uTorrent on Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy)
Thursday, February 7, 2008 | Labels: Ubuntu | |
uTorrent has always been my favorite torrent client. But one thing it lacked was, it wasn't able to bypass my ISP's traffic shaping. Since then, I jumped the bandwagon for a ride with Deluge. Deluge runs great on Ubuntu; thank you so much for their development team for coming up with a package for Ubuntu.
If you want to use uTorrent on Ubuntu, fret not. There is a way. If you read the download page carefully, it does say:
For Wine, Windows 95 (Winsock2), 98/ME, NT/2000, XP, 2003, and Vista.
So what are you waiting for?? Just download uTorrent, browse to where you downloaded it, and Wine it away!
wine utorrent.exe
Once its installed, Wine the executable. It should be available in your Program Files folder ;)
wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/uTorrent/uTorrent.exe
Here is a screenshot of it:
