It worked perfectly fine for me. I have Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit. Thank you so much kavitha. This video helped me out big time. This video is not unvalid, it's legitimate and if it didn't work, then the problem is you.

It worked perfectly on Xubuntu 18.04, thank's a lot man

I'm a linux rookie so I just copy/paste all your command lines. However there was an issue with step 8 to do with missing file. I skipped step 8 and it worked fine.

6) Run the below command to move to the opt directory
cd /opt/
Now extract the tar file by typing the below code
sudo tar -xvf utserver.tar.gz
7)Now delete the extracted tar file
sudo rm -rf utserver.tar.gz
8) Run the following command to extract the downloaded file to /opt directory
sudo tar -zxvf utserver.tar.gz -C /opt/

Step 6 is the tar extraction. Step 7 is removing the tar file. Step 8 is an attempted extraction on the file we just removed in step 7?

Dear kN, for step 13, did you enter anything in the password bar after entering username: 'admin'? I entered 'admin' and left the password blank and simply got a white screen in Chrome. And now I can't seem to get Chrome to display the username/password login box again. should I have entered my computer's password at that point? If so, how can I get back to this login box? Thanks.

I cannot connect to localhost:8080/gui. ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. Would you help me?

[Hellspawn]

Is it me of is that utorrent running from browser? Why isn't it kind of standalone app like the windows version? Hopefully I made sense!

[nowalubega]

[teddybeerlepel]

Step 5 did not work for me. cp: cannot stat 'utserver.tar.gz': No such file or directory

[animewatcher]

I get this error on step 10
"ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘/usr/bin/utserver’: File exists"
I skipped step 8 since the file was already there and the command did not find the directory mentioned.
