Install Python:

 

Download the MacPython 2.5 Universal binary (17.9 MB).

 

Install wxPython:

 

Download the wxPython 2.5 Universal binary (32.7 MB)

 

Install Bittornado:

 

Download the BitTornado 0.3.18 file (268 KB).

 

Double-click the "BitTornado-0.3.18.zip" file to create the "BitTornado-CVS" folder.

 

Move the BitTornado-CVS to your Applications folder

 

Go to your Applications -> Utilities folder and open Terminal. Type the following commands:

 

cd /Applications/BitTornado-CVS   (press Enter)
sudo python setup.py install   (press Enter)
(give your password and then press Enter)

 

Install pycrypto:

 

Download pycrypto

 

extract it, and go with Terminal to the folder where you extracted it.

 

so if it's in your Applications folder:

 

cd /Applications/pycrypto-2.0.1   (press Enter)
sudo python setup.py install   (press Enter)
(give your password and then press Enter)

 

go to the folder Applications/MacPython 2.5

 

and start the program: Build Applet

 

open the file btdownloadgui.py (from the folder BitTornado-CVS) with it and convert it into a app and save it with a name of your choise.

 

the app can be placed anywhere on your HDD.

 

open Terminal and type:

 

sudo nano ~/.BitTornado/config.gui.ini

 

and type your password.

 

then edit the line: "crypto_allowed = 0" and change it to "crypto_allowed = 1"

 

then exit and save.

 

now when you download a torrent, and it ask with what file you want to open it, point to where you have the app

thanks lot for good guide..a question: could you list the pro and cons of bittornado client versus other client as Xtorrent , trasmission and others..

 

Tnx again.

 

BitTornado is one of the view torrent clients for osx wich supports encryption, xtorrent and transmission don't support encryption.

 

most torrent clients don't support it, utorrent on windows does support it, that's what makes it faster, because lot's of providers use traffic shaping for torrent traffic, with having encryption, you can bypass the traffic shaping of such providers, wich translates to torrents downloading faster.

...the compilation is went well but I'm not ale to find the file 

~/.BitTornado/config.gui.ini

for editing it..?Where's I' m wrong?

 

EDIT: I mean if I edit that file I have a file empty with no lne to modify , even if I use to sostitute ..BitTornado with the name that I've used to rename the application..

Installation instructions work without a hitch, but Bittornado text within the preferences pane and other icons are obviously not showing correctly; downloading works but I haven't noticed any speed differences, gonna watch it for a while and see if this is faster than Azureus. I'm liking the small memory footprint. Thanks for the instructions!

EDIT: I can't seem to load multiple instances of the app, is this supposed to run only a single torrent per app?

Me too, followed redcell's instructions, had to install xcode. No config file anywhere.

 

Any ideas?

Run the BitTornado app you created with MacPython once, and it'll create the config.gui.ini file. You can then proceed to edit it from there.

 

Although I didn't actually need to edit that line; it already was set to 1.

 

Cheers for that, you're right, it's there now.

 

Thanks.
