1. The official PPAs URL changed.
2. Run qbt from terminal. If you get an output(after it crashes) similar to the one described here:

stack trace:
  /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 : ()+0x321e0  [0x7f656b10b1e0]
  /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 : RC4()+0x87  [0x7f656dce7e47]
Segmentation fault

Then use the solutions mentioned here: http://qbforums.shiki.hu/index.php/topi ... ml#msg7992
Hint: It is a libtorrent 0.15.x bug.

Will do...Thank You.

You are correct. The workarounds are probably in one of the sub-linked bugs.

This happens when you choose to encrypt the connections. Somehow, libtorrent passes wrong parameters to openssl which make it crash. So you  can do one of the following:
1. Update to libtorrent 0.16.x(probably via a 3rd party ppa), you'll most probably need to used a qbittorrent package built against 0.16.x
2. Update to a newer distro/ubuntu
3. Go to qbt settings and disable the encryption for the connections.

Would the "libtorrent rasterbar7 0.16.19 work from the repos?

[sledgehammer_999]

Yes, but you'll have to make sure that the "qbittorrent" package depends on libtorrent-rasterbar7(=libtorrent 0.16.x) and not libtorrent-rasterbar6(= 0.15.x).
If it doesn't then it means it is compiled against 0.15.x and you'll need to recompile.

Thanks for all the help,...so far,so good.
