Hmmm...

 	apt-get install bittornado-gui

?

That's what did it all for me... ;-)



But - speaking of bittorrent - has anyone here ever used bittorrent on a 
Mac (and encountered problems with it? Namely - incredibly slow 
downloads)?

A friend of mine tried torrent, but couldn't get more than ~10-15kb/s on 
his G4 OS/X machine...  And it wasn't his connection - while bittorrent 
was still slow, trying an http download came up to about 100kb/s.

And one of my machines that was also torrenting the CD image in question 
only sent him about 2-3kb/s whereas some other peers downloaded at more 
than 100kb/s from my machine...

So there didn't seem to be a bottleneck on either side of the connection, 
nevertheless his torrent client never got to any decend download speeds...

Any ideas?
