Recently one of my friends shifted to Ubuntu and couldn’t install uTorrent Server. One note, folks, please always paste the full error message that you receive, there’s a reason why that error popped on your screen; so that you can fix it!
Okay, so here goes:
~/Downloads.Now open up a terminal, and navigate to the Downloads folder.
nits@excalibur:~$ cd ~/Downloads/
nits@excalibur:~/Downloads$ ls -l utorrent-server-3.0-ubuntu-10.10-27079.tar.gz
-rw-rw-r-- 1 nits nits 1561244 Feb 18 12:36 utorrent-server-3.0-ubuntu-10.10-27079.tar.gz
Extract the package, and switch to the extracted directory
nits@excalibur:~/Downloads$ tar -zvxf utorrent-server-3.0-ubuntu-10.10-27079.tar.gz
