No uTorrent for Linux by Year's End

It doesn't really matter if it is launched for Linux or not. There are lots of BitTorrent clients for Linux. And some of them are really good, e.g: rtorrent or KTorrent

Thumbs up for KTorrent!

Deluge is more than capable enough to handle my torrenting on Linux. I'm not heartbroken about uTorrent, honestly.

rtorrent is the best ever!

I have transmission so who cares?

Honestly - huge utorrent user in the past - I could care less now. Also - didn't they include ads now and there is a separate version without them? Screw that. There are tons of others like deluge and transmission etc.

do we really need utorrent on linux? There is just so many great clients on linux already.

With Transmission you don't need anything else. I love that program.

Who cares what BitTorrent Inc do. i am happy with vuze.

I use Ktorrent that comes with Kubuntu and honestly never found the need for anything else. It does everything I need (which most programs do) and I like the turn off when finished option. Im curious is any of the recent features I would care about.

Wow, really? More emulation under Wine? Deluge is basically uTorrent's twin and native to linux. Check the repo's. It's fantastic.

Transmission is more than enough .. utorrent is crappy with lot unnecessary functions

I'm * utorrent doesn't make a client for Linux until the end of the year (only next) but in a sense we Linux users don't really care , there are many torrent clients to choose from One that i love is qbittorrent. It works great on all platforms , it is written in QT framework and it looks and feels just like uTorrent minus the crappy bars and viruses Did i mentioned that is small and better in the sense that is simpler to use than kTorrent (starts in < 1s instead of minutes) And it does have a cool logo too

In ubuntu you can install this way

sudo apt-get install qbittorrent

or on windows/macosx from this page
http://www.qbittorrent.org/download.php

qbittorrent functions the same as utorrent anyways

uTorrent is a great program, but in Linux we have something even better. Use Deluge. It's native and gives you option to run daemon+program bundle, or only the daemon, if you have some download server.

I think ktorrent is much better anyways

Qbittorrent works great, with Arch Linux.

QBittorrent works just great for me. Who needs uTorrent anyways? Why are people still waiting for ports from these non-Linux friendly groups? As far as bittorrents goes we already have lots of great native Linux apps.

Most basic seeding and leeching can be done efficiently with Transmission, more features can be found in a very capable Bitclient called Deluge and others.

The necessity of uTorrent has severely dropped from what it used to be back when I used to use it on Wine in 07'. Although I still want to see it come to Linux eventually just to say that Linux has that too.

rtorrent is really great and had a lot of muscle with very little memory requirements. i gladly trade a fancy UI for that. and you can manage torrents in the cli just fine
