I'm trying to install utorrent 1.8.5 and I see I need to follow these instructions to work around the installation loop issue: [url] http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=11113&iTestingId=46397[/url]> > The easiest way to run around this is to update your desktop link files / shortcuts to 'Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/mycomputer/.wine" wine "C:\\Program Files\\uTorrent\\uTorrent.exe" /NOINSTALL' or similar. Just include the "/NOINSTALL" option in link or command line argument.My problem is I'm too new to the linux scene to understand exactly what I need to do to get this version of utorrent installed via wine and working Any help is GREATLY appreciated :)
1.Download uTorrent. 2.Open terminal. 3.In directory where uTorrent.exe is located type: wine uTorrent.exe /noinstall That should do it. If that doesn't work try this: 1.Download utorrent 2.Open terminal 3.In terminal type: wineprefixcreate --prefix ~/wineprefix-utorrent (this will create new directory in your home directory, called wineprefix-utorrent) 4.In directory where uTorrent.exe is located type: WINEPREFIX=~/wineprefix-utorrent wine uTorrent.exe /noinstall That really should do it. If uTorrent still doesn't work - try upgrading wine to newest version (1.1.33 right now).
Worked flawlessly thanks so much :)
As far as I know - you must run utorrent with "/noinstall" every time.

I was going to suggest Deluge, but you said it ate too much resources... I really can't imagine that, it "eats" like 2% on my 630Mhz CPU, practically never disturbing other programs. The only time it takes up 100% is when creating files, but that's normal even for uTorrent.
