Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Find Bittorrent Downloads?
Nov 13, 2010
I swear Ubuntu's download pages are getting harder and harder to find things in.I help with a local LUG that holds a Clinic for Linux newbies. One of my tasks is to maintain all the latest popular distros and all the versions thereof. usually recommend Ubuntu to newcomers, but people bring all kinds of computers, many of which need Lubuntu or Xubuntu, yet others want Kubuntu, and on and on. I need all the flavors of Ubuntu.I prefer to download by torrent because it is faster with my connection. I found a page with torrents for 10.04 and 10.10 for Ubuntu desktop, alternate and server, but I'll be darned if I can find torrents for Netbook, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Xubuntu and others.

I am currently using Debian Lenny and am having problems with my pptp vpn client. I can use the following software for as long as I like without my pptp vpn connection dropping out:
(1) iceweasel
(2) icedove
(3) gtk-gnutella
If a use a bittorrent client, however, my pptp vpn connection drops out within a few minutes. I have tried these bittorrent clients: transmission, deluge, tixati. Enabling or disabling the firewall makes no difference.I have searched pptpclient.sourceforge.net and Debian User Forums but have not been able to find any suggestions on settings to change in a bittorrent client.

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - the Lucid Lynx
Dual Boot with Windwos Vista
Level - beginner (started today 07/0810)
I have just given Linux a try for the first time and so far its not proving to be a good experience. I have so far just tried to install a couple of basic programs I am familiar with and ones suggested by Lifehacker.I wanted to install Tweetdeck, which meant installing Adobe Air. I duly downloaded Adobe Air but it then says I need to choose an application to open it. Assuming that the bin file was a zip file I looked in the software centre and found 7zip. Told it to load that but then couldn't find where it was. Its not listed in the Applications drop down (top right) so I found 'search for a file' and entered *7zip* to be shown 5 files. All but one appear to be a form of image file the other (7zip.desktop) isn't an exe either. Double clicking on it just gets me the following in something called gedit.
Name=7zip
Comment=7zip compression/uncompression tool
Terminal=false
Type=Application
[code].....
I then gave up and used google to find the program and download it, but just came across the same problem. Why oh why is there not some default program already loaded for unzipping files? How can I find 7Zip (I have already looked in the bin folder on the system drive but nothing there) and run it to tell it to make itself the default for unzipping files?

I download cs 1.6 and when i click double on it it says:
Archive: /home/dzoni/Downloads/cstrike_16_1.2_v42_nonsteam_ZCP.exe.exe
[/home/dzoni/Downloads/cstrike_16_1.2_v42_nonsteam_ZCP.exe.exe]
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /home/dzoni/Downloads/cstrike_16_1.2_v42_nonsteam_ZCP.exe.exe or
/home/dzoni/Downloads/cstrike_16_1.2_v42_nonsteam_ZCP.exe.exe.zip, and cannot find
/home/dzoni/Downloads/cstrike_16_1.2_v42_nonsteam_ZCP.exe.exe.ZIP, period.
I can't believe I am trying to make my computer better with this o.s. and I cant install anything I can't unrar files I'm down.

We are a small company running half a dozen servers in data center.Recently we got charged heavily for over-utilizing the data transfer. So,we are looking for a way to find - uploads and downloads per ip and port basis.We have mixed environment (Win2008/Ubuntu) so the tool should be able to work for both.I am not sure if MRTG provides per port(i.e. application) based analysis.

Well Ubuntu 10.10 desktop edition looks great and I am way over the plain old xp, plus Ubuntu is safer and sexier. I have downloaded 10.10 desktop and it saves as a .iso, then when I open it it runs my cd burner. I have it saved on a CD and my portable hard drive. I can not run the .iso or use the wubi. I have extracted the .iso and tried running the usb creator program but it does not work. Does anyone have a solution other than buying the ubuntu cd?

I am new to linux in general and have an older sysytem that I successfully partitioned to run ubuntu, kubuntu, and windoze. I was a casual mac user before thius and am used to packages--so I have no exp. installing tarballs. I am trying to install xampp and successfully downloaded it, but now am at a loss as to what to do--nothing seems to be working. I am using firefox which for some reason is not saving to downloads even though that is what I have set in pref. Is there a way I can use apt-get for this (although my understanding of that isn't much better. I can't seem to find the relevant information in documentation.

I'm using 10.04.2, and I find that whenever I'm trying update (whether using synaptic, or command-line apt-get), the package download starts off fine, but after downloading a few files (usually only 4 or 5), the next partial (ongoing) downloads become corrupt, all the remaining downloads stay in the partial folder and finally apt-get gives a size mismatch error .I'm forced to watch the update progress the entire time and wait for the downloads to corrupt (at this point the progress bar stops at say, "Downloading file 4 of 70" but the details show subsequent files are being downloaded)the update process and clean the /var/cache/apt/archives/partial folder (NOT the archives folder, or all the packages will have to be downloaded again). Then I restart the update and it picks up after the last successfully downloaded .deb.
Effectively, every such iteration downloads 3-5 .deb files successfully, and corrupts the remaining. Needless to say, if I'm upgrading 50 packages, it gets really frustratingI faced this problem even on new installations on my system as well as a friend's. Lucid, Maverik, Natty all have the same problem. By new installations, I mean on the very first boot, I setup the network (I'm behind a proxy server in a university) and that's it. I tried Linux Mint and it had the same problem.

There is some issue with the latest version of LinuxDC++ (version: 1.2.0~pre1~bzr Core version: 0.75). I have upgraded to the latest version a few days back from launchpad repos due to the frequent crashes and system hang-ups. My complete and incomplete downloads folder are same. While my download was going on, LinuxDC++ deleted all the files from the downloads folder.
After about half an hour of tweaking, I updated my database using updatedb, and found my files in ~/.dc++/Filelists/anantwqqwe.BMIU2NFCFXB7ERTSG62PRSQPRJIN63A56EEGO6Q . What does that supposed to mean and why its doing this way? This is the second time this has happened to me, the last time I was unable to locate the deleted files on my system and I suppose they were not there. I use 64-bit Ubuntu 10.10(maverick).

I'm trying to upgrade to F11, and I'm having trouble. I attempted to download the x86_64 DVD .iso image by bit torrent, and it seemed okay, but when I started the installation the DVD failed the initial integrity check. I tried a second time with another DVD and got the same result.I tried running md5sum on the .iso image, but the response did not match what was in the CHECKSUM file that came with the .iso image -- should it? I tried downloading a live DVD image for comparison and found the same result - the response to the md5sum command did not match what was listed in the CHECKSUM file.Should these checksums match, or am I comparing apples and oranges? I thought the bit torrent client was supposed to check the files, but I'm not sure about that.

I'm new to linux and try to make a ubuntu home server.1.One of my concerns is that i can't figure out how to use bittorrent (or any other torrent download application) from shell. (i have the desktop package installed but i don't wanne get used with that - or should i start the downloads from there but if I close the gdm (gdm stop) will my bittorrent stop as well?)

p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }a:link { } Is it possible to use Transmission BitTorrent like limewire?
If so how? I am not familiar with terms like associated 'torrent file and 'tracker' websites'' The help files at the Transmission website assume a high level of preexisting knowledge. Is there a way to learn this program starting from scratch?

I don't know what exactly I did to wreck the functionality but something did Deluge in. I've purged the configuration files and libraries and reinstalled them three times over and every time in terminal that I start it using deluge-gtk I get the following output:
Code:
ryan@ryan-PC-Ubuntu:~$ deluge-gtk
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/deluge-gtk", line 9, in <module>
load_entry_point('deluge==1.2.2', 'console_scripts', 'deluge-gtk')()

I want BitTorrent client, similar to uTorrent.
1. I do not want crapware like Deluge or Vuze, who creates unwanted/unselected files and after downloading I must delete all of them.
2. I do not want to use WINE.

How to install the BitTorrent peer to peer program? I've downloaded the software, looked around, and cannot find what should be obvious as to how to install and use it. Please keep it simple, as I am an amateur and quite new to Linux and Ubuntu. I'm installing onto Ubuntu 9.04 on my desktop pc. If you suggest using and installing something equivalent, the instructions need to be simple and complete.

using fedora 9 i've problems getting bittorent to work. i have an external kerio firewall but my messages seem not to get thrue. I read about port forwarding, as a way to speed up bittorent I interprete that as bundling the port series 6881 till 6999 to ferdora:6881 so all the ports are channeld to the bittorent machine and 1 port.(tcp and Udp)
that how I did set it up, but i seem not to get a lot of throughput i guess Maybe 1kb per week, I do not know if this is what is seen as a slow bittorent.... on the firewall i see a lot of messages running arround but nothing seems to advance
what can I do, verify to get this running. (I temporarly switched off fedora's firewall( internal) is there a way to structuraly test bittorent? is my forwarding rule correct? (input multiple ports to single port?

I know, that this thread is old one, but I am having the same issue. It does not seem to me to be the problem of single torrent. It is more the way how much do I use my connection. If I have only 1-2 torrents, everything is ok. If I have 10, I get this problem. It is also followed by aprox. 30 secs of no internet connection. I use Deluge for downloading and my limits are set like this:
max connections: 200
max upload: 300 KiB/s
max upload slots: 5
max connection attempts per sec: 20
The connection outage is really annoying.

when I just purged and reinstalled my Torrent client due to configuration issues, the program still knew what U/D ratio I had before purging. Also, I read that individual trackers also keep a record of a user's history, which seems likely as my client takes some time to report it to them when closing. Thus, I am wondering how this statistic is kept. How is BT able to identify a single machine, maybe in a private network, or even a single user on it? Unfortunately, Google only points me to sites telling me how to cheat programs and / or trackers, no matter what I search for, which is not what I want. So, could anyone tell me in quick words or point me to a site explaining what the underlying mechanics of the system are?
Furthermore, are there possibilities to adapt the ratio generation to your bandwidth circumstances? Unfortunately, as most people in Germany, I am connected via ADSL, which allows for great download rates, but only minimal upload, which is why it takes me forever to equalize what I downloaded. Is this problem thought of in the concept of BT?
I am in no way interested in cheating, so please don't mistake this for an immoral question - if I'm stuck with this situation, fine. Either way, I would still like to read about the technical concepts. (In an plain way, if possible, scientific English is quite hard for me to understand.) [I am aware that this is not a "problem" with software, but seeing how BT is quite popular with Linux users
