I'm fairly new to Ubuntu/Linux and qBittorrent, but think they are both great.
I have 2 questions that I could not find answers for in the Wiki or FAQ's.
Is it not possible to run versions past V2.2.6 on Ubuntu 9.10?
My machine doesn't like anything past 9.10.
My RSS feed seems to fill up (to 50) and not take any more feeds in. I've changed the preferences from 50 to 100, and it seems to be working again, but is there a way to clear the old RSS feeds? I've checked them as read, but that just grey's them out.
Thanks Fred.

Re: Ubuntu Update, RSS feeds
Sure, it is possible but you will have to compile qBittorrent manually.
It should be pretty easy:
# Get qBittorrent build dependencies
sudo apt-get build-dep qbittorrent
# Remove the version of qBittorrent provided by Ubuntu Karmic
sudo apt-get remove qbittorrent
# Install Subversion
sudo apt-get install subversion
# Download qBittorrent sources
svn co https://qbittorrent.svn.sourceforge.net ... hes/v2_6_x qbittorrent
# Compile qBittorrent
cd qbittorrent
./configure --prefix=/usr && make -j2
# Install qBittorrent
sudo make install

Re: Ubuntu Update, RSS feeds
Thanks for the reply. I'm a Linux noob, but I did manage to get it updated.
I'm still having some trouble with my RSS feeds. As I'm sure you know, it doesn't fill up as I suspected, but for some reason it's not showning all of the RSS feeds. If I compare the RSS Feed listing in qBittorrent to the same RSS feed in an RSS Reader, some of the feeds in qBittorrent are missing. I'm not sure if it's the feed, the machine or what.
Is there a log file for the RSS feed, besides whats in the Execution log? I think it's either not fetching the feed during one of its 10 minute intervals, not parsing correctly, or maybe the feed is being rejected intermittently...?
Also, did the feature to mimic another client (like uTorrent) get moved or deleted? I can't seem to find it in the latest GUI.

This might be a parsing problem. Could you give me the URL so that I can debug?

Yes, it was permanently dropped to comply with trackers' admins requests.

Re: Ubuntu Update, RSS feeds
The RSS feed is from RevolutionTT, a private tracker, and the URL has my passkey in it.
Would screen shot or something else help?

Re: Ubuntu Update, RSS feeds
Well, I don't actually need the URL. If you download the RSS xml file and send it to me (chris at qbittorrent.org), this works too.

Re: Ubuntu Update, RSS feeds
Well I've been waiting till I see that it missed a few of the RSS feeds and it hasn't.
I think I recently upgraded from 2.6.0 to 2.6.3, could that have done the trick?
I'll keep an eye on it and if I find it missed something, I'll send you the xml of the feed.

Do you know if these instructions are still valid? I'm getting a notice "svn: Repository moved temporarily to 'http://qbittorrent.svn.sourceforge.net/'; please relocate" - So I tried to replace the url stated in your instructions with the url provided in the notice from Ubuntu, and it gives me this: "svn: OPTIONS of 'http://qbittorrent.svn.sourceforge.net': Could not read status line: Connection reset by peer (http://qbittorrent.svn.sourceforge.net)"
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
