A uTorrent for Linux would be very nice.

        i use qbittorrent on Ubuntu Linux but utorrent was my favourite one on Windows and i like the idea i can run native Windows software natively on Linux!it's a great news for me!

        why would you need uTorrent? Look up Deluge it's just a good

        Right now I'm running uTorrent under Wine and it runs pretty OK.. Not perfect like under Windows but I can't really complain. However, a native application would seriously be the bomb-shizzle! :P

        Since there's so many people begging for things, here's my list of requests:
        - client/server model so we have a cli server with a couple of graphical clients (qt/gtk/java/html)
        - server can be closed-source for all I care, but API's should be documented so ppl can develop their own client frontends
        - Repos for RPM and DEB versions
        - x64 version? :D

        Whoooaahahah ha :D

        Great news. Please make native version for openwrt routers (openwrt.org) ;)

        uTorrent+Linux=friends^^
        there are lots of native torrent clients for Linux...but they are not good enough as uTorrent:)

        It's great news! Guys, you are the best.
        But is it possible to divide uTorrent for Linux into client&server part? Because very often linux torrent demon is situated on the some server and managed from another client computer.

        I have a separate PC dedicated for downloading, with only Celeron 1.7 + 256MB of RAM running stripped down Ubuntu (using Fluxbox instead of Gnome). Running wine+uTorrent is a quite slow. I expect native application should be much faster.

        Why? It under wine works well.

        I hate to run programs with wine. Isn't that better to see native uTorrent for Linux? I think so.

        TheQuestion says:
        make it java based so it can run on any platform
        ------
        Java is slow. C++ is faster.

        Who cares? uTorrent works GREAT in wine.

        Running program with wine on non-windows platform is like eating some food with enemy's hands or something :)

        I say:
        I would love to see native uTorrent on linux. I can't wait for it.

        @ouahabix - Yes. We need RPMs. Perhaps source? That'd be a great idea. If we're not going to get that, how about a nice platform agnostic tar.gz/bz2 that we can put in our own package managers?

        @crhylove - So we can be native.

        @Firon - Nice job. Keep up the work, folks. I'll be honest, I'm not a user of uTorrent under wine, but my last windows box does still run it. We're looking forward to native fun.

        This is a very good news. Linux is a perfect platform!!

      • mehdusmehdus commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Awsome! really good news, I can finally use µTorrent again after switching to linux : ) (don't like wine)

      • ouahabixouahabix commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        That's real great news, I was holding my breath if utorrent team had already canceled the whole idea of porting uTorrent :)

        And I hope they won't use Python or C++ but a pure C code with a lightweight GTK+ GUI, no more ugly heavy power hungry QT, a Debian based package is much more appreciated, I don't think a RedHat server would need an RPM package just to run it despite of all what is set up to do, and Fedora guys can have a dynamic binary with the rest of the Suse/ArchLinux/Gentoo...etc users.

        When would we say goodbye to Wine and use a native client ? When? :)
