... Lolwut? Are we talking the same uTorrent here? It's always been freeware, and people who were able to configure WINE properly have been able to use uTorrent with no problems on Linux. I'm not one of those people, though.

There's a reason why most people on BBT use uTorrent. And it's definitely not the bugs.

a freeware doesn't make a free software.
And wine isn't what we could call a native port...

Freeware is... free. So yes, it's a free software. If you don't pay money for it, it's free.

But that's beside the point. There is still no official uTorrent port designed to run on Linux systems as a regular client. However, there is a server version of uTorrent made for Linux. And so, keep uTorrent out of this discussion, unless you are talking about the server version.

Oh I didn't know this. Thanks for the clarification.

To quote a somewhat famous person: "Free" as in "free speech", not as in "free beer".

Just because it doesn't cost you any money doesn't mean it's "free", at best it's "for free".

The discussion of "free software" is a bit out of scope for this thread.  Let's keep on subject, please.
