Magnet Links Help!

Post by better »

Hi I'm very new to deluge and I'm sorry if this has already been posted/fixed.

I followed this tutorial to install deluge on my Ubuntu server.
http://www.havetheknowhow.com/Install-t ... dless.html

So I now access my deluge through the web which works and I very happy with but I can't get magnet links to work.
I have looked round and seen fixes for it but I just can't seem to get it to work.

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks
Cas

I am wondering the same thing. I upgraded my Deluge on my Ubuntu media box to version 1.3.4. However, when I go to the webui to add files, it still shows as version 1.3.3. The magnet link is greyed out as well. Any help would be appreciated.

If you built from source on ubuntu then you need to make sure the previous package was removed or delete the binaries pointing to the old version.

use these commands to show which deluge binary is the default and its location:

Code: Select all

which deluge deluge-web deluged
and to show the versions:

Code: Select all

deluged --version; deluge-web --version; deluge --version
To find any other binaries use this command:

Code: Select all

locate deluged deluge-web

Hi,

I've searched the forum and did not find the answer, or could make no use of what I found.

I've updated to 1.3.4 on my headless server running ubuntu 10.04, in order to get magnet support with webui. I use Deluge through webui with firefox 11 ( ubuntu 11.04 client computer); so I've also set network.protocol-handler.expose.magnet with false.

When I click on a magnet, I am now presented with a pop-up in order to choose an application. BUT, obviously, deluge is on the server (/usr/bin/deluged), not on the client computer.

So, where should I point it to ?

Thanks for the job.

So, I've found how to add magnets manually: right click on the magnet link, copy the address of the link, then go to the webui and click on the + (top left, green) and then click the Url+ icon. Paste the link, click Add and that's it!

I am not sure if it's supposed to work automatically, like with torrent links, but that would be great...

I have also updated to 1.3.4 on Ubuntu wheezy/sid and I'm still seeing the info_hash button greyed out in the web ui. Am I missing a step in activating this option?


deluged: 1.3.4
deluge-web: 1.3.4
deluge: 1.3.4

As sprOOnz just said, use the url button.

You could install and setup deluge thinclient or use a greasemonkey script in Firefox (see plugins) which adds an extra link to a page.

i don't find a possibility to add magnet url automatically into deluge web. it will be cool if i will may to add magnet as a part of url to my deluge-web server like parameter.
