”Too many open files”

Post by ntldr »

I have installed latest version of deluge and deluge-gtk using it on my main pc not server/nas side. I have about 20 torrents open when adding more to download it starts downloading it all fine for 2 minutes then stops for error ”too many open files” if i press resume it downloads for 10-20 seconds then stops again for same error.

Im also using itconfig super seed mode. I had same amount of torrents open in qbittorrent but no problems there at all.

Any advice how to fix this?

The super seeding mode is based on a heavy server, I never blindly using it but it inspires some settings change.
Does it occurs w/o this profile applied?

On Linux you have a limit for each user about the number of files opened. It may be a lead about such and need to be check on the computer running the Deluge server, with its particular user. Here is an article https://www.tecmint.com/increase-set-op ... -in-linux/

If it never happens with the normal profile, you may tweak the file limit or adapt the super seeding profile in Deluge

FYI - In my experience this does not help. Or at least does not help as number of torrents gets large(~3K)

Code: Select all

debian-deluged@linux:~$ ulimit -Hn
65536
debian-deluged@linux:~$ ulimit -Sn
65536
I still get this issue when using the "High Performance Seed" profile. I have been slowing trying to whittle down which option(s) are the issue but am not there yet.
