uTorrent For Linux Releasing Soon

uTorrent For Linux

Ever since uTorrent was released, Mac and Linux users have begged the developers to release a version of the client designed to work on their computers. In 2006, when uTorrent was sold to BitTorrent Inc., the company announced that a Mac version was coming. In 2008, nearly two years after the announcement, it was finally released to the public.

With the the release of the Mac version, Linux users were the only ones left out in the cold, but this is about to change. The uTorrent development team has just announced that they are working on a Linux version of the client. Further details on the time line and an eventual release date are not available at the moment.

The Linux version is the most backed idea on uTorrent’s recently introduced Idea Bank. The Idea Bank is prominently featured on uTorrent’s website and allows users to submit and vote for ideas they want to see implemented. In just a few weeks the idea of a Linux version has been supported by 3254 people. This huge demand from users is one of the main reasons why the Linux version is now in progress.

Whether or not the uTorrent Linux release will ever reach the massive market share it has on Windows remains to be seen. The Mac version has been well received but it is by no means the most used BitTorrent client on the platform. Whatever happens, it’s definitely good to see that uTorrent will soon be available on all three major platforms.

Enjoy Nerdcore?

Ubuntu 64-Bit playing L4D Via Wine

josh — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 15:03:05 +0000

I took some screen captures while playing Left 4 Dead. I am running it via Win 1.1.25.
For more information about Wine visit their site.

I was getting fairly decent frame rates, around 22-35 depending. That was also while running the gtk-recordmydesktop screen capture application. For some reason the audio was stripped out. There is a new version of wine out, I plan to upgrade, tweak it some more and give that a try. I did have the shading turned way down just to increase FPS performance.

Video was recorded in OGV, and edited in Kdenlive

For those curious this machine is running:

AMD Phenom II Quad Core 2.2
8 GB Memory
Nvidia BFG GTX260
500 GB WD HDD

I will have more to come after trying out Wine. 1.1.26.

I had a blast at the South East Linux Fest. I will be posting several videos, and thought I’d share some footage I shot of Dual Core, an an awesome nerdcore band that was there pimping their music.

Enjoy.
