When I used to use Windows I love uTorrent as it downloaded much faster than the standard methods. So I wondered is there a Torrent for Ubuntu? And could somebody give me a guide on how to install it please?

Can I install a client and then just move it to the HDD?If so, how can I find where the app is installed? I really think that synaptic should show me where the hell it installed the application.
View 5 Replies View Relatedi would really like to install Natty from scratch (i always prefer clean installs than upgrade) , but i am seeding 1500 torrents in transmission most of them sorted in directories, and manually adding them again is a big big pain.and will take alot of time.is there a way i can keep the config file or whatever so i dont have to manually add them all? so that i just add it in the new transmission folder and all torrents appear.i assume one way is to keep the /home folder?? but then what if i want a complete clean new install and this is the only thing i want to keep from the old installation?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been looking to get some torrent downloads running on school servers, but I obviously can't install a torrent client because I don't have root (and by extent, can't run anything requiring root privileges). Servers are running various versions of Red Hat (at least the x86_64 ones are, I don't want to recompile if I don't have to). Google has failed me thus far.
View 13 Replies View RelatedThis is something that should be easy. This is what I want to do:
1. I give an RSS url, a reges, and a download location to a torrent client.
2. The client then automatically refreshes that feed url every X minutes, and once a item shows up in the feed that matches my regex, it downloads it to a folder I specified.
Yet every few months, going back to at least 2007, I attempt to get this working in ubuntu, but I can never do it. Well, it's that time of the year again, I'm trying to get this working, and am having no luck. This is what I've tried so far:
1. Deluged - apprently older versions had a flexget plugin, but the latest version of deluged (the version that comes with lucid) does it completely different. Apparently you have to use this thing called "FlexGet", which is about the polar opposite of easy to use. I can't tell if you're supposed to install a deluged plugin for flexget, or a flexget plugin for deluged. Or no plug in at all. Flexget has a yaml config system which is way more complicated than it needs to be. All I have an RSS url, a regex, and a download location. What else do you want?
I also tried a tutorial on how to do get flexget working with deluged, but it was about 20 steps and it wanted me to do all sorts of crap like adding daemons to /etc/ini.d which is way way way way more involved that I want it to be. An RSS url, a regex and a download location, people.
2. qtorrent - This doesn't work at all. I added the url for my feed but qtorrent doesn't do anything. It just shows nothing. I know my RSS url is correct because wget gets it fine.
3. utorrent under wine - Does not work. I get all sorts of UI errors. It will list the torrents, but all of them 404 when trying to download. I tried grabbing a few of the torrent urls via wget and they all download fine.
4. I also tried out a older version of utorent - Does not work either. When I run the program, it wants to install to program files. I let it install, but when I navigate to my program files folder and run the program the installer runs again Great. Must be a wine problem.
I haven't tried vuze yet, but unless someone can tell me that they have it 100% working, I'm not going to waste any more time with it until the next cycle of me trying to get automatic RSS torrent download working...
One of the updates (Karmic) this morning listed the following:
Update
transmission-common
lightweight BitTorrent client (common files)
Description
Transmission is a simple BitTorrent client. It features a very simple, intuitive interface (gui and command-line) on top on an efficient, cross-platform back-end. This package contains the common files for the different transmission versions.
Changes
Changes for the versions:
1.75-0ubuntu2
1.75-0ubuntu2.2
Version 1.75-0ubuntu2.2:
* SECURITY UPDATE: fix arbitrary file overwrite via crafted torrent file
- debian/patches/CVE-2010-0012.patch: adjust metainfo.c to check for '../'
- CVE-2010-0012
So, I employed the update. Problem is, I do not see this as an installed application. TRANSMISSION is not listed in any submenu under the Applications menu OR Add/Remove.
Just went to download 8.04.4 and to use the torrent. Guess what, the links on the page point to 8.04.3 torrent download which gets you a 404 error. To get by this, go into the address window of your browser and change each 8.04.3 to 8.04.4 and you will get the torrent.
Just thought I would pass this on if anyone was trying to get it via the torrent. If anyone is watching, maybe the links should be updated on the download pages.
The home page is not getting up, their bandwidth must be getting creamed.
Anyway, does anyone know a direct link to a x86 ubuntu 10.04?
Both client and server.
Does anyone have the torrent url for the final 10.04 LTS? I don't seem to be able to find it......
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am interested in downloading ubuntu 10.04 on a cd for a friend. I want to use a torrent to get the file so I can seed after the download. When I go to the alternate download page located here: http:[url]....It gives me multiple options on which torrent to download:
ubuntu-10.04-alternate-amd64.iso.torrent
ubuntu-10.04-alternate-i386.iso.torrent
ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso.torrent
ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent
ubuntu-10.04-server-amd64.iso.torrent
ubuntu-10.04-server-i386.iso.torrent
I am confused as to which I should download.I know that amd64 is for the amd architecture and i386 is for intel, but what is the difference between alternate and desktop?

View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there a torrent for the netbook edition of ubuntu.
I'm running it in VirtualBox because I only want it to faff around with, I tried the full desktop version but it was a bit slow so I thought I'd give the netbook version a go. (I'm on a laptop)
I'm asking this because the download is very slow.
I'm on a 20mb connection and it starts off around 400k but then goes down to 30 so it will take hours.
Which one do you guys use and why? I'm too used to Utorrent on windows, it's light and simple. I tried Ktorrent on ubuntu but didn't like it. Transmission doesn't go as fast a Utorrent. I'm not someone who uses these things too often as I use them to download big distros like Debian, OpenSuse and some other good freebies. But I'm wondering if there's anything as simple and fast as Utorrent for Ubuntu or if there's some tweaks I should do that I'm not aware of.

View 6 Replies View RelatedHow to make a private torrent on Transmission? Back when I was on windows I used to do it on utorrent. I remember that you had to put [URL] for the announce url. I figured it would be the same thing on Transmission, but it's not working. Did I skip something, or do something wrong? Or is there a whole different way to do it on Transmission? It's been a while since I've done this.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI couldn't find an answer myself. So, the problem is that every single bittorrent program I tried downloads files I checked to ignore so I know this is not a program related issue. For example, there are 2 pictures in a torrent, I select only one but in the end I have both downloaded.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've just replaced my Windows XP for Ubuntu on my desktop computer and I'm now looking for a torrent client that has some useful features that I miss from uTorrent, such as:
- Queuing torrents
- Setting bandwidth priority for multiple files within a torrent
- Auto-shutdown when finished
- DHT
- Bandwidth control
So, my experience with the upgrade. Going from 9.10 64-bit to 10.4 64-bit. Tried to be a decent, sharing sort and downloaded the LiveCD for 64-bit from torrent. No problem. Didnt have any blank CDs handy, but I had a 1GB USB thumb drive that I have used to install other distros that I wanted to test, so used unetbootin to make my installation on. No problem.
LiveCD tried to run, but hung with a black screen; no blinking cursor, nothing. Problem. Restart, go back to my functioning system, and re-create the LiveCD on the thumb drive using USB Startup Disc Creator. No problem. Reboot. Monitor went into standby and never came out. Problem. Decided to give up on the LiveCD. Downloaded the alternate-install CD for 64-bit and put it on the thumb drive. No problem.
Installation went fine. No major hang-ups at this point. Had the grub_puts problem, even though I specified the correct place, and so had to reinstall grub, which fixed that.
Although it is still early in the process for me, my main (relatively minor) gripe is the same one I always have: Although Linux seems to be able to tell a lot about the hardware (through what I assume is either asking the hardware about it capabilities or getting info from the BIOS, perhaps), why can it not tell that my keyboard numlock key is supposed to be ON? My BIOS is set to turn it on at boot. My username and password both have numbers in them, and it is convenient for me to have the numlock on at boot and remain on.
I fully realize that there are many users of notebooks/netbooks that having this setting ON for default is a problem. I dont want it ON as default. I want a simple way to change the setting. Ive seen complaints and questions about this since at least Edgy (there may be older postings, but I havent needed to research back). System>Preferences>Keyboard can let me do so many things with my keyboard - except this, apparently.
I'm in a hotel right now and apparently they got it blocked so that I can't download torrents or p2p. I plug straight into the lan. I don't know enough about networking. I know that torrent programs need access to certain ports to work. So is theyre firewall blocking the port? I've heard a proxy server can get around this problem for me. I don't know anything about proxy servers or how to set them up. I'm also relativly new to Ubuntu / Linux but I've already learned a great deal about it so if any of you guys could take the time to give me a quick walk through of what I need to do in order to start torrenting again
