When we started our Idea Bank a few months ago, a Linux version was immediately the most requested feature, and has stayed #1 ever since. This morning, we are announcing a preview release of the first of two new products for Linux users. µTorrent Server, an alpha version available immediately for download here, is intended for users seeking a fast, commandline only BitTorrent client with remote web-based management. If you prefer a more traditional experience, rest assured we are working hard to build a full-featured GUI client.
This is a native Linux port and is known to work on Ubuntu 9.10+, Debian 5+ and Fedora 12+. Others may work, but they are not officially supported. Kernel 2.6.13 or newer required. 64-bit host systems currently have some problems, so 32-bit only for now.
For trackers who whitelist, the user agent is uTorrent/300B(build#)(server)
The peerid is identical to the Windows 3.0 client.
The versioning starts with 3.0 because the codebase is in sync with 3.0 on the Windows client.
Release Notes
Native Linux port!
Headless daemon with WebUI support for remote management
Known Issues
Auto-updates do not work yet
May not work reliably on 64-bit host systems
Give it a shot!
