    Why do you need utorrent? Loads of native Linux torrent applications. I used to use utorrent, once I moved to Ubuntu, I started using Transmission and never looked back.

    There is also utorrent for Linux, it's still not stable, closed source like the Windows client (I dislike the idea of having such a program running that uploads a lot of data into the Internet and being closed source) and doesn't come with a native GUI (uses Web UI instead). webupd8.org/2010/09/…

    @LiveWireBT it's also controlled by the music labels, it's intrusive and using it you allow utorrent to track data, hack into your computer and use your personal data.

    Utorrent is pure spyware and it's just a back door for major companies to hack into your computer, you can even spot that by simply looking at the TCP/IP traffic on your connection, or simply read the terms of use especially the point number 7. It's used by people that wants to be tracked and don't care about nothing. Just use anything but utorrent or any bittorent product.

You may not have Wine set as a default. You can right click on it and go to properties and Open With. You also have to hit other applications and select the version of Wine that you want to use.

My shortcut to open utorrent runs wine /home/<myuser>/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/uTorrent/utorrent_2.0.4.exe /NOINSTALL

I forget where I found that out from, but if I remember correctly it didn't work without the /NOINSTALL switch.

Obviously you'll need to change which exe it runs as mine is utorrent version 2.0.4.
