Any help for this problem in linux would be greatly appreciated.
    Are you firewalled? Router? Did you forwarded 'em bittorrent ports? If you did, are you sure your ISP isn't blocking bittorrent?

    You don't do this in linux. http://www.portforward.com/english/r...outerindex.htm <-- Search for your router and go to the part where it helps you enable BT ports.

    Re: HOWTO: How do I install BitTorrent?

    Can't get Azureus running right on 64-bit Dapper.

    Bittorrent is working, but slowly. Normally my download rates are around 300 kB/s, but it's crawling at 30 kB/s right now.

    Any help appreciated.

    Re: HOWTO: How do I install BitTorrent?

    I receive this error when I try to install.

    Package libwxgtk2.4 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
    This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
    is only available from another source
    E: Package libwxgtk2.4 has no installation candidate

    Now i have made many stupid mistakes. So it may be something dumb. Someone mentioned turning on the Universe repo or something and i dont know how to do that.

    Re: HOWTO: How do I install BitTorrent?

    so like everyone said in this dead thread...

    I installed bittorrent and Ktorrent and tried opening a top gear torrent... in bittorrent I get a "client installs banned" warning, or something along those lines...

    and in ktorrent the download "stalls" before it starts..

    Download (or create) a .torrent file anywhere on you drive (possibly desktop). Then right-click on file and go to Properties. Then choose "Open With" tab and select the program you want to open that type of file.
