I am new to Ubuntu and I have downloaded version 17.10. Please tell me how to get the uTorrent or is there any other way I can use to download torrents?

There's many torrent clients in the repository / software center, e.g. qBittorrent or Deluge. You can also install uTorrent in WINE, but I'd recommended trying out one of the native options first. – Jonas Czech Jan 03 '18 at 14:15

1Are you really using a [[tag:server]], i.e. a distribution without GUI? In other words, do you need a command line torrent client? – Melebius Jan 03 '18 at 14:45

1@galoget -- the latest utorrent for linux is 5 years old. He's better off with qbittorrent – ravery Jan 03 '18 at 14:49

@ravery I agree with you, I was just answering to the question itself, of how to get utorrent, just in case he wants the old program. – galoget Jan 03 '18 at 14:52

@galoget -- however the linux version is a server, unlike the windows version which is a GUI client. Thus qbittorrent is most like the Windows uTorrent – ravery Jan 03 '18 at 14:55

qbittorrent is in the universe repo.
sudo add-apt-repository universe
Then install qbittorrent:
sudo apt-get install qbittorrent

Go to the software-center and install transmission , it`s a bittorrent manager .

Transmission is already included with many flavors of Ubuntu - no need to install it. See
apt rdepends transmission-gtk– user535733 Jan 03 '18 at 16:54 -
