Deluge Bit Torrent Client
Deluge is among my favorite bit torrent clients for Ubuntu. It is fast, slick and packed with all sorts of functionalities. Deluge is not available in Ubuntu by default, but its in the repositories.
- Click Here to Install Deluge in Ubuntu from official repositories.
- Now, if you want to install the latest bleeding edge version of Deluge instead, you need to do the following in Terminal.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deluge-team/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install deluge
- Done. Now goto Applications – Internet – Deluge BitTorrent Client.
Transmission Bit Torrent Client
As you all should know already, Transmission is the default bit torrent client in Ubuntu for a long time now. Transmission is a nice mix of simplicity and functionality. And it is my second favorite bit torrent client(after Deluge). It incorporates all the basic features you would expect from a torrent client.
- Transmission is available by default in Ubuntu. But if you want to install the latest bleeding edge version of browser in Ubuntu, you need to do the following in Terminal.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:transmissionbt/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade
- Done. Now goto Applications – Internet – Transmission BitTorrent Client.
- Click Here to Install qBittorrent in Ubuntu from official repositories.
- Now, if you want to install the latest bleeding edge(and unstable) version of qBittorrent instead, you need to do the following in Terminal.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hydr0g3n/qbittorrent-unstable sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install qbittorrent
- Done. Now goto Applications – Internet – qBittorrent.
KTorrent Bit Torrent Client
- Click Here to Install KTorrent in Ubuntu from official repositories.
- You can install latest version under development version of KTorrent instead via Kubuntu backports PPA(though I haven’t tried it myself).
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install ktorrent
- Done. Now goto Applications – Internet – KTorrent.
Vuze Bit Torrent Client
Vuze bit torrent client is also a widely used alternative among Ubuntu users. Though I have never really preferred it over the likes of Deluge or Transmission, I have noticed elsewhere that a lot of Linux users actually prefer Vuze(previously called Azureus).
