Deluge Firefox Plugin

Post by annomatik »

Hi! Due to performance issues, I'd prefer not to connect Firefox magnet links to my local (Windows-) Deluge client, it takes ages for the add torrent popup to appear.

I found three Firefox plugins that theoretically should be able to connect to Deluge via Web and add magnet links here ( https://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Plugins ), hopefully even with selecting a label for each, but...

...DelugeAddTorrent seems to only allow the default password "deluge", at least I couldn't find a way to enter a password and it didn't work
...BitTorrent WebUI+ (and WebUI++) are not compatible with current Firefox Versions
...WebUI Quick Add Torrent just says "An unexpected error occured" when I try to install it with a current Grease Monkey.

Any other suggestions? Any idea if the developers of these solutions are still around and might be able to get at least one of them working?

Thanks!

Hello!
First, thank you for your interest in DelugeAddTorrent plugin.
About the password you can use whatever you want, the password itself is not importante to this plugin,
it does not even needed to be informed in the plugin, just the url of your deluge-web in firefox menu > Extensions > DelugeAddTorrent > Options.
But, since the plugin does not use the password its is necessary you have a browser tab with deluge-web opened and authenticated, because it will send the magnet link to the deluge using the authentication of this tab.
You can find more information here https://github.com/muriloportugal/DelugeAddTorrent .
If i wrote something wrong, sorry, this isn't my first language and if you have any doubts please let me know.

Torrent Control (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... t-control/) works with recent FF versions and magnet links.
