Quoting from the Fedora ML:
I propose to retire bittorrent (the original python client) for the reasons outlined below. If anyone's interested in taking it over instead, please apply on the package database and I'll transfer ownership. Think carefully before you act though!
Dead Upstream:
==============
Well, not actually dead but upstream has gone closed-source as of version 6 so it's effectively dead.
Old Version:
============
Upstream's last open-source release (code dump really) was 5.3 (http://download.bittorrent.com/dl/), which was little more than a GPL re-licensing of 5.2.2 and a dump of upstream VCS content. Fedora has been stuck with 4.4.0 though with its PyGTK GUI because the "new" GUI in version 5 was a rewrite with wxGTK but it didn't work with wxGTK > 2.6 (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/223623) and so was unusable in Fedora.
