It would be much easier to type: apt-get update && apt-get install transmission
however if you want to do it the source way:
tar xvjf transmission-1.93.tar.bz2
cd transmission-1.93
./configure
make
make install
I get the transmission-1.93.tar.bz2 file. which is the application to download the torrent.
Approximately how to install these files in BT4?
Please... help me.

when i ./configure, i still have an error like this:
...............
checking for OPENSSL... yes
checking for LIBCURL... configure: error: Package requirements (libcurl >= 7.15.4) were not met:
No package 'libcurl' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables LIBCURL_CFLAGS
and LIBCURL_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
What should I do?
This is where it helps to know how to use Google. Take the error message, stick it in the Google search box, hit the button, read the results that come back. I have fixed a number of issues that have come up during installation of programs via that very method.
Based on the error you got, I believe you need to install libcurl. Find it in the repositories:
You are probably after a package with "dev" in the name. When you find it, install using:Code:apt-cache search libcurl
Or you could do as purehate suggested and just install transmission from the repositories. It will be a lot easier.Code:apt-get install [app_name]

Capitalisation is important. It's the difference between "Helping your brother Jack off a horse" and "Helping your brother jack off a horse".
The Forum Rules, Forum FAQ and the BackTrack Wiki... learn them, love them, live them.
Synaptic Package Manager should give you an error free install.
Oke all... Thank U very much.
