Deluge

Deluged is never run as root, and usually it's run from e.g. systemd like the guide shryp linked to, and in the systemd servicefile for deluged there is defined which username to run deluged under, normally user 'deluge'. Anyway, the error you get when running deluged directly from command-line as &...

Sorry, nothing wrong with what you've done, as the script was just a quick one modelled after my setup I.e. standard localhost setup without other user or passwords etc. Instead of asking several questions about your setup and then ammending the script, it would be easier to do it manually, but at l...

No matter what, then you need ltconfig plugin and enabling 'force_proxy' and 'anonymous_mode' for using a socks5 proxy securely in deluge, so add that firstly before checking again. Here's a shell-script you and other socks5 proxy users on linux can use/ammend to set everything up. Change path of de...

I just made a new bug report - ticket #3248 - https://dev.deluge-torrent.org/ticket/3248 I cannot input anything in CLI mode(after pressing 'l') of the console-UI of the python3 install, whereas a python2 install works fine. No errors or anything else useful in log. I was hoping to finally change ov...

It's a one man project done in spare time with a big workload, but you can build from source or use the PPA for new builds for ubuntu. To help advance the project, send patches/pull-requests or donate to the author's patreon.

enable_incoming_tcp and enable_outgoing_tcp are enabled by default in libtorrent/deluge, so no need for setting these. Some VPN users have issues with uTP, so if having low speeds, then it can often help using ltconfig to disable both enable_incoming_utp and enable_outgoing_utp. Even if not having i...

Just wanted to add that port forwarding on router should not fix this, as nothing should get through the tunnel setup between you and the socks5 proxy, well, at least if doing it correctly and using ltconfig plugin and enabling force_proxy and anonymous_mode. Also, contacting tracker unproxied is th...

You're welcome. Yes, no need to forward port 4433. Yes, with socks5, then all traffic flows between the setup tunnel, and everything is done through the proxy server and tunneled back to you through the socket.

It's your choice, but I'd certainly enable DHT and also PEX, as is helpful in public torrents, and note many guides online are written by people having no business given advice on the subject as not understanding the subject indepth enough. For instance, don't use forced encryption unless having ban...

Sorry I don't know the answer to your connection issues, but about your usage of a socks5 proxy or VPN, then you shouldn't forward any ports for that. Just leave the deluge settings regarding this as per default, unless having specific reason for choosing otherwise.
