Linux: Still transferring data after shutdown deluge

[mcourteaux]

Hi,

After I exited Deluge (File -> Quit), the process deluge is gone. But there are still a lot of connections, transferring at a low speed.
All connections are running at PID (Process ID) 0 by root.
So, I can't kill it. I always was in trouble with my internet connection with a limit of 120 GB/month.
Then I figured it out it was deluge still transferring with a kind of hidden process. Nethogs shows what is going on:



And here is my process list:

So, how to stop this transferring?

Thanks

[loki]

I imagine those are either requests to your machine for a piece of the torrent you were sharing or the very last updates or requests for updates from the tracker. Either of which do stop after very short time (it looks like) and use barely any bandwidth.

[mcourteaux]

@loki: Thank you very much. That will be indeed the problem. So, the question is: "Does Deluge tell the tracker he stopped?"
Because, if I close Deluge, it is immediately gone. While, in Transmission (Linux) he first tells the tracker he will leave, which takes about ten seconds.
So, when a peer gets a new announcement from the tracker, he will stop trying to connect me?

i'm trying it too right now.. closed deluge and it's been transferring for 20mins and goes on..

i'm trying it too right now.. closed deluge and it still transferring for 10mins..

This is stretching the definition of transferring, those data rates are minuscule so are probably just protocol request packets rather than any real data transfer.

You can use wireshark to sniff the packets.
