Anyone Recommend a Good Torrent Program for Ubuntu?

I've read of Javascript Azureus, but anything else?

    i dont know for sure if it runs under ubuntu, ive always tried to avoid ubuntu whenever possible, never quite liked their way of doing things, but i can recommend deluge, in fact fuck i just googled it for you, it supports and has packages for ubuntu http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Download

    rTorrent is my favorite, I wouldn't use anything else.

    Transmission is the defacto for OSX and Linux. Recently though uTorrent made an OSX client so maybe a Linux version is on the way.

    Running uTorrent under wine seems like alot of work if you just want a torrent client...

    For some reason, running UNR 10.04 on my netbook, Transmission crashes. A LOT. Like...can't open it, it's somehow broken. I hated it anyways.

    I just have it setup so I can click the Utorrent icon and it will automatically start up fine, just like any other program. Seems to be no more work...even if it was, I love Utorrent.

    ctorrent works as well as Azureus.

    If you're running in runlevel 3 or just want a shell torrent client, use ctorrent, otherwise if you want the graphical stuff use Azureus.

    Azureus is now called Vuze and imo it is the best downloader.

    GTK based: deluge
    Qt based: Ktorrent

    Ktorrent always seems to download stuff faster, but i can't prove it statistically - probably just my KDE bias. :)

    I use Ktorrent on gnome. It seems to be the fastest for me, too, and gnome > KDE, IMO.
