Install qBittorrent in Ubuntu
To install qBittorrent in Ubuntu 13.04 or 12.10, use the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:hydr0g3n/qbittorrent-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qbittorrentThe Ubuntu 13.10 package failed to build but if you don't want to wait until this is fixed, you can manually download the Ubuntu 13.04 package from the PPA and install it (tested on my laptop running Ubuntu 13.10). Unfortunately there are no packages for the latest qBittorrent 3.1.0 for Ubuntu 12.04.
Arch Linux users can install the latest qBittorrent via AUR.
For other Linux distributions, Windows and Mac OS X, see the qBittorrent downloads page.

qBittorrent is a BitTorrent client that aims to provide a free software alternative to μTorrent, available for Linux, Windows, Mac OS X and FreeBSD.
The application comes with an integrated search engine, web interface, sequential download support, bandwidth scheduler, advanced RSS support with download filters, torrent creation tool, IP filtering and other useful features.
Changes in qBittorrent 3.2.0:
- qBittorrent can now be built using Qt5;
- WebUI code rewritten, refactored and improved;
- support per tracker re-announce (needs libtorrent 1.0);
- episode filtering for RSS;
- support saving in network locations;
- highlight files when opening containing folder on Windows and Linux (Nautilus, Dolphin and Konqueror);
- added option to hibernate computer in Auto-Shutdown menu;

The complete qBittorrent 3.2.0 changelog is huge - for a complete list, see THIS page.
With this release, qBittorrent no longer supports Qt versions older than 4.8.0 and libtorrent 0.15.x. Because Ubuntu 12.04 has libtorrent-rasterbar 0.15.10, the official qBittorrent PPA doesn't provide packages for this Ubuntu version.
Also, it's important to mention that the packages available in the official qBittorrent Ubuntu PPA are built with Qt4 for now.
Download qBittorrent
Ubuntu 15.04, 14.10 and 14.04 / Linux Mint 17.1 and 17 users can install the latest qBittorrent by using its official stable PPA. Add the PPA and install the app using the following commands:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:qbittorrent-team/qbittorrent-stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install qbittorrent
