    END OF THE BIG IMPORTANT EDIT

    After looking for and trying all (native+gtk) bittorrent clients I could find (and get to compile), I found tribler (http://www.tribler.org/) witch seems to do all I need from it, and , well, I like it better than the others.
    It seems to do more than just bittorrent, something about social sharing I don't understand much (maybe when I'll try this more I'll understand).
    from the website
    With Tribler, we are creating software for video file sharing that has a basic understanding of human friendships, of user tastes in content, and of Internet connectivity between users. Currently, Tribler is not production-level software yet, but we do have a fully functional proof-of-concept.
    [...]
    Features that we are adding include:
    * Amazon-like recommendations to get interesting files
    * Doubling the download speed by using the upload capacity of friends
    * Real-time P2P file sharing with P2P video streaming
    * Showing the locations of other downloaders of the same content with city-level accuracy on a world map
    Anyway, take a look at the official page, they have a lot of information there.

    And, of course, I made a package for it (that's why I started this thread) it can be downloaded here:
    EDIT
    The older version doesn't work anymore. ere's the lastest version, use this one instead. http://membres.lycos.fr/bou3ou/packa...untu3_i386.deb
    /EDIT

    And if you want to use the web interface, you must configure it to use the loopback interface (it crashed on me when I made automatic) and access it using something like phpABC witch can be found here :
    http://www.swiftlytilting.com/phpabc/
    just put it in your webserver and go there and fill the informations you configured the server with.

    well that's it ..
