Why, I cannot change which files to download from a torrent?

Post by olspookishmagus »

Hello running deluged on Debian and I use deluge-gtk to connect to the server.

However for some reason I can't chance which files to download from a torrent as can be seen in this screenshot here:

(All relevant options are greyed out and unselectable/unclickable)

Do you have any ideas how to investigate this?
Permissions? Ownerships? deluged configuration?

Thanks in advance.

Code: Select all

$ cat ~/.config/deluged/config/auth 
localclient:Wgb51LM9Em2TbrCvv3SR3ICr9TBu1VyPQGqfBX6BH:10
olspookishmagus:deluged_pass_goes_here:10
Still the problem remains.
Any other ideas/tips?

Is it the correct auth file? This one resides in your home folder but maybe you launch deluged at startup with systemd and another user like "deluge" if you followed the wiki on this site. Then the aut location is on the home folder of "deluge", /var/lib/deluge.
Try maybe with another user to and through the webui (if this option is available there, I rarely use it)

Anyway I'm still unsure it will lead to such situation.
