The best thing to do is to move it into your Linux system and then go into your torrent client and have it open it

so will want to move them from /windows/C to some place in your Linux system and then in your torrent program (Mine is KTorrrent) File open and then take it to the directory that you placed it in. Should work although I haven't tired.

You can also try to run your windows torrent app from Linux, Don't know if you can do it in Ubuntu with out wine or not, my friend did in SuSE) and finish up your download with that.

The system will be able to read the NTFS file system which is all you need it to do inorder to move a file from Windows to Linux.

Ok new rule, at least for this subforum, if you are going to reffer someone to wikipedia or something give them the link to a page that has the information they need to know

So here are some links
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torrent
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_(client)

Use ntfs-3g or Ubuntu Gutsy can do read/write operations to NTFS safely.

You could also use a FUSE file system driver to have full read/write access to an ntfs partition.

I find a lot of distros are using FUSE to get read and write access to NTFS out of the box now.

Interesting o.O Out of the box Well if anything it must work good probably still a little buggy what development stage is it?

SUSE started it back in 10.3, you had to change some settings in mtab to enable it though, but with 11.0 it is enabled by default, and the only problem is that it does not like to work with Fista's NTFS-FS but that is fixed by remounting the drive and changing mtab, don't know the exact options needed but if you need it I can copy my desktops Mtab.
