Comment:

 I wasn't sure if I was supposed to make this as `fixed` or `wontfix`. The
 port is using `py25-wxpython-2.8` since r110279 which can be installed
 with the option `+gtk` which is supposed to work on 64-bit systems, but I
 didn't test it.

 But see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_%28software%29:

 > Since version 6.0 the BitTorrent client has been a rebranded version of
 µTorrent. As a result, it is no longer open source and is currently
 available for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X.

 The port cannot be updated because the new version is not OpenSoure and
 the old version isn't maintained any more. The old version doesn't support
 wxWidgets 2.9 and never will (unless someone forks it and keeps
 maintaining it).

 My suggestion would be to remove the port, but that depends on whether any
 users still find it useful. (Personally I'm a happy user of Transmission.)

 In case that the new revision of `bittorrent` doesn't work and you would
 like to see it working, please open a new ticket and attach the full
 `main.log`.
