    Bittorrent Client

    What Bittorrent client do you guys use for Linux? I not into the text-based console clients and would really like a good GUI client. Any recommendations?

    While I was experimenting with Ubuntu I downloaded one from the Add/Remove programs, it was better than uTorrent etc... (if you ever used Windows) but I forgot it's name... I have no idea.

    But seems like you can use uTorrent and install it on Wine.

    µTorrent is great for Windows, but for Linux it sucks.
    Deluge is the absolutely best torrent-client in my humble opinion. It has everything you need, and it's very minimalistic and easy-to-use too.

    I like rTorrent. Runs in the console and works great. It you want GUI try Azureas. It is Java based but works.

    I've used Deluge for a long time, and I really like it. It's very configurable, and it's also easy to add modules to it (you can enable/disable a long list of modules, which comes with it as default, or you can download new modules)

    Extra statistics, peers connected, peers information, network activity graph, and so on.

    BitTorrent official software doesn't work on Linux? That's really odd because I thought there would definitely be a version of it since its open source.
