Unable run uTorrent with Wine - Ubuntu 9.10
 

I've been trying to install uTorrent via wine recently, however the following error message keeps popping up-

"It seems uTorrent is already running, but not responding.
Please close all uTorrent applications and try again."

So far I've been unable to find an existing solution to this problem.

The only reason I'm trying to install uTorrent is to use the scheduling function, to allow downloads during my off-peak times.

So if anyone can suggest a solution, or an alternative program which has a scheduling function, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

You cannot install any of the new versions of uTorrent. It is a known issue.

Look under HOWTO; it shows the error and how to work around it.

You are not the only one with this wine/uTorrent issue.. it seems to be a bug in some version of uTorrent

Kellemes - Yeah it was the 1.8.5 version of uTorrent that was causing the problems. Installing 1.8.3 then updating to 1.8.5 resolved it. Thanks a ton!

Problem resolved.
