Care to post a How-to for wining utorrent? :D
Not much to it if you have wine set up properly. I just did a "wine utorrent.exe" and the installer pops up. Everything works perfectly except some menus seem distorted and stuff like that, but the most important things work like a charm.

Edit: Screw you Graham. :D

My, this looks like a familiar conversation :D Only in the Linux thread :disagree:

Do you use the standalone or the installation verion?
Graham, much love for Windows :D
In Windows I use the standalone version, but in Ubuntu I use the standalone, just because I don't really trust the installation version to 'set everything up correctly' (whatever that means). The only thing is that I have to add torrents manually, but I download a handful of torrents and open them all in one go anyway so meh :)

I always add the torrents manually, it's because I download a bunch of torrents and then download them periodically. So that's not a problem.

Then we're settled; you may aswell go for the standalone to save your precious hard disk space ;)

btw you might want to go to the advanced options in uTorrent and reduce the GUI update frequency, because it flickers when it refreshes.

I am done, I made the switch, utorrent standalone and all. A fancy icon is set but what annoys me is in the taskbar it shows the wine icont :irritate:

I don't like it either... it didn't used to do that until the wine update about 2 weeks ago.
