Deluge doesn't download to other dir then /srv/deluge

E_user · 2011-09-22 21:01:53

Hello,

I have a problem with the deluge. It doesn't download in a different directory than /srv/deluge. I tried / or /home/user/dl.

I installed it from https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Deluge

Please, help me. thanks

Works for me - I'm using deluge 1.3.3-3.
In ~/.config/deluge/core.conf you have a "download_location" setting - what does it say?

Have you set the correct permissions/ownership to your dl directory?

ls -dl /home/user/dl

It say "download_location": "/srv/deluge/dl/temp", Thats ok I think.

Are you running Deluge as root?

If not change the ownership of the download directory to that of the user you have setup:

chown -R your_user:its_group /home/user/dl

Apologies if this is obvious stuff, but I know that i've been stumped by a similar issue in the past!

I'm running deluge as a user and it used my home directory, I didn't have to change anything. Try editing that line to point to e.g. /home/user/dl.

I'm not exactly sure what you are telling me... you still cannot download to /home/user/dl having changed ownership? Or you have had some success running Deluge as user?

I simply run deluge as a user and it downloaded the torrent (Archlinux iso) to my home directory - /home/karol, as specified by

  "download_location": "/home/karol",

The location was already set when I installed deluge. I can change that location and deluge respects that.
When you run 'deluge foobar.torrent' you can set the download location in the 'Options' tab IIRC.
You can also set it up in Edit -> Preferences.

I have deluge on my home server with no GUI. I manage it with SSH and WebUI. In my home folder I have only ui.conf. I edit my core.conf in /srv/deluge/.config/deluge.

"move_completed_path": "/home/public/dl"

In this configuration it doesn't work. /home/public folder is not user's folder.

Maybe this is a problem of access rights to the /home/public folder.

I'm trying to explain the problem, but my english is not perfect.

Your English is fine E_user, i'd you mistaken for karol when s/he followed up my post - I wasn't paying close attention! Apologies the both of you.

But yes, likewise, my setup is the same as karol's: i've no experience where servers are concerned.

How about checking the ownership of /srv/deluge and matching /home/user/dl to it? Assuming downloads are working fine here...

Permissions looks similar.

[root@Josh e]# ls -dl /srv/deluge
drwxr-xr-x 3 deluge deluge 4096 Sep 23 23:08 /srv/deluge
[root@Josh e]# ls -dl /home/public/dl/temp
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 23 23:16 /home/public/dl/temp

But it have some differents. I think the problem is in permissions. Deluge can't write into the dir /home/public. I have to learn more about it... When I find where is the problem, I will post about it. But if somebody know solution, please share it. Thank you.

Try (as root):
