When I use sudo apt-get install Deluge in the terminal it sends me this error:
ghost@ghost-laptop:~$ sudo apt-get install deluge
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package deluge
ghost@ghost-laptop:~$

Not only does it do this with deluge but also with other various programs trying to download in terminal.

Please help!!

Actually the package's name is deluge-torrent, thus you need to do

sudo apt-get install deluge-torrent
But make sure that go to System -> Administration -> Software Sources and check if you have all the repositories enabled (except Proposed, you don't need to have this enabled).

You can use `apt-cache search` to find pacakges. Also, you may just want to hook up the deluge PPA:
