Tip: Matching Ktorrent for KDE 3.5.9 on OpenSUSE

I like KTorrent and I like KDE 3.5.9 on OpenSUSE. But I dislike the default KTorrent that came with the KDE 3.5.9 install: KTorrent 3.1.2 for KDE4.

So I decided to fix the issue. To do so I performed a zypper se ktorrent and found out that there is a ktorrent2 package with version 2.2.7 and a ktorrent package with version 3.1.2. A quick browse to http://ktorrent.org/ showed me that version 3.1.2 is for KDE4 while 2.2.7 is directed to KDE3.

To sum up:
  1. $ su
  2. # zypper rm ktorrent
  3. # zypper in ktorrent2
End result is the right KTorrent for the right KDE ;-)
