See ["Azureus"]. Debian provides many BitTorrent clients. Use {{{apt-cache search bittorrent}}} to get the list (or search on [[https://packages.debian.org]]).

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:
 * [[Transmission]] - a popular and lightweight BitTorrent client, providing GTK, QT, command-line and web interfaces.
 * 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.

Related may be BTCompleteDir and BTCompleteDirGUI. However, I'm not sure I'd recommend them:{{{
