Pause all torrents while deluge isn't running

[Loggy]

Deluge crashes from time to time since I have to many torrents in it.

How can I pause all torrents while deluge isn't running (or starting deluge with all torrents paused?

You either need to e.g from command line start deluged and then right after set all torrents to paused e.g like this:

Code: Select all

deluged; deluge-console "pause *"

(New deluge-2 needs those double-quotes for pause/resume i believe when using globbing. Add 'connect <host:port> <user> <pass>;' if needed.)

You could also do it from the GUI by pressing 'ctrl+a' and selecting pause all.

Or, the only way to kinda do specifically what you're asking for, is you could change core.conf without deluge running and then start deluge afterwards. The settings I'm referring to amending, is the queue settings, so if they all 3 support to be set at 0, and if not, then 1 and you would only have 1 active torrent when starting.

Could you give me the command for windows? I'm using deluge 1.3.15 btw

If you're using the deluged daemon(thinclient-mode) and not classic-mode, then here's some windows commands:

If the deluged daemon isn't running yet, then start it:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Deluge\deluged.exe"

Then to pause all torrents run:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Deluge\deluge-console.exe" "pause *"

If you need host, port, user and/or password, then change the following to yours:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Deluge\deluge-console.exe" "connect <host:port> <user> <pass>; pause *" 

Alternatively, as I said before you could e.g change 'max_active_limit' to 0 in core.conf(should be in '%appdata%\Roaming\Deluge' ) and start deluge afterwards, or with deluged already running:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Deluge\deluge-console.exe" "config -s max_active_limit 0" 

(Again, if needed, add host, port, user and/or pass, as shown previously.)

Note, untested, as not at home now where I can check it in a windows VM.
