It doesn't

1> There's no native linux version

2> There's no publically available webinterface

3> There's no capability to run as a daemon/service even on windows.

Bumping this thread

Sorry about that.

BUT, I heard some "rumours" (some time ago, some adminpost mentioned it.) about a Linux CLI (with perhaps a Web Interface) version of µTorrent.

And would like to ask about the status on those?

If nothing, i will cry myself to sleep.

If some, i will be a happy forumcamper. and stuff.

Thanks.

Nothing.

i tried this this (well kinda... i made a script to start it at start up under wine and then told to start)

it seemed to run (i could log in using the webgui) but complained about no display

i was wondering if this would cause any problems or if i could stop it looking for a display i tried /hide but that didn't seem to do it

I haven't tested this, but indications on the net show that you can use Xvfb (a virtual X11 framebuffer) to trick Wine into thinking that there is actually an X server running on some non-existent display.

Taking a script from the latter link and adapting it, I guess you could try something like this:

echo "Running uTorrent:"
export DISPLAY=:1
Xvfb :1 &
wine [PATH TO uTorrent]
killall Xvfb
unset DISPLAY

(replace [PATH TO uTorrent] with the full path to µTorrent like you normally would when running from Wine anywhere else)

At any rate, if µTorrent is running fine, you can most likely ignore the error messages you might see.

thanks that worked

if i could stop the logging appearing in the console that i start it in that would be great

eg stop this

wine [PATH TO uTorrent] >& /dev/null

Replace the line in the batch script I posted above with this line.

that seems to stop both the logging and the http access

TBH, I'm not even sure what those console messages are, as they don't seem at all related to µTorrent. Are you sure it's not something else generating them...?

i get them when i sign in using the web gui or the vista gadget

O.o

Why would you be using the Vista gadget while running Linux...?

Either way, those messages should show up only in the µTorrent logger tab -- not the console. I've never seen it show up in the console either. Additionally, there should be no reason why chucking the logger messages into /dev/null should affect connectability O.o

the gadget is running on another pc on my lan

got it

#!/bin/bash

USER=torrent
DIR="/home/torrent/Desktop/torrents/utorrent"
case "$1" in
        start)
        su $USER -c "wine $DIR/uTorrent.exe >& /dev/null&"
        ;;

        *)
                echo "Usage: $0 {start}"
        esac

edit: as i don't really have any idea what i am doing (i looked at other scripts and tried to figure out how they work) i recommend that someone who does tidy it up and add a stop function

but it works for me as is

Ehm, there should be no reason to use su just to run µTorrent+Wine...

its a start script (starts when pc starts)and i don't want to run as root

its su'ing to the user torrent

Oh. I'm not too intimately familiar with Linux startup scripts and such
