utorrent install

Postby ant129 » Sat Jun 25, 2011 3:43 am

Anyone successfully installed utorrent for archlinux arm? I found two different versions in the archlinux repository "utorrent" and "utorrent-server" both required dependencies that I couldn't install. (utorrent -wine) (server -lib32-glibc, plus a few more)

I also tried just extracting the actual linux build from utorrent.com but that did work either.

Any other ideas?

I tried transmission, wasn't impressed. I use utorrent now on my PC, love it.

Given that you use uTorrent, I'd assume you'd know it wasn't open source, and that there are only x86 binary releases.
Mystery: solved.

Everyone else, myself included, seems satisfied with either transmission or deluge. Things generally aren't awesome out of the box, it's what you make them become that leads to excellence.

You will have to forgive my noobness, this is my first Linux OS and I am only two weeks in. No I didn't think about it not being open source. The main thing I like about utorrent was the scheduler feature and the fact I could move the torrent files automagically after they were downloaded and still seed from the new location. I imagine I could set that up on the ones you mentioned but didn't see the options built in and knew they existed for utorrent.

Ah so this gets transmission a little closer to what I am use to http://code.google.com/p/transmisson-remote-gui/.

You can run the remote gui from your PC, (information for other noobs).

I use built in web interface of transmission, an flexget for scheduling
There are scripts to do things after torrent finishes, Inc unrar

@ant129
The transmission install available in the repos has a crude scheduler (only one rule set daily), but if you need some more configuration what pepedog suggested works great too. If you follow the install instructions from this site you can see in the settings.json file that you can kickstart a script once a file has been downloaded. It's a change from utorrent, but still works great.
Deluge is another great one, perfect for seedboxes, but I haven't used it before so I can't vouch for it. My two cents: try out transmission first and if you're not happy try Deluge :)
