In my Ubuntu system I've installed azureus to download my torrent files.

I have to say that at first I tried Bittorrent download manager but I wasn't satisfied at all !

Then I installed azureus from the Synaptic Package Manager.

Azureus is the top torrent client. I had a problem though.

Azureus crashed at unexpected times, without some reason. It crashed when downloading only one file.

I must say that after it's first crash, when loading it again it crashed at start. It won't even load this time.

After some serious search, I found that the log files and the lock file made it crash.

So I tried these commands:

rm .azureus/.lock

rm .azureus/logs/save/*

rm .azureus/logs/*.log

These lines worked, at least for some time. I was very happy that I 've solved the problem and now could download my torrents without interruption.

But it wasn't fixed. Azureus crashed again and again and again.

So the SOLUTION (after lot of searching) was to

A friend of my friend asked if there was a linux distribution (distro) that is easy to use, to learn without any complicated installations and configurations.

My friend you are very lucky. Yes there is ! Try Ubuntu Linux. There isn't more simple installation (as far as I know) as Ubuntu's. It's free, easy to use and if you have an adsl line you can download more software. But there is more !
