Download the package to a tmp location, extract and then copy the required files: I will keep it in /opt (ofcourse you can keep it anywhere feasible)Īt the time of this writing, µTorrent Server alpha (3.0 build 25053) was the latest available one.
Yum install glibc glibc.i86 libgcc libgcc.i86 openssl openssl.i86 krb5-libs krb5-libs.i86 libcom_err libcom_err.i86 zlib zlib.i86 keyutils-libs keyutils-libs.i86 libselinux libselinux.i86 If you are using a 64bit distro, install the 32bit libraries: Yum install glibc libgcc openssl krb5-libs libcom_err zlib keyutils-libs libselinux They are installed by default even in the minimal installations.
In case of a 32 bit distro, there are hardly any dependencies to be installed. If you are using a 圆4 distribution, you'll need to install all the 32 bit libraries.
I am using a 32 bit Centos 6.2, but this guide should work with most linux distributions. (Note: If you have old libraries, or facing any library related error, I have a different guide for you HERE ) Utserver binary requires glibc-2.11 or newer. Here is a complete step by step installation guide:
But anyways, I am really thankful to the utorrent team for briniging out utorrent for linux.Ī couple of things felt missing but still it is better than the most, infact all! It is currently an alpha release of version 3.0 build, with only web-based GUI and 32bit release (requires 32bit libraries on 圆4 systems). As expected it is free but closed-source, with a little hope from the forums that it might become open-source in the future. Keeping my hopes high, I gave it a try and it lived up to my expectations. Until recently I heard that utorrent is now available for linux. Frankly speaking in these six years of my linux voyage, I never found any alternative to that. It was small, light-weight and very user friendly. I used to use uTorrent on windows as my torrent client. It has been six years since I migrated to Linux (from windows) and never looked back.
