Install Transmission 1.61

[mocka]

Hi, is there any way to install the new Transmission 1.61? When I try to install through terminal (which I have to since I've got Ubuntu Server), with sudo apt-get install transmission-cli, I only get the 1.51 version.

Thanks in advance for answers.

You can get transmission 1.61 from the ppa repos:
https://launchpad.net/~transmissionbt/+archive/ppa

uh, this is only for developershttps://launchpad.net/~bortis/+archive/ppa

Thank you. Anyhow, I'm all new to using the PPA repositories and have some trouble with adding the key. In the tutorial they say the key is something like "B0BE17C2A0C914F086B7B8327D2C7A23BF810CD5", though I can only find a key that looks like this: "1024R/F45955CE". What should I do?

Click the key link on the repository's launchpad page and you get the full key (in this case it's a36aeec13a6f1a9edeb4b518fca4a9d8f45955ce).

usually is enough to use the last 8 hexadecimal digits:

sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com F45955CE

you can also click the link (1024R/F45955CE (http://keyserver.ubuntu.com:11371/pks/lookup?search=0xA36AEEC13A6F1A9EDEB4B518FCA4A9D8F4 5955CE&op=index)) to get the full key id:

Thanks, it worked like a charm.

Next time just go to getdeb.net and download a deb file, easy install with two clicks.

Repositories are even better. Bit more work the first time but after that you'll always have the latest available version without doing anything..

I'd take a decent repository over single .deb package on a web site any day. :D

(That being said, getdeb.net is a great site.)

This PPA suggests to use another one:

Private repository. The repository is used only for developing and quality management purpose. If you search for transmission [Bittorrent client] binaries, please have a look at https://launchpad.net/~transmissionbt/+archive/ppa and use these binaries instead!

I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
