Can't install Utorrent

Asked by Josh Law

I downloaded Utorrent and opened the tar.gz file and cannot figure out what to do from there. there is a file called utserver which I think could be the .exe but I don't have the program to open it. any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

There are torrent clients already in the repos. If you must use this then you can run:

wget http://download.utorrent.com/linux/utorrent-server-3.0-24733.tar.gz; sudo mv ./utorrent-server-3.0-24733.tar.gz /opt/; cd /opt/; sudo tar zxvf ./utorrent-server-3.0-24733.tar.gz; sudo rm ./utorrent-server-3.0-24733.tar.gz; cd /usr/bin; sudo ln -s /opt/utorrent-server-v3_0/utserver .

Will put the file in your $PATH so should be launchable.

If you want an easier life you can install rtorrent or even just use transmission which is part of a default install.

Can you help with this problem?
