Torrenting In Ubuntu

What Is The Torrent Application?


The torrent application shipped with Ubuntu is Transmission. It works well with all your .torrent files as well as magnet links and is very customizable. I prefer it over the Windows application uTorrent by far. There is no need to download anything extra to get up and torrenting on Ubuntu. The default directory Transmission saves too is the Downloads folder in your home folder, but you can change this if you wish.

How Do I Start It?

To launch Transmission just click the Ubuntu icon in the top left corner, type Transmission and click the icon. You can pin it to your launcher if you like, I have it pinned because I use it everyday.
