Thanks to both Kai and Michael Simpson for the clues to get my search
started. I yum installed, from rpmforge (big thanks to Dag), bittorrent-
gui.noarch (4.4.x) and went to

    file:///usr/share/doc/bittorrent-4.4.0/TRACKERLESS.txt

Looks like it might be the ticket. Seems to be supporting what y'all
called DHT. It says it will not mess with tracked downloads. It supports
conventional tracked torrents too.

I'm going to give it a try and will report back.

Again, thanks to all for the help, including Florin, John and Johnny for
the help in initial problem resolution.

Thx,
