utorrent in ubuntu

Labels: , , ,

utorrent is the most popular bittorrent client around - and there is a linux version available. So, when I searched how to set up utorrent in ubuntu, I was taken aback by the results I found - almost all the posts were to use wine to run windows version of utorrent in linux!!
Thats absurd, if not why have utorrent taken the effort to build a version for linux?
When I finished setting up utorrent, and strated downloading I couldnt believe how simple the whole process was.. All it took was
1. Download the linux version of utorrent from http://www.utorrent.com/downloads/complete?os=linux
2. Go to the dowload folder (lets say home/Downloads). You will find the downloaded tar file - utorrent-server-3.0-23418.tar.gz
3. Extract the tar file, for that right click on the tar file and choose Extract here.

4. Go to the folder utorrent-server-v3_0 created. You will find 1 folder and 2 files - docs, utserver, webui.zip. 


5. Double click on utserver and a configuration file settings.dat will be created and the utorrent server starts up. 

6. Now open a webbrowser and go to the url http://localhost:8080/gui/ to get the gui for utorrent.
