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:

Hint: It is a libtorrent 0.15.x bug.

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?

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.
