However, if you're currently (2006-03-27) running Sarge/stable, Azureus doesn't exist in Sarge. Instead, you can use BitTorrent or BitTorrent-GUI. For example:
 * DebianPkg:bittorrent-gui - A BitTorrent-GUI.
 * DebianPkg:deluge - A [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_BitTorrent_clients#2015|popular]] and advanced cross-platform BitTorrent client written in Python. With GTK+, web, and console user interface.
 * DebianPkg:qbittorrent - A [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_BitTorrent_clients#2015|popular]] and advanced cross-platform alternative to µTorrent. With Qt user interface.
 * DebianPkg:transmission-gtk - A [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_BitTorrent_clients#2015|popular]] and basic BitTorrent Client using a GTK interface.
 * DebianPkg:rtorrent - A console based BitTorrent, with ncurses interface.
 * DebianPkg:transmission-daemon - A BitTorrent client daemon.
 * DebianPkg:transmission-cli - A non-interactive console interface for ''transmission-daemon''.
 * DebianPkg:transmission-remote-cli - An interactive ncurses interface for ''transmission-daemon''.
