Hi,
I am looking for a torrent client which has magnet link feature and which
will run under Slackware 12.2.

Any suggestions?

Hi, I like Deluge

You could check it

I'm using qbittorrent (available on slackbuilds.org -- don't forget to change slackware version before searching).
However it seems you would need to install qt4 on your 12.2, which might be overkill.

azureus?

A recent enough version of rtorrent will use Magnet links fine:

Magnet URIs in rTorrent

rtorrent can be found on slackbuilds.org.

Hi,
A small feedback from my side. I followed this link to compile rtorrent 0.8.9 - the first version with a support for magnets. I compiled on Slackware 13.1. Everything went fine. Of course I didn't follow Debian related issues. SImply downloaded and ran the the provided build script for rtorrent.

I have a small installation issues - cause now I have two different versions of rtorrent. Note that the script doesn't really install rtorrent system-wide. It simply creates ~/bin ~/lib directories and places there all executable and libraries. So you can run the script as a common user.

For interested - the sources provide some enhancements - like coloring and many others. I am not really interested cause I always run "screen rtorrent" - to push rtorrent into background.
