I can't define "good" as I've not used anything else but rtorrent. But
the one available from Rpmforge on my CentOS 5.1 has given me no real
cause for complaint.

With that in mind, I recently signed up at Rpmforge and am trying to do
a build and "rpmize" of the latest 5.2 of bittorrent. It *will* be slow
going as I know *nothing* about many of its prerequisites. But since I
have a very long and diverse development/varied background and a
suitably matched ego with patience out the gazoooooo, I will suceed
eventually I think. If real life didn't keep rearing its ugly head, it
would go faster.

There is also a 6.0-beta out that I intend to attack once the 5.2 is
done.
