wanted to use BitTorrent, but ran into several problems. (I could
just bounce over to XP and use BT there, but I'll stick it out.)
* I downloaded the BitTorrent client and installed it from the RPM, but
I don't know how to run it. I can't identify the executable, or find
any help on the subject. (Here's another example of Free Software being
more friendly on Windows than on Linux.)
* I downloaded Azureus but it gripes about my Java being the wrong
version, yet I thought I just installed the latest. Can multiple
versions co-exist on my machine? If so, how do I find them, and how do
I root out old versions?
* I registered the wrong file to be activated when I click on a .torrent
file. How do I undo this to run the correct application? Will this be
fixed if I just use "run with" and tell it to remember the association?
* And here's a BitTorrent/Cox question. Is there any way to track my
current upload/download volumes, so I can leave a Torrent open without
getting Cox annoyed at me? They have stated clear limits, so I just
need to be able to watch what I'm doing. (I don't do video or massive
downloads, but would like to be generous with back-seeding my Torrents.)
Thanks,
Vic
