How can I install deluge and have it use a newer version of libtorrent? I noticed currently when I install it it uses 15.7, but the newest libtorrent is 15.9. Im a bit of a rook with linux. Ive tried downloading 15.9 and installing it via ./configure and then make, but deluge still shows its using 15.7.

You have not said which distro but if you are using Ubuntu then simply install from the PPA: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Inst ... nux/Ubuntu

Also for Deluge you need to build the libtorrent python bindings: http://www.rasterbar.com/products/libto ... nding.html

Sorry... yep, Ubuntu. I have installed from the PPA via apt-get install deluge. This leaves me with libtorrent version 0.15.7... at least when I type in deluge --version.

Did you do this:
Add Deluge PPA Repository

The Deluge PPA contains the latest Deluge releases for Ubuntu.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deluge-team/ppa
sudo apt-get update
and then upgrade to install the latest libtorrent-rasterbar
sudo apt-get upgrade
