utorrent error loading archive

*.exe files are built for Windows and not for Ubuntu. exe files don't run on Ubuntu.

If you're going to execute exe files, maybe wine can help. wine is included in the Synaptic package manager.

Hope it helps.

utorrent run well under wine but please is better to run native software to manage/download the .torrent files.
i suggest you Deluge or the already installed Transmission

if you want to install Wine then utorrent windows executable please install Wine first...

----------------------------
Linux does not natively run any windows exe files.
In order to run windows files you will have to run them with a compatibility layer called Wine.

To install wine in Ubuntu

Please first enable the universe repository:

Open System → Administration → Software sources → [ Tab Ubuntu software ]
enable "Community Maintained open source software (universe)"
Close and confirm the repository reload.

Then open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:

sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude install wine

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Then there are a lot of howto on the net:

Hope this helps

By the way, Transmission is one of the best BitTorrent clients out there. Only BitTorrent official client and Vuze support as many features.

thanks guys for the info, and i dont want to use any windows programs at all thats why i swithed to ubuntu but its nkinda like learning the pc all over again so on that note i downloaded deluge and well how to i put this um....in windows when you download and install a program you just double click the icon to run the program (i usually would have it on desktop) but with ubuntu where do i find the icon to double click or whatever to run say deluge?

Hello Matthew,

Every installed application will add a menu entry in order to launch it (well, there are some exceptions but that's not the concern :p).

Deluge is a BitTorrent client, and as it's network related, it should be in Applications->Network->Deluge.

I seriously recommand you to try Transmission, though :) Transmission supports UPnP and NAT-PMP, data encryption, DHT peer exchange, and many other things.

1st i tried all that marcobra suggested but with no success. When i type into the terminal and press enter i get this error message.....matthew@MDK:~$ sudu apt-get update
bash: sudu: command not found.

Also Steve in my applications tab i do not have a network opption. I really do appreciate your guys help and appoligise if any of these questions are just dumb but its like relearning everything over again wich i guess i am.

oh one more thing in the add remove files there was no deluge either. I dont understand what i could be doing wrong here but its probably something very simple im sure

It's sudo, not sudu.

None of your questions are dumb. We just need to figure out how to
answer them ahead of time so you don't have to ask them :-)

OMG told you it was something stupid! I got it now. Thanks dan! I also found transmission i was just looking in the wrong place. Thanks every one for you help and for help in the future cause i know ill need it along the way till i get used to all thiss.

Thanks marcobra, that solved my question.
