The command you type is wrong...

Might be interested of upgrading Azureus using getdeb https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/azureus/+question/22546

There is a bug about Azureus update this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/azureus/+bug/301189

Hope this helps

Thanks for all your help guys but I had down loaded (Vuze_4.1.0.4_linux.tar.bz2) read the READ ME file and I Didn't understand it but... It reads like this

RUNNING:
1. Extract the contents of this .tar.bz2 file.
2. Change to the 'azureus' directory where the files were extracted.
3. Start Azureus by running the script named 'azureus'; ex. "./azureus"

How can i do all this when there is no azureus file on my computer...

Please help cos i am really stuck

Here another method to get an Azureus installation directly without any deb... and to get a self upgradable Azureus

http://forlong.blogage.de/en/entries/2008/12/2/How-to-install-and-update-Vuze-formerly-Azureus-4-on-Ubuntu

It works fine...

Hope this helps
