I may do that later (I'll stash your suggestion in a to do box). I have 
a couple clients doing what I *need* ATM and am only looking to give 
something back. My immediate goal is an update to Bittorrent to Rpmforge.
Thanks for the suggestion though. One never knows where my curiosity 
might lead me.

After I finish the Bittorrent one, *if* I can/do, I'll be glad to 
help/do deluge. All things go slowly for me right now, though. It's been 
*many* years since I did development work and time will be needed to get 
some things coming as "second nature" again.

Have you posted a request for them to Rpmforge? Many times on other 
lists, I see Dag say post a request for something. It may surprise you 
that some of the requests might have more interest than you think.
