Hi again,

I will like to report something that I have just find out with respect to a problem that I had in the past with deluge - others may have also faced it.

Initially, I have installed deluge 0.5 in Airlive (thanks to Filodej) and 0.6 in Vista, and everything was ok. Then I upgraded deluge (on Vista) from 0.6 to 0.7 and again everything was running smoothly. Though, when I upgraded it to 1.00 problems started!
Although, deluge could start in Vista, when I was remotely connecting to the Airlive nothing was appearing in the list of torrent files. Then I decided to downgrade it to 0.6. I tried 0.6, 0.7 but nothing !!! the deluge was not even able of loading.

Any how, the solution to this problem is related to a clean uninstalling! Apart from uninstalling deluge from 'control panel-programs and features' you also have to:
i)  remove the directory of deluge e.g. c:\program files\deluge (since some files are not automatically deleted),and
ii)  remove the 'deluge' directory that is created inside the following path: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Deluge

After performing the above steps I could downgrade deluge without any problems (and run ok, as before). I will try to report this to deluge team and let's hope that these bugs will be corrected on next release.

Hello all, finally the Deluge 1.1.0 package is ready.

Dear Aqualung, if you are still so eager for the web gui - and ajax gui template now looks very good, I think - now you have an opportunity. Since you are the only owner of TWO wmu boxes, I know, I encourage you to install deluge on both boxes and use first as a deluge daemon and second as a deluge client/http server and let us know how smoothly such a box-farm works.

Just as an experiment, if I were you, I'd definitely give it a try :-)

You can find the configuration details in the post.

Hello Christos,

1) I would not recommend installing deluge over the old one. If you did not use the filopack.sh for the installation, following should do the magic:

# cd /mnt/C
# wget http://filodej.ic.cz/filopack/.filopack/deluge-1.0.5.lst
# xargs rm -f < deluge-1.0.5.lst

2) I did not need to transfer any state and so I performed a clean installation. So I frankly don't know. I would presume that they will hold the state somewhere in the .config directory, there is a state sub-directory, try to look there. (The deluge-1.0.5.lst file does not contain anything from the root's home directory and so the rm command should not make any harm to any of your personal state files).

Good luck and let me know how it went as I can update the post appropriately.

Cheers,
Filodej

PERFECT news !!!

I can report the following:

1) based on your trick with xargs, I managed to uninstall the previous version successfully.

After installing 1.1.0 version:

2) in the 'deluge.sh' & 'deluged.sh' scripts I had to add the /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so library, otherwise I was getting the usual error-message "/usr/bin/python: Can't resolve symbol '_Unwind_SjLj_Register'"

3) the "echo -n -e "\n<username>:<password>" >> ~/.config/deluge/auth" line that you have at your post for configuring the authentication didn't worked for me. Probably the "\n" was not understood or I had to leave a space after that. Any how...I manually edited the "auth" file and everything went ok.

4) so the bonus is .... that if you transfer the state files of your torrents from the previous version to the new one you do not have to re-check them again !!!  which means that by doing so you safe a lot of time :-)

Once again, excellent work Filodej - you made a lot of people happy.
All the best,
Christos

Dear Aqualung,

you know there is a saying in Greek: 'if you stress a lot the string is going to break'...
I think Joker & Filodej and all people here trying to share knowledge are doing their best, and this is for free!!!

there are over 5 different BT clients available for our box and almost all of them are complied at their latest versions.
I think we should be great to them rather than asking for too much - new version of deluge was released a few days ago with nothing special in particular i.e. it is x.x.1 version !!! give them a break :-)

Don't get it wrong yeah ?!
regards,
Christos

For those of you running Deluge on the WMU-6500FS box, I have a question: I am not very happy with the download speed of my Deluge/WMU-6500FS combination, and I suspect that this is due to my sub-optimal Deluge configuration--mainly the Preferences/Bandwidth and Preferences/Queue menus. Can I get those of you happy enough with their BT experience to post the relevant settings?

Many thanks.

Thanks, thought I am not really sure what you mean by "this." The Preferences? How could these be irrelevant for the BT on box?


I have yet to see speeds greater than 200Kb/s, though I get mostly 30-50 cumulated speed on an average with well seeded torrents. As a rule, no single torrent, however well seeded, seems to be overly eager to go over 25Kb/s.

Here are my bandwidth settings, and I'd appreciate comments:
