you helped me
thanks

my machine is running on Debian 10 - Buster. in the Debian repositories there is Deluge version 1.13.5 this applies to the normal repo, but also for updates and back-ports however there now is version 2.0.3 looking at Debian Package Tracker, it seems the latest version is in a different folder, whic...

my machine runs headless.

before my present machine, I was using a Raspberry Pi 3B, with Raspbian Lite. to begin with, this was Jessie, later upgraded to Stretch. when downloading files with Deluge, the torrent-files were placed in a special folder, being watched by Deluge. once detected and handled, these torrent-files were...

ok, thank you

"systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled" says:

"systemctl list-unit-files --state=disabled" says:

yes, ok, but deluged was never enabled with systemctl
and doing a systemctl disable did not help.
could this come from deluge-web.service starting at boot ??
