Hi all,
Just switched my home computer from Windows 7 to CentOS 6.6 and I'm having a slight bit of trouble with the bittorrent-clients.
* Transmission is fine but lacks "a bit" in features.
* Vuze is my preferred bt-client but gives me horrendous gfx-artifacts, like not showing the torrent name (it's white text on a white background or some such...).
* Deluge is better, and what I'm using now, but I'm having trouble finding a repo that has the updated versions available for install with yum. I installed v1.3.5 a few days ago and already it's telling me that version is way outdated.
Would anybody have any hints as to how and where to get the latest Deluge for CentOS? Or maybe even suggest a better torrent-client?
All I'm getting from the Deluge site is some kind of source packages that is of no use for me. 8-/
Thanks in advance for any hints, tips and tricks.

Sorin,
I recommend you stick to Transmission since it's in Base. I have however issued updated packages for Deluge in my nux-dextop repo if it helps you. Also check rtorrent out.

Cool, thanks! I'll check it out! Rtorrent is great, but for a home computer I'd prefer a clicky bt-client. :-) //Sorin

For the record and the benefit of anyone reading the list archives, Transmission appears to be in EPEL, not Base.
Thanks for the correction. Transmission is indeed in EPEL, not Base.

Later Deluge versions seem to need a newer python than available in CentOS-Base.repo. 8-/ I'm not sure I dare replace the current python, as I believe yum is dependent on python.
Maybe I'll just stick with Transmission and the Deluge from Epel.
Thanks guys for your hints and help for now! -- /Sorin

I was never able to get samba on the homefolder server to work properly and with decent speeds, it sometimes worked sometimes not, sometimes it wanted passwords, sometimes it just worked. Opening a Word document from the samba share took like two minutes each. A PDF-document took four minutes. Also I wanted to see if I could get better network speeds generally from my client to the servers. I didn't feel this was good enough.
Wifey still has the above problems from her Win7 box. Things got better after I switched her to LibreOffice, from MS Office 2010, but it's still not very smooth for some reason. 8-/
As a side note, Win7 was capable of about 150-170 Mbps on my gigabit network. On CentOS I got consistent speeds of up to 700 Mbps while e.g. syncing the local Owncloud folder!
