The particular OS in question is Linux Mint 18.3, but this should be a generic question covering most of Linuxes.
The Vuze torrent downloader for Windows or Mac makes it easy. After reading the installation steps of Vuze from the official website on Linux, I need to install it properly, as the instructions are rather short and incomplete. Although it is a complete bittorrent downloader, the Vuze program maintains a lightweight footprint, doesn't slow your computer down, and quickly downloads torrents. So far this program will be all I need for the near future for torrenting.and to lose. The Vuze Bittorrent Client is an end-to-end software application for all your torrent needs. Hope you like frogs!! all the stored files are blue frogs great way to keep track of what you have.the download window isnt as good as utorrent on seeing download progress.but thats picky!!! the search is excellent+v.fast.results come divided into results for vuse and external websites. Through Vuse we can search and download torrent with powerful HD content and video, music and games, and convert all video format to playable format that recognize by your device ( PC, Mac, iPhone, iPod, Apple TV, Xbox 360 and PS3).
In the options tab under "mode" there are three interface options (default beginner)intermediate and advanced.very useful if like me you are new to the program. Vuze originally known as Azureus is a cross-platform BitTorrent client written in Java, Vuze is application with rich of features. on install do not make vuse the default unless you want it to take over all your torrent files.I have not as yet found an option to undo this !! I started downloading torrents using utorrent (see my review) and then decided to go to the next level with vuze.1st observation.
