Steps to reproduce

Execute add PPA commands on noble machine.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:qbittorrent-team/qbittorrent-stable
sudo apt update

Additional context

Ubuntu 24.04 has officially been launched today, as detailed here. Given that Noble is now an official release of Ubuntu, it's expected to attract an increasing number of users shortly. Therefore, creating a package for Noble should be considered a priority.

last time it nearly took 3 months for the devs from qbittorrent to add a ppa for the new ubuntu release... so is there maybe any workaround to install already now the newest qbittorrent(-nox) on noble ?

Indeed, you can use the workaround I previously mentioned before in jammy release: #16923 (comment). Simply edit the PPA's source list file, switching 'noble' with 'devel'. This should allow you to install the latest version of qBittorrent on Noble.

Our maintainer @sledgehammer999 will look after this when they are ready/available.

Builds are up. Can you test? I didn't bother to name libtorrent with the t64 suffix. I think it should work as-is too.

Sure. It seems to work seamlessly on my machine.

Fixed. It is working in my 24.04 docker image now, wasn't working this morning.
