After attempting to set a symbolic link this comes up (I assume this mean I have done it already, which would make sense because this is one of many attempts).

:~/Downloads$ sudo ln -s /opt/utorrent-server-alpha-v3_3/utserver /usr/bin/utserver
ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘/usr/bin/utserver’: File exists

When attempt to start utorrent, nothing happens. Can someone explain what I am doing wrong I have followed the steps of a guide previously posted on this site. I would really appreciate it, Thanks!

  • Might find your answer here. Might need to try reinstalling it from scratch. http://askubuntu.com/questions/530955/how-to-install-utorrent-v3-3-on-14-04 – Terrance May 25 '15 at 01:51
  • I've tried that in the past and tried it again just now. Still won't work :( , I definitely appreciate the comment though. – TOC May 25 '15 at 03:46
  • I'll just run utorrent in wine until I figure this out. – TOC May 25 '15 at 03:56
  • Out of curiousity, is there a particular reason you chose uTorrent on Linux? – Mo2 May 25 '15 at 04:55

I just installed this on my system. I recommend removing the link before you follow through the instructions here. To remove the link from a terminal type in:

sudo rm /usr/bin/utserver

then follow through on this link.

How to install uTorrent v3.3 on 14.04

I do recommend on the last line of:

utserver -settingspath /opt/utorrent-server-alpha-v3_3/

to change that line to:

utserver -settingspath /opt/utorrent-server-alpha-v3_3/ &

so it runs in the background. Also, you can add it to your start up applications, and put that exact same line as above ending in the & so it can run at start up.

When you open your Firefox or whatever browser you want to use, type in:

http://127.0.0.1:8080/gui

to access the utorrent application.
