Many people have become disillusioned with utorrent in recent months, including myself. I looked into other torrent clients and found qBittorrent. It’s simply fantastic! Its web client works perfectly in mobile browsers, and the system itself is very stable.

 

It can be installed on Ubuntu as follows:

You need to add its repository to the cache:

add-apt-repository ppa:qbittorrent-team/qbittorrent-stable

Update the source list:

apt-get update

Depending on whether you want only the web client or also the desktop client, install accordingly:

(Web interface only:)

apt-get install qbittorrent-nox

(Web and graphical interface:)

apt-get install qbittorrent qbittorrent-nox

For the web interface only, you can start it with the following command:

qbittorrent-nox

It can be accessed on the server’s IP address or localhost on port 8080.

The default login credentials are:

Username: admin
Password: adminadmin

The login credentials can (and should) be changed in the web interface.
