Getting constant "Checking 0.00%" and "Paused 0.00%" states

[DSpider]

I'm using Arch Linux, everything up to date, latest deluge (1.3.2 and libtorrent 0.15.6.0).

The problem:
Pause -> Resume doesn't work.
Pause -> Force Re-check doesn't work.
Pause -> Force Re-check -> Resume doesn't work.
And about every other combination I tried DOESN'T WORK !

Says "Paused 0.00%", I choose "Resume", says "Checking 0.00%" and it just stays like that. No HDD activity, nothing. It doesn't matter if I have Options-Auto manage On or Off, it doesn't work.


What I have tried (and doesn't work):

- Removing everything from the ~/.config/deluge folder, except for the folder "state" (I really don't wanna lose my torrents).
- Used the option "Move Storage" to move it to another partition in case there was a permission problem.
- Tried to change permissions for the download folder just in case. But to no avail because top tells me "deluge" is running under the user "dspider", so it should work, but it doesn't:



What would you recommend ?

As you may have seen me post elsewhere this is almost always permissions issues.

Turn on debug to see if you get any details.

Try moving a torrent to your Home Folder.

Test with a new config and a few test torrents:

Code: Select all

deluge -c ~/testconfig

Simply running deluge -L debug seems to have solved it. I don't think it's a permission issue because new torrents download just fine in that directory.

Edit: If I quit Deluge (force quit because regular "Quit" freezes the application), then it's stuck. Deluge simply won't quit. Just.. freezes.

Also, if I download something large (like a documentary pack) over some partial matches (same folder, same filenames, etc), and I close it before Deluge can check them, it will get stuck at "Checking 0.00%" next time I start Deluge.

But like I said, this doesn't happen if I run it using deluge -L debug.

Should I start Deluge this way from now on ? And why does this "debug" feature even affect Deluge this way ?


Edit #2: Just noticed that it says "Paused 10.56%" and it's downloading at the same time. Wow... Just... wow.



Have you ever seen this before ? I remember messing around with the state saves before: http://forum.deluge-torrent.org/viewtop ... =7&t=36695 But shouldn't uninstalling Deluge, clearing the package cache and reinstalling Deluge fix it ? Because I've already tried it. Hmmm... Silly question. Maybe you're not familiar with pacman, the default package manager in Arch. Pacman is supposed to uninstall it completely using the -Rns argument, everything except files that the packages themselves create (like dot files in the home dir, etc).

And since I've only messed with these two files...
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/deluge/core/torrent.py
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/deluge/ui/gtkui/torrentview.py

I think they're part of the deluge package, not something deluge created post-install. But I'm not sure, when running pacman -Ql deluge (to see everything the "deluge" package installed), I run out of scrolling space because the list is too long. Any idea on how I could echo it to a file or something to see the full list ?

There is really no reason it should change the functionality of deluge.

Any idea on how I could echo it to a file or something to see the full list ?

Code: Select all

pacman -Ql deluge > myfile.txt

or

Code: Select all

pacman -Ql deluge | less

Yes, those two files are definitely part of the package. Uninstalling Deluge and reinstalling it would make them the default files that come with 1.3.2.

Deluge definitely works better if I run it in debug mode. Torrents start checking again after I click Resume.

I am getting this exact issue, but on windows (Deluge 1.33)

[''checking'' hell]

Try moving a torrent to your Home Folder.

Thank you, this (seems to have) worked for me, I changed the defualt DL directory first thing and have banging around for hours trying to figure out what's wrong.
Windows users, the defualt Home Folder is probably your login name, located under C:\Documents and Settings (I really hate that place )

thus ends my unofficial faq addition

I have the same issue. After restarting deluge torrents do not resume downloading and get stuck at "Checking 0.00%". Running Deluge from the terminal as root solves the problem. The debug command also worked, but only once and it is highly likely that i ran it as root.

Is there any way to solve this permanently? I download my files to my D drive (NTFS) in order to have access to them under Windows too so downloading to my Linux partition is not a solution.

[Cas]

There is nothing Deluge can do if it cannot access a drive, you need to setup your filesystem properly.

I had the same problem as the original poster.

all torrents suddenly were continually stuck in pause, using 1.36 with OS = Ubuntu 13.04

Starting in debug ; moving a torrent to your Home Folder; Force Recheck was always stuck at "Checking 0.00%, removed & reinstalled Deluge; nothing worked.

Then remembered I had removed the Scheduler recently from Preferences,
Reinstalled it and set all the boxes to green, hit Apply and problem was solved.
Deluge is a great program BTW. Many Thanks.
