This chapter has some pointers to common ways of installingrTorrent on your machine– and in many cases, also ruTorrent and other related apps and services.It does not provide yet another way to do that,because there already are plentiful and redundant sources out there.
Installation Using OS Packages¶
Interface is a little sparse. Deluge has been around forever, and it can be as simple or as powerful as you want it to be, making it one of the most versatile free torrent clients out there. UTorrent is an efficient BitTorrent client for Windows from the originator of the BitTorrent protocol. Most of the features present in other BitTorrent clients are present in uTorrent, including bandwidth prioritization, scheduling, RSS auto-downloading, and Mainline DHT. Jun 13, 2018 Rutorrent in Windows. The Rutorrent is the most fabulous web interface for torrents I know. I think what makes the rutorrent superior to competitors is the numerous plugins. The base is the rtorrent rutorrent that only has version for Linux (that I know). The possibility exists that the rutorrent work along with some tor client on.
While installing using pre-compiled packages is the easiest wayto get a working rTorrent executable onto your system,it has the unfortunate side-effect that quite often these packagescontain a rather outdated version of it.
I have used most of the torrent clients out there for Windows ( utorrent, vuze, Mainline, bittornado, etc) and I have also used most of the torrent clients available for Linux(Transmission, Deluge, halite, Ktorrent, qbittorrent, rtorrent). Out of all these the one that I used most of the times in Utorrent on Windows XP.
You might want to look in the “testing” or “experimental” repositoriesof your distribution, or alternatively install from source (see below).
The rTorrent wiki lists package names and installation commands for a lot of Linux distributions and other operating systems.
DEB packages of rTorrent-PS for Debian and Ubuntu are on GitHub.
“Arch User Repository” (AUR) PKGBUILDs maintained by @xsmile forlibtorrent-ps andrtorrent-ps.See also the Arch Linuxwiki page.
Automated Installation¶
This is just a selection of the myriad of projects out there that perform automated installs.If you miss something, please make sure a potential new entry is actually still maintained,and mention what target platforms it is designed and tested for.
Projects that work on Debian very likely also work on Ubuntu.Just make sure the release dates match reasonably, i.e. Jessie is equivalent to either Xenial or Trusty.If you want to run ruTorrent, the default version of PHP is very important (either 5 or 7).
Ansible · Ubuntu Xenial + Trusty · Debian Jessie + Wheezy · Raspian
This will install rTorrent-PS, pyrocore, and related software onto any remote dedicated server or VPS with root access, running Debian or a Debian-like OS. It does so via Ansible, which is in many ways superior to the usual “call a bash script to set up things once and never be able to update them again”, since you can run this setup repeatedly to either fix problems, or to install upgrades and new features added to the project’s repository.
bash + Javascript
QuickBox provides easy seedbox and services management from a web dashboard.With the click of a button users can install additional application packages.
Swizzin is a fork and strives to be more light-weight and modular.
bash · Ubuntu/Mint · full HTPC setup
AtoMiC Toolkit simplifies the setup of a HTPC or home server and its management, on Ubuntu and Debian variants including Raspbian. It currently supports:

bash · Trusty · Wheezy / Jessie
Seedbox installation script for Ubuntu and Debian systems.
bash · Debian Jessie + Wheezy · Raspian
Auto install script for rTorrent, with ruTorrent as the web client.
Installing from Source¶
If you compile your own executable, you are free to chose whatever version you want,including the current bleeding edge of development (git HEAD), or any “release tarball”.

rTorrent Distributions¶
A rTorrent distribution (not a fork of it), in form of a set of patches that improve the user experience and stability of official rTorrent releases. The notable additions are the more condensed ncurses UI with colorization and a network bandwidth graph, and a default configuration providing many new features, based in part on an extended command set.
This puts more patches and a different default configuration on top of rTorrent-PS. It also tries to work with the current git HEAD of rTorrent, which rTorrent-PS does not.
