Hello all linux users...
i've found a way to run ratiomaster under linux almost as native linux program...
Here is how to do it:
First, get the newest wine version: WineHQ - Wine Binary Downloads (http://www.winehq.org/download/)
to check your wine version type in terminal: wine --version
at the moment wine-1.1.27 is the newest version so make sure you have it.
Secondly, get Winetricks from here: winetricks - The Official Wine Wiki (http://wiki.winehq.org/winetricks)
follow the instructions on the wiki on how to install it...
than open winetricks and choose:
dotnet20 MS .NET 2.0 (requires Windows license) - you don't really need one, don't worry...
corefonts MS Arial, Courier, Times fonts
make sure you also have this packge in your packge manager: libmono-db2-1.0-cil
it's may take some time for winetricks to finish the install of Net.Framework you going to see alot of erros but don't worry it will be successful at the end. do not choose do download the dotnet30 winetricks will not be successful and RatioMaster will not work.
when winetricks finishes install Net.Framework you selcted just download ratiomaster and run it with wine.
when you open first RatioMaster under wine you probaly going to see a different language from what installed on your computer...
first, close RatioMaster...
than go to the install folder and find the folder called: lng
delete all the files from there beside the file of your language, for example if you want english language than just delete the rest of the files and leave the file 1english.lng there.
OK, now to your question - does ratiomaster fully works on linux? well this is what i tested so far:
What Works:
SHA Hash
Tracker
Control Upload/Download Speed
Manual Update
Tray Icon
Tray Icon Notification on mouse hover
Language
Client simulate
TCP listener
What Does Not:
well... almost everything works great but the only thing is not working is the drag & drop torrent files to the program but that's a very small issues.
i guess one picture worth a thousand words so there it is RatioMaster 1.88 under Ubuntu Linux:

NOTE:
1. you don't really have to have the newest version of wine i think, i'm not sure but i think winetricks will also install net.framework on wine 1.01 but keep in mind that there alot of bugs fix in new version.
2. you don't need corefonts, i succussed even without it but maybe this is because i already have all the microsoft fonts installed in my system...
Happy Leeching for all! :biggrin:
ohh... and sorry for my bad english...
