Hmm... it seems the .rpm wasn't entirely correct -- here is what I get:

beast:~ # btdownloadcurses.py --url 'http://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/10.0/iso/SUSE-10.0-LiveDVD.iso.torrent'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/btdownloadcurses.py", line 25, in ?
    from BitTorrent.download import Feedback, Multitorrent
ImportError: No module named BitTorrent.download
beast:~ #

So, what next?
[updating the locate database to see if/where BitTorrent.download got installed...]
