I really like the bittorrent client that i get with mydsl. On my other laptop i got a Debian system, and i use bittorrent + the usual gui and i do not like that half as much as the dsl-version. Where can i get the bittorrent client that is used in DSL? By the way, can .dsl extensions be used in a debian system in some way? How? If it is possible what could be problematic with that?

Take care/
Björn

Easy.

apt-get install bittorrent

if you later decide you want the gui version...

apt-get install bittorrent-gui

Maybe i missunderstood something, or didnt make myself clear enough. Ive already apt-geted bittorrent and the gui, but i do not behave at all like in dsl. If i write "bittorrent" in dsl i get the opportunity to chose uploadspeed in a gui, and then i can go to the folders with .torrent and download destination. In my debiansystems i do not get this oportunities. Maybe i should just take a closer look on how to configure bittorrent.

Take care/

Oh!

That is a custom wrapper. It isn't available anywhere except the bittorrent.dsl.

And I recently finished a new version of bittorrent.dsl, ans it has a much nicer (flua) wrapper now.

You will like it. Especially manycurses.
