Raspbian Pi 3 won't download a single bit

[Monkeykill]

Hello, I have followed the user guide for thin client and server installation.

Currently I am on a linux web-ui client connecting to a raspabian pi 3 in the same home network.

The symptom is: I add a torrent file from my linux machine's web browser. The status shows downloading, and it shows also how many seeds and peers etc. From time to time the dl speed changes from 0 to less than 10 KB/s temporarily. But the percentage is always 0%. When I check the download folder it is empty. After about a few minutes the status becomes "error".

I have rebooted several times and tried several times this is still the same.

Where should I be looking at?

Permissions on the download folder?

Permissions on the download folder?

Following the user guide, a user "deluge" is created via

Code: Select all

sudo adduser --system  --gecos "Deluge Service" --disabled-password --group --home /var/lib/deluge deluge
sudo adduser pi deluge

The download folder is /home/pi/Download/deluge_files/

and ls -l of the deluge_files is

drwxrwxr-x 2 pi pi

And the umask used in deluged.service and deluge-web.service are both 007


On the other hand,

Code: Select all

su --shell /bin/bash --login deluge

can't be done since it asks for passoword for the user deluge but the user was created without password. So I manually changed "all_remote" to true in the /var/lib/deluge/core.conf file.

I now see that the deluge-web status for the download is "permission denied /home/pi/Downloads/deluges_files

But shouldn't it have the write permission already?

You have created a group deluge and added pi user to it... You have the permissions the wrong way round. The permission for deluge_files should be set to deluge group to allow deluge user to write to it.

Ah....Thank you... It's working now after changing the folder group to "deluge".
