I use bittorrent rarely and I've always preferred in the official GUI/curses client, which can be be quickly installed from the terminal (as root):

Code: Select all
yum install bittorrent*


Then run bittorrent-gui.

"Transmission" is also pretty good.
Code: Select all
yum install transmission

I've been meaning to try transmission, but deluge works fine for me.

You use the terminal to do so. You start the terminal up and type bittorrent-gui into it.
