If you are looking for "Bittorrent and whitebox" you probably will
never hit good luck.  If you look for Bittorrent and redhat then your
luck may improve, like:

http://dag.wieers.com/packages/bittorrent/

If you are running WBEL3, get the "EL3" bittorrent RPM from dag, or
you can just add his repositories to your yum and do a "yum install
bittorrent" to have yum do the work for you.

I hadn't used bittorrent until I downloaded WBEL3.1 with it last
~June.  Having fought with FTP/HTTP downloads for years, bittorrent is
a breath of marvelously fresh and perfumed air.  In addition to being
faster/more reliable for end users, it takes bandwidth off of mirrors.
 Delightful.
