utorrent will work with wine but it all depends on what software you have installed on your server.
if you just want a torrent client to work over ssh try rtorrent (http://polishlinux.org/apps/p2p/rtorrent-console-p2p/)

You should try the 'installing utorrent on leeware' guide...

If he had to ask this question, rtorrent would probably be a pain in the ass for him.

ctorrent is another good client

As long as you're ok with the command line.

You can install uTorrent with Wine... Works fine

KTorrent is a clone of UTorrent for Linux.

Make sure you get a Debian or Ubuntu based Linux box if you are new. Even with yum, RedHat-based distros like Fedora, RHEL, or CentOS are a pain in the ass to install all the dependencies for Wine (like X, if you have a text-only VPS). Also be aware that most VPS boxes have screwed up source lists which make it difficult to add a lot of new software (like what is required by X)... some screwing around in config files is necessary which may not be good for a Linux newbie.

I don't understand what you said. Why do VPSs have screwed up source lists ? The host provider modified them ?
Even if they are modified it's easy to create a new list with original mirrors

There's Utorrent for linux now if I'm not mistaken
So, you had to bump a thread whose starter hasn't logged in since:
22-12-08
To post something there's already another thread for.

The utorrent for linux is in the workings, but try deluge as you wait. I don't miss a thing in deluge that I used in utorrent.

TorrentFlux-b4rt (http://tf-b4rt.berlios.de/) is great too, especially if you want something that can be remotely administered. Personally unless it's released as FOSS and GPL'd, I'm not that excited about a uTorrent release for *nix. There's plenty of decent software around already.
