So, I will present only the essential information to let you understand the basic concepts and properly configure your Ubuntu box for torrent download. I wish I could explain everything, but then you probably wouldn't read it. I have included several links throughout the tutorial, most of them to Wikipedia articles, which has a lot of good info on torrents. You can check a list of available clients and their respective features here (). Nevertheless, most of the contents of this tutorial can be applied to any client, since the concepts are the same and most clients have the same sort of basic features. I consider Deluge the best BitTorrent () client for Linux and Windows. Nevertheless, I hope you will enjoy torrenting even more after reading this tutorial and I expect to be much easier for you to optimize and troubleshoot your download speeds.įor the purpose of simplifying this tutorial, I will be using Deluge 1.1.9 () as an example when explaining configuration of clients (). In this tutorial I try to explain the basics as simply as possible, but this is not easy to do in a few words, specially for someone like me who doesn't have English as native language. Understanding the technology is essential, in my opinion, to get the best of it. There are many legal uses for the BitTorrent technology, including downloading Ubuntu releases, which helps to distribute the load over Canonical severs, specially the day a new version is released. That's solely the responsibility of the user. The BitTorrent technology is not designed, as many other Internet technologies, to do illegal activities. Warning: I do not support downloading unauthorized content, so any questions related to copyrighted material will be ignored and I will ask a moderator to delete it. The objective of this thread is to provide a comprehensive list of BitTorrent optimizations and troubleshooting common issues (this is a work in progress).
