ok I downloaded the ta.gz and extracted it to my desktop, ran "sudo ./setup.py" while in the extracted dir and gto

Code: Select all

from: can't read /var/mail/setuptools
./setup.py: 42: ./setup.py: __plugin_name__: not found
./setup.py: 43: ./setup.py: __author__: not found
./setup.py: 44: ./setup.py: __author_email__: not found
./setup.py: 45: ./setup.py: __version__: not found
./setup.py: 46: ./setup.py: __url__: not found
./setup.py: 47: ./setup.py: __license__: not found
./setup.py: 48: ./setup.py: __description__: not found
./setup.py: 49: ./setup.py: __long_description__: not found
./setup.py: 50: ./setup.py: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
Do I need to run this from a certain dir? I can't seem to find any instructions

You are doing it wrong. You don't need the source code. Just get the .egg file and install it from the plugin preferences. Also, for building the setup.py files you need to use the python command. I am not sure if your system is using the py2.7 or the py2.6 version so I can't help you decide which egg you need.

Try typing python -V in the command window. That is capital V. That should tell you which version you have. If you have 3.x you will need to try python2 instead of python.

He said set the settings to max performance. I never used the presets and only edited a couple settings on mine. There is a check box to auto set on startup if it works for you. Also, no need to restart when adding a plugin. It should auto add just fine.

Even with preset on "High seed" it stopped downloading with many seeds available. I restarted the service in to start fresh and the downloads resume. I'm not sure i understand "Max performance" does that mean change every value to as high as it will go?

If you scroll through the various settings you will see anything that changes is highlighted. Pick max speed from the dropdown and then click load settings right next to it. Then apply on the bottom. You might look into building libtorrent 1.0.5 from source yourself, but that might be complicated if you are not familiar with building source code.

currently using libtorrent version: 0.16.13.0 its my assumption that the build is the cause of everyone having this problem. This is just based off some research iv done on this board. I think i will look into building libtorrent version: 1.05 as it may be a better solution. Are you using it and it work well for you?

I used 1.0.3, 1.0.4 and 1.0.5 and they all worked great for me. I just starting using deluge about a month ago. I never really tried the default version since it had so many complaints.

I am using windows so those are easier to upgrade. I think there is a PPA for Ubuntu that makes upgrading that easier, it is just a little outdated.

All of my options in the Itconfig panel are just check boxs and field boxs, no drop downs, the preset just says Initial Settings,High Performance Seed, and Minimum Memory Usage
