Re: Deluge Encryption Setting confusion?

(1) There are 3 options: "Disabled", "Enabled" and "Forced"

Disabled - don't enable encryption (you can only connect to peers that aren't using encryption)
Enabled - enable encryption (you can connect to peers that are using encryption as well as peers that aren't)
Forced - force the use of encryption (you can ONLY connect to peers that are using encryption)

You can then specify what level of encryption you want enabled/forced.

(2) Once again 3 options: "Handshake", "Full stream" and "Either"
Handshake - allow/force the use of encryption when connecting to a peer
Full stream - allow/force the use of encryption when connecting to a peer as well as when transferring
Either - allow/force the use of either one mobdro

"Encrypt entire stream" means that you prefer to use "Full stream" encryption rather than "Handshake".
Hence it makes no sense to select "Full stream" and then not to tick "Encrypt entire stream".
AFAIK deluge (or libtorrent) doesn't enforce "Encrypt entire stream" if you select "Full stream" (which is what you were implicitly asking).
