Bittorrent not working

I just installed bittorrent and wxpython: it is not working.
The interface shows up but frozen.

Re: Bittorrent not working

I've been having issues with the new bittorrent too (wx interface). It works for me, but not without sucking up CPU resources. I've had it lock up on me several times. Besically, if you try to do anything, like accessing a menu item while it's downloading, it hangs. Sadly, I don't know how to fix this besides downgrading and using the previous version for a while. Hopefully, they will fix the issues.

in C or C++ runs much better than this interpreter python thing,

Re: Bittorrent not working

You have quite a vast array of possibilities aside of official Bittorrent client. I'd suggest giving rtorrent (as Runzajs suggested) or enhanced-ctorrent (in AUR) a try if you're after a command line client or Transmission (GTK) or KTorrent (QT) if you prefer a GUI one. There are also many other possibilities as well.
