I dunno anything about Linux, but rTorrent works on most trackers and is used for Linux seedboxes IIRC...

Someone give this man BMTV.... :)

i dunno how to install win via SSH, and it wouldnt do any good seeing how uTorrent is not Text-Based. I'm using SSH so it much be text based :|

if you are running Ubuntu you can get Azureus from the repositories.

sounds like it doesn't have the ability to block peers that send bad data.
be careful. this may result in huge downloads and could mess up your ratio.

I myself never ever use torrentflux anymore. It kills any server because of buggy bittornado. Try this one: http://www.thewulong.com/w3btorrent/?page=torrents
at least it's more server friendly. btw you may feel some problems with your browser that's because of AJAXified script!

Try uTorrent via wine or kTorrent.

rtorrent+libtorrent is a easypeasy to set up. it took me about 20 minutes to do it the first time on ubuntu.

i used this guide - How to Install the Latest Version of rTorrent - A guide for installing the latest stable version of rTorrent on Ubuntu. - Softpedia (http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-to-Install-the-Latest-Version-of-rTorrent-51166.shtml)

that link isnt for the latest stable version though, all you need to do is change the version numbers to the latest.

it couldnt be easier.

once installed you have to learn to use rtorrent, which takes a bit of getting used to, but its really very straightforward after a little while.

you also need to learn how to configure rtorrent by setting up the .rtorrent.rc file - just google for that, theres loads of info out there.

you can also try azureus but its not the latest version in the repositories, so will be classed as a banned client on a lot of private trackers (BMTV for example).

i tell you what chewey, if you invite me to RevTT, i'll set up your seedbox for you. ;)
