The repository version (from Add/Remove) is 3.1 and whilst I can d/l the package for 4.0.0.4 or whatever, and can make it run, I can't seem to upgrade the installed version to the newest one!

Vuze itself d/ls the updated version but then just asks to restart in a loop, it doesn't actually seem to install itself for some reason.

Help!
 
Why are you upgrading, there a feature you like, or annoying bug fixed? Stick with the reliability if the answer was no and no (can you tell I'm a debian fan).

Did you remove the older one 1st? Did you install with super user permissions?

I always use the latest versions of software if I can. Aside from Office 2007 on XP which I hate :(
 
How do I replace the existing Vuze install with the latest install from the web site? Exact procedure and syntax please.

I'm guessing you use ubuntu (add/remove feature).

try

Code:
# sudo apt-get autoremove vuze

Or whatever the name is for the Vuze package (check 1st).

Then install a suitable package from the Vuze site, looks like a tarball, not sure if it's self extracting or ./configure && make && make install. Might I suggest using "checkinstall" rather than "make install".
