I'm 386, but that shouldn't be all that different. Is it possible that bittorrent is only available as a 386 package?

This is what you'll see on a 32-bit machine - the bittorrent package itself is a no-arch package, which means it doesn't care what the underlying architecture is (translation: probably a scripting language - shell, perl, python, etc.). The 64-bit entries usually show only if you are actually running a 64 bit machine. There are also some switches you can use that show more, but I'm not familiar with them (DKDC :-).
Note that the "protect=0" is needed for priorities to work.
This is only true if you have both the yum-protectbase and yum-priorities plugins installed, in which case you should remove the protectbase plugin - it is recommended that you _not_ run both together.
