Hey every one.  
Last couple of weeks I am facing issue setting torrent in Ubuntu. I install torrent in my Ubuntu system easily and I am also accessing it through localhost:8080, but when I want to download any application or movie I am not understanding how to download application form torrent.  
In windows I only download torrent file or magnet download the torrent pop up open and start downloading but in ubuntu I haven’t understand yet, if any buddy have any solution kindly tell me.  
Thank you

You can use [Free Download Manager](https://www.freedownloadmanager.org/download-fdm-for-linux.htm).

It has Built-in QBittorrent, you can also perform other file downloads too, it has Youtube video download support plus conversion to mp3.

Yes, you can. It’s an alternative application for IDM in Linux.

Install it by double-clicking the deb file or run this command on the terminal where the downloaded file is stored:

`sudo dpkg -i freedownloadmanager.deb`
