As with any major version upgrade for software, Transmission 2.1 will not be coming to the Ubuntu repos.

But you  can always install the latest version from the official Transmission PPA on Launchpad.

Open Konsole / Terminal.

Type the below command:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:transmissionbt/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

You should get the upgrade to Transmission 2.1. :)

It adds many new features, the big ones being magnet support and support for µTP protocol (bittorrent over UDP) along with many bug fixes.

Users of Kubuntu / Ubuntu Lucid will not be getting the new version automatically but as always you can install the new version from a Launchpad PPA. :)

Note – Before proceeding ensure that you have added the Kubuntu Updates PPA. You can add the PPA by using:

apt-add-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/ppa

Open Konsole and type the following commands in sequence:

    

  • apt-add-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
    • 

  • aptitude update
    • 

  • aptitude full-upgrade
    •

You should see KTorrent 4.0 in the updates list. Enjoy the new version.
