Did you install bittorrent or bittorrent-gui, i'm assuming you only installed the command line version in which case install bittorrent-gui and bit torrent will appear within internet in your applications menu.

You can use;

locate appname

providing your database is up to date; updatedb (may take a while).

Otherwise you can do; find / -name bittorrent
The / in the above will search from / downwards into all sub-dir's. You might want to narrow it down to /usr/share or whatever
