Help installing resilio-sync

I have a 64-bit desktop PC running Ubuntu 16.04. I decided that I wanted to discontinue relying on cloud drives and start using a torrent sync among multiple local hard drives. This way, I won't have to pay an annual premium for a sizable capacity for my music and photos. Previously, this was bittorrent sync or btsync, but it seems to be now called resilio-sync. So, I followed the following instructions located here: .

I followed the section for Ubuntu. I copied and pasted the selection box with the following commands,

echo "deb resilio-sync non-free" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/resilio-sync.list
wget -qO - | sudo apt-key add -
sudo dpkg --add-architecture armhf
sudo apt-get update

I then did

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and added the following at the bottom of the file:

deb [arch=armhf] resilio-sync non-free

NOTE: This is where my problem is. Whenever I sudo apt-get update I get:

Err:31 xenial-security/main armhf Packages
404 Not Found [IP: 2001:67c:1562::16 80]

It seems I can indeed install resilio-sync with,

sudo apt-get install resilio-sync

However, I don't think the armhf architecture installed correctly because it reflects that in the apt-get update results. I tried verifying with dpkg --print-architecture and it returns amd64. I assume since the update fails, the armhf is unable to fully install.

Which CPU do you have? If it is either an Intel or AMD (which is most likely the case) the architecture you added (ARM) is wrong. Try the following:

sudo dpkg --remove-architecture armhf
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Then replacing [arch=armhf] with deb and save the file Lastly, run the update and install again:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install resilio-sync
