@Dave
It seems your machine is behind proxy, you need to import your proxy settings this way..
Make sure to replace username, password, host and port in the above settings and after that run the following command to add PPA.

Are you sure you’ve added PPA? It doesn’t seem to be updating with ‘apt-get update’.
Thanks DaveM. Was wondering what the heck was going on. Still 3.0.11 on Ubuntu 13.10
Worked for me on Mint Maya, no problems at all
This instructions currently are not valid… Hydr0g3n ppa repositories (stable or trunk) they not contain any valid deb file of qbittorrent for Ubuntu Saucy (13.10)… Just a remind to anyone out there wondering why they cant update their qbittorrent 3.0.11 version from the official ubuntu repositories…
Hydr0g3n ppa (qbittorrent) stable or trunk are broken for ubuntu 13.10…
Hi,
I am the current qBittorrent maintainer.
Are you sure that the .debs from the PPA don’t work for 13.10? The PPA shows that the debs have built ok for it.
I don’t actually have 13.10 to test. Could you come to our forums and detail what does not work?
Thank you.
