Linkage is a lightweight BitTorrent client for Linux, created using C++. It based on libtorrent and uses the GTK+ toolkit (through gtkmm). The user interface of Linkage is very similar to µTorrent. If you’re looking for native GTK+ BitTorrent client on Linux, I suggest you try this program.
Linkage has the following main features available:
1. Able to download or upload multiple torrents at the same time
2. Able to create torrent files
3. Support group management
4. Support DHT and PEX
5. Global and per-torrent speed limits
6. Ability to display detailed information
7. Proxy support
8. Support plugin system, including Notify plugin and Tray plugin
The latest version of Linkage is 0.1.4, you can get it from here. In addition, you can also find installation instructions for Linkage at here.
The following are some screenshots of Linkage.

I prefer Deluge. It’s GTK, too, and much more mature. See my review of it. http://ibeentoubuntu.blogspot.com/2007/10/install-deluge-and-enjoy-bittorrent.html

I use deluge too, and it’s very good, but judging from the screenshots, this client is promissing, I think I’m gonna wait until it is on repos and more stable
