Install Rufus on Edgy from Source - 64bit ( might work on other systems )

Introduction

This page is a HowTo that explaines how to install Rufus ( A Bittorrent client similar to Azureus) in Ubuntu Edgy 64bit.

Installation

At first, install the following prerequisite packages:

• python-wxgtk2.6
• tofrodos

That can be done with a quick

sudo apt-get install tofrodos python-wxgtk2.6

or with Synaptic, of course. Then you have to get the Rufus source. Ether you download the newest source with your favorite browser from the Rufus Homepage or just do the wget like I did.

wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/rufus/Rufus_0.6.9_src.zip

Unzip the source

unzip Rufus_0.6.9_src.zip -d rufus_install 

Change DOS to Linux text format of file "install"

fromdos < install > install2 

make install2 executable

chmod +x install2

install Rufus

sudo ./install2

install an icon in menu (Applications -> Internet)

 
gedit ~/.local/share/applications/rufus.desktop

paste this text:

Name=Rufus
Comment=BitTorrent Client
Exec=/usr/bin/rufus
Icon=/usr/share/rufus/images/rufus.ico
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Application;Network;

There you go - you can now start Rufus with the command "rufus" !

Uninstallation

It should be all, if you simply remove the "~/.local/share/applications/rufus.desktop" file and the "/usr/share/rufus" folder. But since I didn't uninstall, I don't know...

Configuration

• You definitively have to change the value for maximum connections under Options -> Preferences -> Transfer Options -> Connections. The default seems very low...

If you have any hints on the configuration, feel free to add :)
