1. Install Wine:
To get latest version add Wine’s repositories to your source list:
sudo wget http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/sources.list.d/feisty.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/winehq.list
Add the repository key:
wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
Update apt-get:
sudo apt-get update
Install Wine:
sudo apt-get install wine
2. Download utorrent:
sudo wget http://download.utorrent.com/1.7.2/utorrent.exe -O ~/.utorrent
To launch utorrent use the command:
wine ~/.utorrent
To get Firefox to automatically open utorrent when clicking on torrent links:
sudo gedit /usr/bin/utorrent
Paste the following into the newly opened text file:
#!/bin/sh
cd ~/
if [ "$1" != "" ]; then
var="`echo $1 | sed 's////g'`"
var="Z:${var}"
wine .utorrent "$var"
else
wine.utorrent
fi
Then save it & close gedit.
Make the script you just wrote executable:
sudo chmod a+x /usr/bin/utorrent
3. Now, go into Firefox and download a torrent. Choose “open with” and hit “browse” on the list, and navigate to /usr/bin and choose utorrent.
Original manual is available here.
Didn't work for me in ubuntu 9.10 so I had to change the script a bit:
Changed line 4 from:
var="`echo $1 | sed 's////g'`"
to:
var="`echo $1 | sed 's%/%\\\\%g'`"
var=”`echo $1 | sed ’s////g’`”
to:
var="`echo /usr/bin | sed 's///x5C/g'`"
:_)
