Now that I've got my N54L micro server set up with 2012 essentials and upgraded my ram and drives etc I'm ready to think about how I'm going to do my downloading.

I normally browse for torrents on my Ubuntu Laptop and I want to copy the torrent over to a mapped drive that a torrent client is watching. uTorrent can do this but it just doesn't work so I wanted to use another client that actually works.

So can anyone recommend one that works?

Also I've been thinking that it might be safer/convenient to have a vm that I snapshot after building and use that to do my torrent browsing as if I do manage to get an virus I can just revert it. I'm a bit worried about running uTorrent on the server and infecting the actual server!

So how do you lot do it?

Not really interested in using newsgroups at the moment either, I used to use it but sick of all the incomplete downloads.
