The Good thing is that Ubuntu actually provides downloads via torrents.
#How to open a torrent file on ubuntu download#
Just know that with torrents, you can download a large file in a number of sessions. I am not going to discuss what torrent is in this quick tutorial. If you also suffer from limited data or slow internet connection, using a download manager or torrent would be a better option. Direct download may take several hours for slow internet connections Downloading Ubuntu via Torrent The download may be interrupted several times in the process or may take several hours. However, if you have a slow or inconsistent internet connection, you’ll have a difficult time downloading such a big file. The direct download works well for people with high-speed internet connection. Ubuntu is available as a single image of more than 2.5 GB in size. Click on the desktop download section, select the appropriate Ubuntu version and hit the download button.

It is pretty cool to download all normal files much faster than a typical browser could do, and also be able to do torrents.įYI: You do get more control over torrents using a torrent application (client), like file verification and the ability to choose which network adapter like "tun0" for forcing the download through your VPN connection.Downloading Ubuntu is pretty straightforward. Update: "uGet" does seem to be resuming downloads that were interrupted, that's good perhaps I just needed to restart my computer after installing this. My internet connection was interrupted during the download and I had to restart, and uGet did not seem to restart a torrent download where it left off like most torrent clients would? Perhaps I am missing a setting somewhere.

It took about a full minute before my torrent download starting downloading on my ancient under-powered computer, but once it started, it was fast. After doing that torrents work and there are right-click torrent options available from the uGet tray icon, and if you right-click a torrent link on a webpage like the Linux Mint download page torrent link, you can select "Download with uGet". Start uGet which puts an icon in the system tray panel (might want to add it to the startup applications), right-click uGet and choose Settings, click Plug-in category on left, and on the right change the plugin matching order to "curl+aria2" and click ok.

I installed it from the repo because the most recent versions listed on uget's site are for the 17.x series and I'm on 18.2 even after I installed aria2, however, the options for starting a torrent are still greyed out.Ĭode: Select all sudo apt install uget-chrome-wrapper I checked my package manager and it turned out I didn't have aria2 installed. I usually do use Transmission for torrents and wget/curl for regular downloads (when not wanting to use the browser), but I found the possibility of using one app for everything intriguing.
