How to upgrade Deluge BitTorrent client in Ubuntu Lucid
Deluge is a BitTorrent client available for Linux, Unix, Windows and Mac OS X. It is my preferred client for Ubuntu. Unfortunately, the version (1.2.0) included in the repositories for Lucid doesn’t want to stay running for more than half an hour on my machine.
The quick and simple fix is to add the Deluge team’s PPA (personal package archive) to the list of repositories in Ubuntu’s package management system.
- In a terminal, run
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deluge-team/ppa - Now update your list of software sources by running
sudo aptitude update - If you already have Deluge installed, upgrade to the newer version by running
sudo aptitude safe-upgrade. If not, runsudo aptitude install deluge.
Now you have Deluge 1.2.1 installed and it should keep running till you tell it to stop.
