BitTorrent help in Linux
Hi, I hate windows, and Ubuntu is so awesome I think I may be able to not use windows for good.... oh joy... But I need bit torrent and there are no guides on how to get it working in Linux. If anyone could give me a step by step guide (or point me toward one) on how to do this you will helping one more copy of windows to be left unused forever

Download the bittorrent client. I use bittornado and you can get it here:
http://www.bittornado.com/download.html Unpack it: # tar xjvf BitTornado-xxx The cd into the new directory and read the installer instructions. Probably just: ./configure make make install It requires python and wxpython for the gui. Then you can launch it doing: btdownloadgui.py whatever.torrent Check the settings to make sure the ports the client is using is open on your router and or firewall and you should be good to go. |
Same deal but using Azureus linux client. Fast & self-updating. Preference really I suppose.
