I am after a torrent application for use on a linux based system.
I would prefer it to be very low memory intensive as it is running on a really old machine. I was just going to see if I could use it as a downloading pc.
So does anyone have any experience with one that would run smoothly on a slow pc?
Thanks

Sorry, I am not sure if there are any torrent clients to run on a linux machine, unless you use a windows emulator to run it, I doubt you could find one that easily.

there are torrent programs.. Bittorent an there are a few on http://sourceforge.net

Ok damm really? I thought i remembered reading about one once. must of imagined it. oh well thanks for your reply.
If anyone can prove us both wrong that would be great

Ok ill keep looking through there anyway hopefully one will pop up. Thanks for the help

EDIT: Thanks animal ill look into that too

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?grou...4&package_id=25125

Bit Torrent for Operating Systems other than Windows, sorry if I offended you animal, I didn't mean that you weren't right, I just meant that when I looked through there, I couldn't find any...

its easy to find what u want through there or other places . some Distro's are actually getting clients in them

Azureus is a BT client that has a Linsux version too.

Wow thanks for the effort guys greatly appreciated.
Any idea which one will run with a small footprint this is a pretty low end machine?
If not dont worry ill test them out as i go and find the best one

Haha i dont particularly like it either i was just playing around with it on an old pc. I was actually hopefully to run a stripped down version of xp on it and just play around and test stuff but i have had some problems getting xp to install.
I probably should start another thread and will if you suggest it but does anyone know whats happening. I set the bios to boot from cdrom first. and i put my xp cd in (which is actually a corporate licence edition from my dads business) it asks me to press any key to boot from cd so i do. Then it asks me to type A to install windows xp home edition or B to install windows xp professional edition (this is what its sposed to do).
I choose B then it accepts and brings up text saying "checking hardware configuration" then just goes to a black screen and sits there forever???

EDIT: Wow sorry for the double post did someones post get deleted between mine. (the one about hating Linux) ??

ya, just use the original one, it was meant for linux in the first place i thought.

Gnome comes with gnome-bittorrent if i'm correct
