How do I install uTorrent?

I have been trying to install utorrent on fedora 16 so that I can use the magnet links that allow me to download from pirate bay for a while now and I can't figure it out. I have searched online for help and they always tell me to use the command wget when I am typing the address of the utorrent server but the terminal always says that it is a unknown command, any help?

Thanks

wget has to be installed from the repo before you can use it.

Code:
su -
(root password)

yum install wget

Don't feel like a total retard. It takes time and using things to learn... You can't be expected to know everything, and wget is one of those commands that a lot of things tell you to use, but none really tell you that you need to install it first.

Somewhat surprising it is not part of the default software set given it's wide and varied usage

Since Fedora is a mostly volunteer community, someone must decide to package and maintain it. There are other bt clients available in the repos.

This already deviated to another topic...I installed an Xfce spin and IIRC wget came with it.

As for BT, it comes with Transmission (and while I'm no torrent freak, so to speak, doesn't it work with those kind of files?).
