[solved] Problem with selective downloading not working

[blackdalek]

I have deluged set up to run as a systemd service in Ubuntu.
I have a user/password set up in the auth file with admin level access (10).
I have full allocation selected.

Yet when I connect to the deluged from a client running the deluge gui, or through the deluge-web interface, it is impossible to select file download priority.

All files are set to default "Normal priority"
and all other options are greyed out.

how do i fix this?

I've been fiddling around, and I think the problem is related to file and directory ownership permissions.

Right now, the deluged service is running as deluge user. However, I told it to download the files to my login user's directory at /home/myuser/Downloads.

I think this is what is causing the problem, but I don't know how to fix it.

Problem fixed by correcting the file ownership/permissions.
