I am on Ubuntu 16.04, and was wondering if there is a way to use a P2P file sharing program like Bit Torrent?

I have tried Transmission with no luck, and then installed qBittorrent again with no results.

The torrent does not seem to move and I get the following:

udp://open.demonii.com:1337   Not Working
udp://tracker.leechers-paradise.org:6969   Not Working
udp://zer0day.ch:1337   Not Working
udp://tracker.coppersurfer.tk:6969   Not Working
udp://exodus.desync.com:6969   Not Working

Error

Any troubleshooting help is appreciated.

Thanks.

A quick and easy way is to use Transmission:

  1. Click the Ubuntu icon in the upper left corner of the screen
  2. Type "Transmission" (something like "torrent" would work as well)
  3. Click the "Transmission BitTorrent Client" icon

I use qBittorrent. It's no frills fast and easy, very similar to utorrent for Windows. You can from "GNOME Software". Type qBittorrent and install, or open a terminal and type:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:qbittorrent-team/qbittorrent-stable

then:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install qbittorrent

Once installed, you can start it from Unity Dash or application menu.
