rtorrent Front-ends

hello;
im somewhat of a noob to Linux.
recently i got rtorrent and libtorrent compiled from source, and everything runs great...
however rtorrent would be 10x nicer if it had a gui/front-end.
i did some research and found that wtorrent is the best looking and feature rich gui, so id like to install it.
see it here: http://www.wtorrent-project.org/trac/
but i have had zero luck so-far.
could someone aid in a user friendly guide for installing it on ubuntu 8.04 ?
(yes i know they have install instructions, but they are almost a different language to me :rolleyes:

thanks,
eric

well still i think you should give it a try!

Did you get anywhere with this, I might give it a go tonight.

no i gave up.
no need for a frontend anymore
anyway;
putty + screen + rtorrent ftw.

Yeah screen is nice, however, I have experienced some lag with screen when I used it in the past. ( Might be just me though. )

Has always works flawlessly for me.
Use ctrl+n to more screens, don't just start multiple instances.
