Ok so i got a server from layeredtech thinking it was windows based, but was actually linux. Now im having real problems setting this up. I have putty logged into my server and went to dl utorrent to my server but it was a dead link and had the 404 error. Im a total noob to this and have googled till my eyes bled. If anybody can help me step by step id be cery very grateful.

have u looked into the tutourial section also what type linux is it maybe i can help a little

also if you can go log onto your terminal you can upload utorrent from there from your comp or do the same with winscp and put it in the folder there

follow instructions as if it was your server it cant hurt i found this it may help KDE Packaging Project
This project intends to promote the use of KDE and KDE-based applications on/for Fedora™ Core and Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® (1) through the creation and distribution of unofficial core and 3rd-party KDE RPM packages.
This project is not sponsored or endorsed by either Red Hat® or the Fedora™ Project

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RPM Repositories
We have several RPM repositories dedicated to KDE:
stable:
The stable repository contains the latest core (KDE 3.5.5) and addon packages, which have undergone a reasonable amount of testing and found to be reliable.
testing :
The testing repository contains packages that are currently under development. These are what most kde-redhat developers use day-to-day. You're a little on the edge with these, but you usually get the absolute latest versions of most (stable) KDE software.
unstable:
The unstable repository contains bleeding edge, untested, sometimes pre-release, or alpha-quality software. You've been warned. (-:
Please note that on Fedora™ Core, kde-redhat packages depend on 2 external repositories: Fedora™ Extras and rpm.livna.org.
GPG key/signed packages
All kde-redhat RPMS have been gpg signed. To allow rpm to check this signature on installing any packages, you'll need to download and install gpg-pubkey-ff6382fa-3e1ab2ca
apt and auto-import of gpg keys
Most apt packages will auto-import keys placed into /etc/apt/gpg/, so
( cd /etc/apt/gpg; wget http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/gpg-pubkey-ff6382fa-3e1ab2ca)
Manually importing gpg key
For rpm-4.1 and newer:
rpm --import http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/gpg-pubkey-ff6382fa-3e1ab2ca
For older rpm releases :
# (as root)
wget http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/gpg-pubkey-ff6382fa-3e1ab2ca
gpg --import gpg-pubkey-ff6382fa-3e1ab2ca
yum
Download
Fedora Core: kde.repo
RedHat Enterprise (and compatibles: CentOS, Scientific Linux, etc...) kde.repo
and drop it in /etc/yum.repos.d/
Note to x86_64 users: You may have to enable both x86_64 and i386 repos.
To install, a simple
yum install qt kdelibs kdebase
yum update
ought to fetch and install the packages for you.
To keep up to date, you can periodically run
yum update
on your system as well.
apt
To use the kde-redhat repositories with apt, download kde-redhat.list, substituting all occurances of RELEASE in that file corresponding to your version of Fedora Core or Red Hat (Enterprise) Linux (1), and install to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/.
