Installing utorrent on linux edit

How do I install utorrent on Linux? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Me has a question (talkcontribs) 23:21, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have some good advice: don't use uTorrent. Get another torrent client. Here is info on how to install the torrent client Deluge on Linux (specifically Debian or Ubuntu distro's). Deluge is a free, open source software. The Quixotic Potato (talk) 00:20, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Which Linux distribution are you using? The package manager will let you install additional applications; there should be several torrent clients available. 62.56.67.192 (talk) 12:06, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Some Linux distributions include Transmission (BitTorrent client). Use instead, if possible. Else get μTorrent from its webpage. As its lincense includes Adware, it will not be listed in repositories. You need to know the consequences of installing it on Your computer. --Hans Haase (有问题吗) 18:23, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
