These suggestions are interesting but they do not address my question, which is: Why does yum not find bittorrent at Dag?
I was able to install bittorrent from Dag's repository using the gnome graphical package installer so the package exists. Yum finds the repository for it obtains the package database from there. So why does
yum --enablerepo=dag install bittorrent
report: package not found?
Maybe it's not there any more???
Go to rpmforge.

It's still available from Dag. Without removing my working client, I can prove it with wget:

Ktorrent both either 32 or 64 bit are there, too. I tried only the 64 bit version:

What are the chances of the O.P. having a yum config file screwed up?
