You cannot install utorrent from the Ubuntu repos as this programme doesn't work natively on Linux. You can use it via Wine, though.
You can follow the uTorrent under Ubuntu in 3 Easy Steps tutorial:
Step 1 - Install Wine
Step 2 - Download and Execute uTorrent
Step 3 - Create a desktop shortcut for the uTorrent application.
I would suggest you to open Ubuntu Software Center. Search for 'qBittorrent', and install. I found it far better than utorrent (miu-torrent). All the best.
