Deluge crash after loading the BlockList

Post by Lysander »

I have added the blocklist plugin to my Deluge install, and it just kept hanging on the "Downloading" after I added the PeerGuardian link to it. I thought that maybe a restart of the program would solve the issue, but not... Deluge, which has never crashed on me before, just wont start up. I can see the GUI for two seconds, but as soon as the download blocklist appears, Deluge crashes. From the terminal I get this output:

 (<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2 Final//EN">
)
The problem is solved when I remove the BlocklistImport folder from /usr/share/deluge/ But why can I not load the BlockList plugins correctly? Is there something wrong with my installation?? I am running Deluge 0.5.5


Looking forward to hearing from you, and maybe find a better solution? :=)

Lysander,

It looks like you're trying to import HTML as a blocklist, which should fail (though it shouldn't crash deluge). Try using http://www.bluetack.co.uk.nyud.net:8080 ... splist.zip (it is safepeer text, zipped).

Well, but I had to remove the folder called BlocklistImport to get Deluge sucessfully started again. Is there any file where I manually can edit this information? Thanks for the answer!

It shouldn't crash deluge but it does. I have the same problem in deluge 0.5.5 and I removed ~/.config/deluge to get it to start up again.

The first time I tried importing some blocklists per the blocklist page the only one which would download for me is the safepeer list (if I remember correctly, that was a week or 2 ago and I won't touch this plugin again until it doesn't crash deluge).

are you closing the preference window before the importing finishes? if so, dont. that causes a crash :p

I had the same problem, until i deleted my profile from the .config directory and started again.

Was using the safepeer one as well, but I think the problem is the time delay to download causes it to crash or something, try downloading the other ones manually they take ages..:(

I have got around it by manually downloading the splist.zip file (thanks zoinks)

http://www.bluetack.co.uk.nyud.net:8080 ... splist.zip

and saving it to /home/USERNAME/

Then in the URL field adding this instead

/home/USERNAME/splist.zip

or where ever you want to keep your blocklist file.

This will then load it up no problems, I also tried a restart and it is not crashing on me now. I hope this works for everyone, and that the auto download gets sorted soon.

I have this problem too, with 0.5.5. If the blocklist plugin is set to download on startup and if when deluge starts up it can't connect to the url for the list (because say the website is not working, which seems to be the case fairly often with these blocklists), then deluge either freezes or crashes and kills itself right away.

I found I only have to delete the blocklist.conf and blocklist.cache files in ~/.config/deluge to get deluge to start without crashing.

So it seems more stable to run blocklists from a file location on your computer. How valuable is it to re-download the blocklist everytime you start deluge? Do the blocklists change often? Is being updated with every last change much more effective as a privacy measure or is updating the list ever week or two pretty much as good?

I have a /etc/cron.weekly/deluge-blocklist that looks a lot like:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

wget -O /home/daddy/.config/deluge/blocklist.cache http://www.btack.info/splist.zip
