Why are there multiple instances of deluged running?

Post by blt1032 »

Is there a reason that I have 5 [pid's] deluged process running. Shouldn't there only be one, as each is using 14% of memory. Is there a limit to the number of torrents supported on a daemon and it starts another when that limit is reached. Or, is a new one started every time that you start the thin client? I'm not sure of what's going on, except that each copy of it uses 14% of my memory.

Thanks
Cas

I did read it and the only thing I know is the that it's Deluge 1.2.3. Since it's a VPS/seedbox, I'll wait till their support comes online. At least they don't treat us Linux newbies as lower class citizens. But thanks anyway.

I have no idea if you a Linux newbie or not. Where ever you ask for help with anything you should give all the relevant information. The benefit of this is to save confusion and enable the problem to be answered quicker, in essence helping you...

Where are these multiple pids running and what process names are they? If they are on your seedbox have you asked their support people about them?
