Hey guys Ive been trying to run apps such as utorrent and rapidownload and I always get the same error message.

[/home/babu/Desktop/utorrent.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/babu/Desktop/utorrent.exe or
/home/babu/Desktop/utorrent.exe.zip, and cannot find /home/babu/Desktop/utorrent.exe.ZIP, period.

Has this happen to any of you?

Your OS is trying to open it with the archive manager. You have to tell it to open with wine.

Run the command with "wine" before it. ex:

wine utorrent.exe

Also, you can right click on the file, go to properties, and set what to open with; select "Wine, windows program loader"
