  Did you happen to try the step by step instructions provided five (6 including this one) posts ago? If so, and it did NOT work, please provide some additional details as to where things went wrong. . .

    In case anyone else runs in to this same issue, I was able to answer my own question (since no one else chimed in). Here is how I did it:
    Upload qbittorrentr6_3.3.0_amd64.deb to a directory on the NAS of your choosing (I used /root)
    (Credit to h3nk3t for this idea from and earlier post) apt-get purge qbittorrent-nox (removes remnants of version 1.03)
    apt-get install qbittorrent-nox (updates qbittorrent-nox to version 2.9.x)
    dpkg -i qbittorrentr6_3.3.0_amd64.deb apt-get install -f <--- I'm not a Linux Guru, so I'm not sure that last part was required
    Profit !!!
