Deluge not downloading

tokoro · 2012-10-23 01:19:07

Well I have a problem with Deluge. Every time I add a new torrent it just won't download. I can see the list of peers but it does not download anything. I'm still uploading old torrents so it's not a connectivity thing. If I download the same torrent with transmission it works fine so the torrents are not dead either.

Any idea of how to solve this?

Do you have deluge and transmission set to use the same port? And are they both trying to download the files into directories writable by a regular user?

So it's an upstream issue. The problem seems to be with magnet links, one work around is to use http://magnet2torrent.me/ to generate a .torrent file from a magnet link

The solution is to downgrade the libtorrent-rasterbar package:

# pacman -U http://arm.konnichi.com/extra/os/i686/libtorrent-rasterbar-1:0.16.3-1-i686.pkg.tar.xz
# pacman -U http://arm.konnichi.com/extra/os/x86_64/libtorrent-rasterbar-1:0.16.3-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Thank you that did the job, and a side note if any of you see that deluge is not working, 90% of the times you have to downgrade that package to a previous version.

Version 0.16.5-1 came out, but it didn't fix it. Fricken magnets... How do they work?

Going back to 0.16.3-1, for now.

I've just add a torrent that I downloaded before to seed. But Deluge don't check the data, it started to download from begining.
Now, deluge has many bug, considering a move to qBittorrent.

It downloads to the home directory by default. That's why it doesn't check your data. And it's not only limited to Deluge; so does FreeDC++ or EiskaltDC++. See here for a (temporary) workaround: http://forum.deluge-torrent.org/viewtop … =7&t=40751

I think it's related to the glibc migration, because it started around the middle of July. What pisses me off is that it still hasn't been fixed!
