Hi I have been trying to download a p2p programme, but am struggling. I was sent to azureus and I already have java, I have opened the files, but cannot activate the programme. I would appreciate any help possible as I am new to linux and I am struggling. Thanks!!!

I just found your post in the other section. (Don't double post! Important information doesn't get shared.) From that post I figured out that you are using an Acer Aspire, which runs Linpus Lite. Linpus is based off of Fedora, so it uses 'yum' as the package manager. So, to install Azureus, you should open a terminal and enter the following command:[code=xml]sudo yum install azureus[/code]It will prompt you for a password, and then install everything. There is probably also a graphical way to do this, but I have no idea what Linpus is like.

Hi thobbs, thanks for info, how do i open a terminal? sorry but really new at all this. Thanks again!

gwalker, try to install transmission, if you're a casual user of torrent it's a better option in my opinion. Once you find the terminal (should be in the applications menu somewhere - assuming Linpus has an applications menu) type: sudo yum install transmission If you're looking for a e-mule-like p2p program, you're better off with frostwire. Probably you'll have to download it from their website (it seems frostwire can also deal with bittorrent, so you wouldn't need transmission or vuze =) ) http://www.frostwire.com/?id=thanks&os=redhat
