I understand what you are attempting to do now.

I do not run Windows but when testing it previously I recall something similar happening.

I am well aware of how permissions work. My point is that this it is all unnecessary.

Simply stop deluge-web, edit the conf file and restart deluge-web. The settings will not be overwritten.

Did you shutdown Deluge before editing the conf files? Deluge will update the conf files on restart or shutdown.

I have split this from the original thread, as it was not directly related to the topic.

You have not said whether deluge runs fine from the command line.

If you are have installed the gtk ui in windows then this should work. Make sure that you checked the box to associate torrents with deluge in the installer.

Also make sure that the remote deluged is the default when deluge gtk opens. This is a screenshot of my setup:

Very strange. Deluge 1.3.1 requires either libtorrent-rasterbar5 (currently v14.10) or libtorrent-rasterbar6 (currently v15.4) along with python-libtorrent. Whats the result for this command: apt-get install apt-show-versions #If you havn't got it installed apt-show-versions deluge python-libtorrent...

are you ensuring deluge is closed before editing conf files?

I am not sure if this is relevant but did you read this: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Faq# ... :80inLinux

Good work, do you have screenshots of deluge with gtk-quartz?

Ok thanks for testing.
