A good BitTorrent client?

[ZelasMetallium]

I was quite the fan of BitComet on my Windows system and would like to keep my torrents coming on this system but am very unhappy with the basic BitTorrent.

I've heard of Azuerus but it doesn't appear on my 'Add Applications' list so I have no idea how to install it. How can I do that and/or what's another program that makes BitTorrent a bit smoother to use?

I would really recommend azureus, and it's easier to install than you think. You can use automatix, following this guide: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=80295 , and install azureus from there, or you can follow the guide on the wiki: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AzureusHowTo...=%28azureus%29

Azureus is probably the best all-torrents-in-one-window client for linux. Just go into Synaptic Package Manager and make sure you have j2re installed before hand, it's needed for Azureus to run, then follow the above.

I recommend against Automatix personally, but that's just my view.

I personally just use BitTornado, but each torrent is still a seperate window, no queueing, but that's fine with me...

The wiki guide explains how to install the java plugins so don't need to worry about doing that separately.

Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger)

1.Add universe and multiverse, if they have not already been done. If you do not know how, see AddingRepositoriesHowto

2. Install the following programs j2re1.4 libcommons-cli-java liblog4j1.2-java libseda-java libswt-gtk-3.1-java

$ sudo apt-get install j2re1.4 libcommons-cli-java liblog4j1.2-java libseda-java libswt-gtk-3.1-java

1. Download the following [WWW] http://ftp.egr.msu.edu/debian/pool/c....0.2-1_all.deb
2. Open a terminal and type dpkg -i azureus_2.4.0.2-1_all.deb



I'm to that last step but it says:

"kendra@kendra:~$ dpkg -i azureus_2.4.0.2-1_all.deb
dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege"

So I sudo'd it and got:

"kendra@kendra:~$ sudo dpkg -i azureus_2.4.0.2-1_all.deb
dpkg: error processing azureus_2.4.0.2-1_all.deb (--install):
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
azureus_2.4.0.2-1_all.deb
kendra@kendra:~$"


Now what?

[ubuntuman001]

you have to first go to the directory where the file is. for example if it's on the desktop, in the terminal you would type cd /home/kendra/Desktop, and then it would look like this: kendra@kendra:~/home/kendra/Desktop$
then you do the sudo dpkg -i azureus_2.4.0.2-1_all.deb command

Sweet, that seems to have worked. Thank you mucho!

Wait a second . . . maybe you can help me again. I was setting it up and know nothing about ports in Linux. I got this:

Testing port 21016 ... NAT Error

I think azerus is a bad idea compared to utorrent although extremely similar. one of the arguments i've read recently mentions processing power. azerious is way in excess compared to utorrent, but see for yourself.

Umm . . . by posting on the Ubuntu forum I thought it was obvious I meant I need a program for Ubuntu. <_< It seems uTorrent's Windows only.
