As you may know, Lince is a lightweight C++ / GTK torrent client, that uses the bittorrent protocol and gtkmm as an interface.

Because Lince is available via the GetDeb repository, installing it on Ubuntu and Linux Mint is easy. Follow this steps for a successful installation:

Download and install the GetDeb repo:

$ wget http://archive.getdeb.net/install_deb/getdeb-repository_0.1-1~getdeb1_all.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i getdeb-repository_0.1-1~getdeb1_all.deb

Update the local repo index:
