An Awesome Torrent Application for your ubuntu That Support web and have a nice webGUI

Deluge is a full-featured BitTorrent client for Linux, OS X, Unix and Windows. It uses libtorrent in it's backend and features multiple user-interfaces including: GTK+, web and console. It has been designed using the client server model with a daemon process that handles all the bittorrent activity. The Deluge daemon is able to run on headless machines with the user-interfaces being able to connect remotely from any platform.

Deluge features a rich plugin collection; in fact, most of Deluge's functionality is available in the form of plugins.

Deluge was created with the intention of being lightweight and unobtrusive. It is our belief that downloading shouldn't be the primary task on your computer and therefore shouldn't monopolize system resources.

here is some screenshoot on how it looks on ubuntu 10.4 and also show a webgui screenshoot







to download it inside your ubuntu just copy and paste the following 2 lines in your terminal

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deluge-team/ppa

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install deluge
