Finding a torrent client
I have had to do yet another re-install. I tried to use Easy Ubuntu to get everything I needed, but I wouldn't initialize right when I selected everything I wanted. So I used Automatix to get the essential stuff and went back to Easy Ubuntu to get some codecs and a rar packager. It works great for ".rar" files (i.e. Winrar). So after getting that I set up my static IP. I put my custom firewall my buddy wrote for me on and opened the ports I wanted to. Once all was said and done I could only get BitTornado and Azeurus to transfer at any kind of respectable speed. I was hoping to use ktorrent, as it looked a lot like utorrent I love so much for windows. I couldn't seem to get that or utorrent through wine working right so I have gone with Azeurus. I wish it were just a little easier, like utorrent, but it works fine. Reading online Azeurus also seems to be the favorite of most other linux users, so I would say that is the way to go. You should get java anyway.
