uTorrent in Linux. (Debian)

kTorrent is still a little buggy/feature-poor. I guess the buggy part could be from using a KDE app in Gnome, but it lacks a lot of basic features (setting speeds on individual torrents). I've switched to Azureus for now.

utorrent works great via wine.

linux is not so good compared with win sys with respect to convenience

My Linux system works fine. In fact, my windows has spit its dummy out and won't activate, even though its fully legal, all i did was change the graphics card and add a HDD, I've now decided to just remove the windows, and stick with the Linux.

Linux is just different, once you get used to it, its 10x more convenient. IMHO.

Windows Xp is a Evergreen os of windows platform as compared to linux

so utorrent works with windows is very fast.

If you dual-boot Windows and Linux on one machine, you can also use the same utorrent on both, so you can continue seeding when you boot into the other OS.

You just need a partition with read-and-write access under both OS, like fat32 or ext2 using the fs-driver.org driver for Windows. Then you set the driver letter for that partition in Wine to the same letter it has on Windows, and put utorrent (along with its configuration files in the same directory) and all .torrent files and data files of the torrents on that partition.
