torrent clients in linux
orrents are dependent on how many seeds there are ON LINE and what THEIR upload speeds are. If they are stuck behind a university firewall that throttles uploads, your download will suk. If they are on dial up, your downloads will suk .. even if you are a on cable at 23mbps. Just because a torrent is listed in a place like isoHunt does not mean that the torrent is available at all times.
Torrents are not stored on servers! Understand that it is peer to peer. So do not expect that all will be blazingly fast downloads.
What is Wine?
Wine" derives from the recursive acronym Wine Is Not an Emulator. Wine is a free software application that aims to allow Unix-like computer operating systems to execute programs written for Microsoft Windows. Wine also provides a software library known as Winelib against which developers can compile Windows applications to help port them to Unix-like systems. Wine is not the ideal.Not all Windows applications run in Wine. And some that do require extra configuration in order to work. Wine implements the Windows API entirely in user-space, rather than as a kernel module at the time of writing
