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.

Deluge torrent seems much like uTorrent.

Is Deluge any good though?

[v0id]

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)

Modules like what?

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

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

It does. The official BitTorrent client works fine for both Windows, Mac and Linux.

So then why not use that? Isn't that the best way to go, since its supported and created by and for bittorents?
