Background:
BitTyrant is a BitTorrent client modified from the Java-based Azureus 2.5 code base. BitTyrant is designed to give preference to clients uploading to it fastest and limiting slower uploaders. It is free software and cross-platform, currently available for Windows, OS X, and Linux.[1]

BitTyrant is a result of research projects at University of Washington and University of Massachusetts Amherst,

As a strategic client, it has demonstrated an average increase in download speed by 70% over a standard BitTorrent client. Non-BitTyrant leechers in the swarm generally receive a decrease in download speed. Even so, if all clients are BitTyrant, high capacity peers are more effectively utilized, allowing for an overall increase in download speed. However, there is a caveat. If high capacity peers are involved in many swarms, low capacity peers lose some

Basically you need to have java installed which you can get here, Don't worry about the missing files it still works.

Then download this http://bittyrant.cs.washington.edu/dist_090607/BitTyrant-Linux32.tar.bz2

extract it to a directory and click on azureus
and it will automatically start.
It was that simple so I didn't make a package for it but if people really want a package I could make one. Just ask

Works like a charm but I have firewall issues. I have looked at numerous posts but they all seem to be WAY beyound my capabilities. I don't remember installing a Puppy firewall and I am behind a router/ADSL modem. I have tried entering the listening port numbers from Opera (NOP 4) and pctorrent form Dingo 4 but azureus's Nat/ Firewall test gives a nat error?

Any EASY beginner suggestions will be greatfully appreciated.

By the way some of the posts said to disable the firewall if installed but NOBODY said how it was done.

The change that you made to java allows it to work but after the initial use a problem occurs. I am using NOP 4.1.2 and when I set up a launcher it starts Bittyrant but after the initial screen it goes away. Using ./azureus in a terminal allows the program to function.

I have attached a screen shot of the terminal output.
