Click "Download" next to the latest (or only) release, then choose the .deb file starting with "GTK2_gtk-gnutella".
When you have the .deb downloaded, open a terminal and type:
cd /path/to/download/folder/ sudo dpkg -i GTK2_gtk-gnutella*.deb

Download the package:
wget http://newstuff.orcon.net.nz/ubuntu/dcpp/dcpp_0.0.20050809cvs-1~mird_i386.deb
Note: this is a temporary URL. If you get a "404 file not found" or some other error, check the howto thread (below) for updated information.
Install the package:
sudo dpkg -i dcpp_0.0.*_i386.deb
