Deluge

I'm optimistic too, but doubt it will come soon also. I understand big changes is getting in v2.0, but smaller things I don't understand why isn't in current versions when v2 seems so long away and been for years. Well, it's probably because it's features vs fixes, but still, being so conservative w...

As gderf stated, it's fine. With SOCKS5 proxies and VPN's without port-forwarding enabled,, you upload through outgoing connections, which the bittorrent protocol supports, as it's not like the older P2P protocols needing incoming connections to upload i.e. bittorrent connections are bi-directional ...

I use PIA, which i'm guessing is the most popular probably because of the price. All VPNs work with deluge as it's not program-dependent. On linux it's easy to setup VPN usage only for torrenting if wanted. The difference in VPNs is about speed, stability, price and selecting a provider you trust to...

Yes indeed, though it also works fine with e.g. PIA, which the OP uses. I recently gotten PIA also and set it up like described above i,e, only for torrenting and everything else goes through normal connection. I use linux though, where its much easier to setup than windows. I have a script I run wh...

You're not doing anything wrong and the issue is that socks5 proxies doesn't support incoming connection. It will work fine still however, and you can still upload through established outgoing connections. I strongly recommend anyone using deluge with a socks5 proxy to get the ltconfig plugin and en...

Hi gderf :) Hmm, I must admit I don't know when force_proxy and anonymous_mode where introduced, but yeah I believe it was around 0.16 for anonymous_mode. It can be looked up though. First, Arvid added anonymous_mode, which included "force_proxy functionality". Later he splitted the "...

1. Don't use VPN and proxy, but one or the other. It's useless and can introduce issues and isn't recommended by pia, but only from people on other sites which are clueless. The socks proxy was added for scenarious where you only need proxying for a single application at a time or don't need encrypt...

With libtorrent v1.1.1, everything isn't 100% perfect atleast, since when using the ltconfig plugin to enable the option 'announce_to_all_trackers', then it only works for torrents and not magnets. It works on qbittorrent, i.e. announces sent to all trackers on magnets also, so it seems to be an iss...

I lately learned that deluge only connects to the first tracker on multi-tracker torrents, if not errored out, as is following spec and is libtorrent default, but many clients, e.g. utorrent and qbittorrent etc, by default doesn't respect this, so that is atleast a place where deluge isn't more &quo...

i do have a small issue though - when adding torrents through magnet/hash the autolabel won't assign the requested labels automatically (when using the "any file"), but will do so correctly via the "apply to existing torrents". Yeah, magnet/hash torrents are added right away to ...
