BitTorrent is a method of downloading big files. The big file is broken down into smaller parts and it automatically fetches parts from multiple hosts at once. It also shares the parts you've already downloaded with others, so that everybody shares and benefits. It is a good way to download Ubuntu iso releases, especially when the regular release sites are slow, since it actually gets faster when there are lots of users downloading and sharing at once. Bittorrent is considered a Peer-to-Peer(P2P) application. To see other P2P applications, see P2PHowTo. Ubuntu includes a graphical bittorrent client already installed. Kubuntu includes the KTorrent graphical client already installed. Also see the Wikipedia article on BitTorrent. For help with Synaptic for installing other software, see SynapticHowto.

Considering that it comes pre-installed on Ubuntu, it’s safe to say that it is probably the most popular torrent client for Linux. The user interface is dead simple but features most of the essential options that include magnet link support, download/upload speed configuration, remote control, and so on. Alternative downloads. There are several other ways to get Ubuntu including torrents, which can potentially mean a quicker download, our network installer for older systems and special configurations and links to our regional mirrors for our older (and newer) releases. There are some torrent clients that you can run on a headless server. I dunno if you can control them via console, but the following clients are controllable via web interface: torrentflux; deluge; Torrentflux is available in the Ubuntu repositories, but I think in a quite outdated version now. Deluge can be obtained from the getdeb.

Using BitTorrent files

To start a torrent download, click on a .torrent file in your web browser. The software will then ask you where you want to save the file and keep you updated on the progress. You can also save the .torrent link to a folder. Double-clicking on the .torrent will then open the bittorrent client.

In addition, the program can be launched in Ubuntu (Gnome) by selecting Applications->Internet->Transmission.

You can also pause or stop a download, and resume it later on.

Ubuntu .torrent files

Ubuntu bittorrent files can be found at http://releases.ubuntu.com/ or at http://torrent.ubuntu.com

You can choose from a variety of available forms (32-bit/i386 and 64-bit/amd64, dvd or cd). Choose your distribution number/codename (e.g. Ubuntu 9.04) to find the appropriate torrent file you are looking for.
