I have been using qBittorrent for over a year now. And just like you I use torrents a lot. I also use Transmission sometimes. I have personally never had any issues with running torrent clients. What problem are you seeing? <br>
<br>Skype is an issue, It has been in beta for ages, without any updates. But that's what you get for using a proprietary software. You are dependent on one company.<br><br>I currently have two Ubuntu 10.04 machines. One with a 64bit installation and one with the netbook remix. <br clear="all">
<br>Thanks,<br>Tarun<br>

But now I've reached a point... what am I doing? I've spend endless hours trying to get torrents to work on Ubuntu Netbook 10.04. Torrents work fine with XP, stock settings on uTorrent, so let's not start in with the rounter, or that I need to turn down the # of connections, that's all been done. Version 9,10 worked. At this point, why would I fool with this anymore? None of the dozen computers I maintain for friends run Linux. In fact I don't know anyone personally who does. The only person (non professional) that is better at computers than me in using Windows 7. The concept seems REALLY cool, but Linux JUST DOESN'T WORK. Skype has always been a disaster. People complain MS is glitchy... a reboot usually fixes that. People complain of viruses... stop runing with Admn
rights & MOST of your problems are solved. So what AM I trying to accomplish with Linux? It's faster, yes especially since I've got a netbook... but I use torrents a LOT. This should JUST WORK & if it doesn't... I'm gone. <br>
