qBittorrent official forums

I'm running Ubuntu 15.04 and have installed qBitorrent using the PPA from the website.  I'm on v3.2.0 but I see libtorrent is still at v0.16.  Could someone give me some info on how I can libtorrent updated?  I want to have the force_proxy option which is provided in the new version.

Thanks

Will the repos be updated and I can just wait for that?  Or did I need to build from source to get it?  I do see that the Mac and Windows builds already have the updated libtorrent library.

Also I haven't done a lot of building from source.  Should I uninstall qbt that I installed from the repo before building and installing from source?  If the repo updates afterward will I continue to get updates that way or would I need to continue building from source?  Sorry if these are noobish questions but if someone could at least point me to answers I would appreciate it.  Thanks.

Who knows, but holding your breath while that happens would probably not be a good idea.

There are two PPAs you can add to apt-get/

qBittorrent-team >> https://launchpad.net/~qbittorrent-team
and
Evgeny Lensky ( >> https://launchpad.net/~surfernsk/+archi ... t-software

The repos don't have the update and I'm having trouble building from source so I guess I'm stuck currently.

Did you miss the post about adding PPAs to your available repositories??

Yes I had added the PPA's.  Those versions have v3.2 of qbt but the libtorrent library is still on v0.16.  I was finally able to compile from source to get the newer libtorrent though.

It would be great if the PPA's could still be updated though.

Thanks

They probably will when everybody has more confidence in libtorrent 1.0.n 

OK fair enough but since the Windows builds are already using the new libtorrent it seems odd still.

Windows installations are a compiled binary installation that uses whatever libraries it was originally compiled with and were packaged with it in the 'setup' application.

OK its becoming clearing to me after a bunch of research and trail and error.  The reason I was on the old libtorrent is that Ubuntu 15.04 repos haven't rev'ed to the libtorrent versions 1.0.x yet, they are still on the v0.16+ builds since that's what it shipped with.  I was not able to find any PPA's that had the newest libtorrent versions which is why I was stuck on that version.  I was able to remove libtorrent and qBittorrent and then build from source libtorrent followed by qBittorrent and now everything is up to day.  I also discovered the checkinstall utility that creates a deb package which is used to install the packages allowing easy removal and/or updates of these packages also.
