Auto Shutdown, Batch Renamer, Folder Browser, etc., just to name a few.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Well, enough praises of Deluge. How do you go about installing it on Ubuntu 14.06 \/ 16.04? Let&#8217;s get to it!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Install Deluge client on Ubuntu<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Since Deluge is not part of the standard Ubuntu packaging, we need to add an external repository (called &#8216;PPA&#8217;s in Ubuntu world) to the system. So, move to the command line and type:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deluge-team\/ppa<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Press Enter to continue when prompted, and you&#8217;ll soon have the PPA added.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Next up, we should update our package manager cache so that it becomes aware of the newly added PPA:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>$ sudo apt update<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Note: Ubuntu 14.04 users will need to use <strong>`apt-get`<\/strong> instead of `apt`, because the apt system received a major upgrade in 16.04 and newer commands were added. The old `apt-get` still works fine in 16.04, but the command in the example is now the accepted way.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Depending on your Internet connection, this might take a few seconds or more. Once the list of packages is updated, simply install Deluge:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>$ sudo apt install deluge<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And soon enough, you&#8217;re done.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To access the Deluge client, go to the Unity search bar and type &#8216;deluge&#8217;:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cheapwindowsvps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Picture1.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-196 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/cheapwindowsvps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Picture1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"858\" height=\"387\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cheapwindowsvps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Picture1.png 858w, https:\/\/cheapwindowsvps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Picture1-300x135.png 300w, https:\/\/cheapwindowsvps.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Picture1-768x346.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 858px) 100vw, 858px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;re a BitTorrent user on Ubuntu, you&#8217;re very likely looking for a good BitTorrent client.
