Questions about libtorrent.

We have:
1) libtorrent
2) rb_libtorrent

They do the same I think and they confilict each other. So it is not possible to have installed lets say rtorrent and btg together? Or maybe rtorrent can use both libs?

So lets say I want have btg and rtorrent on same pc waht should I do?

I know I can test things but I do not want to play arrond and end up with no torrent client at all.

Re: Questions about libtorrent.

The problem is that there are two projects, each named libtorrent. They both install a library file, /usr/bin/libtorrent.so, which is why they conflict.

If you want to install both, you can use the following pkgbuild's which renames rtorrent's libtorrent to libRtorrent.

librtorrent

rs_rtorrent

You can then install rb_libtorrent and btg.
