Comment 31 for bug 301189

Azureus updates via torrent files. Not sure how torrents work with the Ubuntu package manager. I guess there's deb torrent for that, now; but running two torrent clients.....not me like, my bad(: . I prefer to get my everything via torrent, so a direct download via source list would not be an ideal solution. There might be other issues related to the torrent based updates, too.

And aren't there issues with installing programs outside of the package management system? I think I remember a recommendation to uninstall before a distro upgrade...maybe that was Alberto Milone's Envy graphics driver program.

Just adding a .deb package to the repository manually would be a problem? Azureus would update itself normally but the repo, I guess, would not reflect any of the changes. Seems like that would be the easiest solution, but maybe that's full circle back to where we started and why doesn't the repo package update properly. If Azureus simply provided a .deb at their website and you added that manually to the package manger, would that also fail to update I wonder. If I had to add each new update manually, I wouldn't really care. Not a huge deal. That way I could still download via torrent and the repo would reflect the versions correctly.

Thanks for noodling on this Aaron.

Thanks all!

Be real, be sober.
