[14:52] I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 [14:53] Uncle_Fester, rtorrent has no gui [14:53] I used it on a seedbox. Is that different? [14:56] Uncle_Fester, you can logout of the desktop and rtorrent will keep running if you use the 'screen"/"dtach' utility , but there's no gui for it [14:57] i'm still kinda new to linux and i am still learning. [14:59] Maybe it was a web ui? But I do remember using it. Or is there one similar to it that i am mixing it up with? Anyway i really liked the layout, even better than utorrent. [14:59] personally I use qbittorrent , but ktorrent is the default client and it works well ...very similar to utorrent on windows [14:59] qbittorrent seems top stall on me? [15:02] any torrent cleint should be setup on the router to port forward including qbittorrent , choosing ports above 50K is best for tcp and udp [15:02] i'm trying to hash check some files and i cant seem to find a linux bt client taht will do it with out downloading [15:04] Uncle_Fester, dunno if running a checksum on torrentsites is possible [15:05] i used to double check my files in windows. to make sure it got all of them [15:05] with utorrent [15:20] Hello!
