Why can't I install uTorrent Server on Ubuntu?

Question

I've seen a detailed tutorial on installing u-torrent but after i enter, last line of code, it says:

'bash: /usr/bin/utserver: No such file or directory'

syntax; utserver -settingspath /opt/utorrent-server-v3_0/

I think it is best to use transmission if you intended to download only. However here - http://askubuntu.com/q/104094/35775 is a brief tutorial. I think you missed the step while creating hard link sudo ln -s /opt/utorrent-server-v3_0/utserver /usr/bin/utserver — Web-E, Jul 07 '12 at 12:43
give us the Tutorial link and terminal code in paste bin . Thank you . — Raja G, Jul 07 '12 at 12:43
Web-E; Thank you for your response.I tried those steps again and at the line which you said that i missed it..It said 'ln: failed to create symbolic link `/usr/bin/utserver': File exists'. And after entering the final syntax it ended up showing the same error which i posted above. Hope you understood what i said,thank you — srujan, Jul 07 '12 at 12:58

You are using 64-bit Ubuntu
You downloaded the 32-bit version of utserver, which requires the ia32-libs compatibility package on 64-bit Ubuntu (or you get the cryptic file not found error)
- You can fix this problem with sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
Better yet, get the native 64-bit version of uTorrent Server:
- wget http://download.utorrent.com/linux/utorrent-server-3.0-ubuntu-10.10-27079.x64.tar.gz
- After that you will need to install libssl v0.9.8 to get it work, with sudo apt-get install libssl0.9.8
