Deluge continues to transfer data even after its closed?

[BoyHowdy]

I was hoping maybe someone could answer this for me.

Why does Deluge continue to transfer data after I close the client?

I thought maybe it was just finishing up a chunk or two, but no, it makes new connections and continues to transfer until I reboot the computer.

This is Deluge 1.0 on Ubuntu Hardy Heron.

are you running deluge in classic mode or in daemon/client mode?
I don't see how deluge can be transferring after you've killed it?

[mvoncken]

I think your daemon is still running.
Enable classic mode, the reverse of this faq : http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Faq# ... ittheGTKUI

You are correct, setting Deluge to classic mode makes it work as I would expect.

Thank you for a very fast response.

Sorry if I glazed over the docs but I have been using Deluge for quite some time and I guess I was expecting it to work as it always has.

Why on earth would something remain running after the client closes without any indication? The Daemon should have its own tray icon to let you know it is still running.

BTW killer torrent client =-)

The truth is i didn't read the docs at all, my bad.

the point of a daemon is that it's constantly running in the background (and not tied to a gui).

you can always check to see if a program is running by going to (in Ubuntu Hardy) System->Administration->System monitor and choosing Processes or by entering

Code: Select all

ps aux | grep <program name>

in a terminal.

reading the docs is always a good thing
