It depends on what you want. KTorrent is a light-weight qt based client while Azureus is written in java and also available for linux. Installing a bit torrent client varies per distro. Usually you'll use your system's package manager to install the software (Ubuntu probably has both these packages). Otherwise, you have to compile it from source (or with Azureus just extract and run the script to launch).

ubuntu has a built in bittorrent client (gnome-bt) and it is easy to install Azureus or any other client you want though synaptic.

I have a seperate file server at home, that I added Apache and MySQL to it and use the web-based Torrentflux.

My favorite now is rtorrent - fully console based and works well with screen. Perfect for controlling your downloads via SSH.

I don't use Ubuntu but I'm assuming installation is just a simple apt-get command.

As sourceninja said, install gnome-bt through Synaptic on Ubuntu. It can't get easier than this.

I think uTorrent works on Linux. Not 100% sure though...

That would require WINE which is stupid considering how many BT clients there already are that work natively on Linux.
