I just told you the answer!
Install wine then install Bittorrent or uTorrent
BTW bittorrent has ported to linux and you can find it in synaptic (System -> Administration -> Synaptic Package Manager) but it is totally different to what you are used to. I would use wine to get iuTorrent.
But I just told you this. There is another good torrent downloaded that is the best linux distros have to offer which is ktorrent but it is a KDE application. It will work in gnome but will need some dependencies to do so.
Torrent isn’t a website waiting for you to download, it’s a protocol that allows you to download from other users. If there are no users currently on line with that file, or everyone with that file has the maximum number of users downloading from him, you just have to wait (sometimes for weeks or months – sometimes forever). If you want ti now, buy it. If you want it free (and illegally – you’re risking having your internet service shut off), wait for it.
