torrent manager

jbumgar

I can't get bittornado or xule to work. Bittornado always popsup my home/jim folder asking for a torrent file. Of course I don't have one so I've given up on it working. At one time I xmule working but now it doesn't. I've uninstalled it and reinstalled it with synaptic 3x but it still won't work. When I click on connect it just freezes up. So is there a better torrent apps out there that works with dapper?

Ive used 2 clients so far, Tribler ( ABC-based ) and qBittorrent ( http://www.qbittorrent.org/ ). Both work fine in dapper, but i like qBittorrent more.

Consider utorrent. Yes, it runs on wine, but minimal configuration of wine and light/fast client.

How do you make uTorrent the default torrent client? Install was easy and works great but I have to save torrents to my desktop and then open them via uTorrent. Any way to simplify this?

Give Deluge a go.

Try Deluge or Ktorrent if you want something that is uTorrent like and runs natively on Linux, or try transmission if you want something that has less "control"/tweaking involved.

He doesn't want a new torrent manager, he just wants to set uTorrent as the default. I can't tell you how though, as it isn't in preffered applications.

I suggest AZUREUS!

I don't think there is a way to set a wine app as a default app...correct me if I'm wrong though.

Personally I recommend either Deluge for a newer torrent user or Azureus for more options and customization. Transmission and ktorrent work well also.

Problem with utorrent is they've sold out

I find deluge more than adequate and ktorrent, transmission and qt torrent are also meant to be good. Why muck around with wine when there are adequate open source clients?
