For now, obo!

Pending will be enshrined in the Ubuntu repositories, I leave you the link to version 1.21 bittorrent client installed now by default with Ubuntu 8.04, I found on Getdeb.

For proper installation and to avoid unexpected damage, remove first manual transmission with the commands:

sudo apt-get remove transmission-common
sudo apt-get remove transmission-gtk

(Keep cool in the torrent download will not be lost)

Download now packages transmission-gtk and transmission-common and install them simply by double click.

Now in Applications / Internet you have the new Transmission-Bittorrent.

With this version there are quite a few 'new, if you're curious, I refer you to the official Website, but the first that catches your eye is that in the main screen of the program is now also time to end the download.
