Re: Hang while checking

Having the exact same issue.

Only difference is that the program has started hanging on its own occasionally, not just when checking a file.

I've gone back to 1.3.2 and its working fine.

I have the EXACT same issues using 1.3.3. Torrents get stuck checking, refuse to dowload, etc. The program also hangs and will not shut down. I have to force terminate the process to get it to close. Reverted to 1.3.1 and things seem to be ok.

Deluge 1.3.3 will not run on Windows 7 x64

Post by AngryWindowsUser »

I've tried everything, from completely deleting all files and reinstalling, to trying all of the different options on the GTK2 installer, to running (and installing) as Administrator. The program simply WILL NOT RUN. Click the program, nothing happens. Task manager doesn't report that the program even ATTEMPTED to run.

What the crap do I do?

Have you tried 1.3.1 because both 1.3.2 & 1.3.3 actually have issues on W7x64.

+1 on these problems, used a clean installation.. Reverting back to 1.3.1 solved the problems for now.

I had he same issue as well I had to revert to 1.3.1 in windows to get it to work properly. Interestingly enough 1.3.3 runs perfectly fine in a linux environment

I did not realise but changing libtorrent is much simpler than expected for an installed Deluge on Windows.
  • Navigate to Deluge folder 'C:\Program Files\Deluge\' or 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Deluge\'
  • Backup old libtorrent by renaming libtorrent.pyd to libtorrent.pyd_bak
  • Extract libtorrent.pyd from the attached archive into the folder
  • Start Deluge and check Help->About for the installed libtorrent version

The attached libtorrent.pyd file was obtained from the python-libtorrent win32 build on libtorrent's download list.

If people can test this so we know if the newer version has fixed the issues.

Thanks for the update instructions. 0.15.8 is rock-solid on Linux (using it 24/7), but Windows does not seem to be fixed at all yet. I still observe at least two kinds of symptoms, tested on XP SP3 (32bit, no virus checker etc.):

1) with multi-file torrents the daemon repeatably throws up with "Reached the end of the file: <download dir>/somefile", regardless of selective downloding (first, last, one in the middle) or all files.
2) torrents with aggregate size >2GB still seem to "die" silently; they just stall and despite being connected to seeders/peers, nothing happens. Probably some last piece is prioritised and overflows some 32bit index.

Didn't test on Win7/64bit yet.
