Already tried adding the Kubuntu PPA (Which tipically worked for past ktorrent versions (I always use Ktorrent because of several advantages) and it still appears like 4.0.5 in the repositories. What can i do to install the latest version?

NOTE - Also tried this PPA https://launchpad.net/~jon-severinsson/+archive/ktorrent/+packages but i recommend not to use it since it gave me some crazy problems, like instead of upgrading ktorrent it deleted it and then did not let me install it.

1)Install kde desktop as a session; in synaptic kde-standard : enter image description here

2)Then in Konsole; kde terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ferramroberto/natty

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Source

Note:This will not install ktorrent yet.

3)Go back to Ubuntu; install ktorrent from the software center or click here.

4)Don't open the program in ubuntu.First switch to the kde session and open it.

5)Then return to ubuntu and now you have Ktorrent 4.1.1 in Ubuntu!! :D

However, @Lekensteyn, he wants a different version for whatever reasons, you may have to compile it yourself to get the version you want.

If the update method as shown above doesn't work, then you could try sudo apt-get remove Ktorrent in the terminal.
