Has anyone actually used this?
I tried running it to download CentOS-5.5 DVD ISO, but it caused complete confusion. As far as I could see, after downloading about 400MB, it started creating literally thousands of links to this file, and then my server choked, and when I stopped it by pressing the power button, and re-started it the machine was in a confused state, and took a while to clean up.

I've used it to download ISOs for various distributions (Fedora, CentOS, Scientific Linux) without a hitch. I can't offer any insight on your problem, only hope that it has worked elsewhere.

OK, thanks. I probably did something wrong in using KTorrent. How exactly did you torrent-download CentOS?

I went to the centos.org site and selected the file I wanted, for example, this URL for x86_64 DVD http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/centos/5.5/isos/x86_64/CentOS-5.5-x86_64-bin... Then I opened Ktorrent and pressed the "open URL" button in the button bar and inserted the above URL in the dialog box and pressed "OK". Waited while the file downloaded. That's it.

ktorrent-4.0.5-1.fc13.i686 working great for me, no confusions or links as far as I can see.
what version are you using? have you tried other torrents except for the CentOS one?

ktorrent-4.1.0-1.fc14.x86_64 works fine here.
