i really need a torrent client for linux
utorrent+wine and azureus are excluded beacuse utorrent is crashing at high speeds, and azureus when i hash check large torrente (over 20GB)
the client must include the option to make torrents :), and can work on ubuntu :)
thanks in advance,
barba

Opera's built in client might do.
if you go to add/remove programs in ubuntu and search for torrent or bittorrent you should get a list of suitable apps. Personally i use ktorrent, and i'd rate it as somewhere between ok - good. Its not quite as nicely laid out as utorrent imo.
i also know theres a client called qtorrent and i think theres one called rtorrent?

You can try BitTornado and Deluge.
In Ubuntu I use Azureus and it works fine for me.

I recommend Deluge. Great client, the only drawback is that it's not officially supported by most private trackers, however I've found it to work fine on most.

rTorrent is good!
If you don't want it to run in terminal, take a look at kTorrent or Transmission

When I use Linux, I use Ktorrent, in my opinion its by far the best, others you can use are Deluge, Qtorrent y Rtorrent..

if rtorrent would support fuse, it would be the best. though if you use it with native unix volumes, it rocks.

Why not use CrossOver Office 6 instead of Wine and run utorrent through that ? I run Mirc & Utorrent & MYOB through CXO 6 on an Ubuntu based distribution Simply MEPIS 6.5 and all run perfectly CXO does a far better job of emulation than wine ever could.And yes CXO is a commercial app but then this is a file sharing forum isn't it ? It came off a torrent for me :whistling
kTorrent is amazing! :D It has a nifty webui feature as well. Oh and torrentflux tends to be banned in the majority of torrent sites.

Yes, it costs money, and while I pretty enjoy stealing microsoft's shit, with linux it's different, when you get the whole OS free.

I suggest that u use Deluge. It's clean, does what it suppose to do. Easy to configure. And overall a nice program. Used different torrent programs before. But Deluge is just the best of torrent programs for linux out there.

Agreed, deluge is great and getting better. Maybe it used to be banned from private trackers, but all of the sites I currently use accept the latest stable version. It's very low memory/cpu intensive, even with 100s of torrents all seeding. I feel like it has all the important features down. The WebUi plugin is critical if you want to remotely manage torrents.
I used rtorrent awhile back. It's great, but I found the command line interface a bit annoying. It limits the features a bit, but mostly I can't remember all of the keyboard shortcuts and had to regularly look them up.

Deluge is my choice too. On OS X there's a nice client named Transmission too, which also has a version for linux (ubuntu), so maybe it's worth a try too :)
I used to use Azureus before I was converted to Deluge, mostly because of the java backend Azureus uses .. it's so g*ddamn heavy on the system..
Hope you find what you're looking for, and happy sharing ;)
