No Gui frontens for Bittorrent clients work?

I have tried Bittorrent, gnome-torrent , btdownload all get the same error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/gnome/bin/gnome-torrent", line 5, in <module>
    import BitTorrent.download, BitTorrent.bencode
ImportError: No module named download

Any ideas google didnt show much

bittorrent shows this

>>> unable to setrlimit  not allowed to raise maximum limit
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/bittorrent", line 183, in <module>
    from BitTorrent.GUI_wx.DownloadManager import MainLoop
  File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/BitTorrent/GUI_wx/__init__.py", line 29, in <module>
    import wx
ImportError: No module named wx

azureus works for me. rtorrent probably does too. Neither of them use the python modules.

and yeah, the Wx error can be fixed with wxpython

imho u have only 2 options: rtorrent (which is cli) or transmission (which is both cli & gui).
azureus can be a 3rd option only if u can afford the java bloat and million of uneeded to the average torrent user features the devs decided to put in it

If you like a gtk based torrent client, I find deluge very nice,

[crooksey@thinkpad ~]$ pacman -Ss deluge
community/deluge 0.5.0-3
    Bittorrent client written in PyGTK

I used Bittorrent before, but I got the impression it slowed down the system + system updates from pacman often broke it.

I will use Deluge when it can save sessions, and when it stops leaving "lock-files" lying around so Deluge won't start again.

For now I use Transmission - works great, but not as good looking as Deluge and Bittorrent IMHO.

Have you tried the latest one yet? I just upgraded this morning, 0.5.0 wasn't bad, but 0.5.1.1 is great. So far it has been flawless, it is faster, more stable and has more features.
