I use bittorent for linux in two machines, one compiled from source in 
Slackware (by the way, in a TP600E) and the other installed using apt 
tools in Debian (in a HP/PA-RISC machine), and work good in both cases, 
using console (btdownloadcurses) or X (btdownloadgui).

I am not behind a firewall.
