Need RSS / Subscription help

[pilotdude]

New to Deluge and Linux both. I think I'm very close to making subscriptions work. I have the YaRSS2 utility installed. I got one RSS feed URL from ShowRSS. Set up the feed, then the subscription. Went with just one show as sort of my "Hello world" for torrents. Under "Edit subscriptions" I initially had a list with all red X's and a message about filters. So I added { NCIS 12.* } in the Filter Include (regex) window and now all Season 12 shows are listed with green checks. But nothing is downloading. In Messages I get this every 30 minutes:

(2015-04-30T10:22:51): Update handler executed on RSS Feed 'NCIS (showrss.info)' (Update interval 30 min)
(2015-04-30T10:22:51): Fetching subscription 'NCIS'.
(2015-04-30T10:22:51): Fetching RSS Feed: 'NCIS' with Cookie: '{}'.
(2015-04-30T10:22:51): 20 items in feed, 20 matches the filter.
(2015-04-30T10:22:51): Not adding because of old timestamp: 'NCIS 12x22 Troll 720p'

Then the last line repeated about a dozen times. I think I'm one setting away; appreciate the help in finding it.

Oh: one NCIS show is shown on my Dowload list, but size = zero and %complete = 0. It's been there for a couple of days. Also, if I manually get a torrent and put it into the Deluge torrent watch folder it grabs it and downloads the show just fine, so my issue seems to be limited to the whole RSS setup.

OS = ubuntu 14.04
Deluge =

The last timestamp error means the torrent was in the RSS feed before the timestamp so the plugin thinks it is old and has been downloaded before. there is a setting to reset the timestamp on the subscription tab though (right click on the subscription). Maybe try that. Also, if using showrss to parse your feed list before you get it you can make a subscription with .* in the regex include to download everything. The . says match any character and the * says match the previous character (anything) an infinite number of times.

I prefer to use a different subscription for each show because then you can save them each to a different folder.

I reset the time stamp; no change. I think I did that a couple of days ago, no change then either. I selected the show I did because there was to be a new episode the next day, thinking that should not have this problem; it does.

I would attach screen shots, but I don't know how to take them and how to store them in ubuntu; I'm mostly a Windows kinda guy.

So I just now did a two-step: Reset last matched timestamp, followed by Run this subscription. It filled in about a dozen torrents into the Downloading list, but now they all say zero size, zero download. There is no action going on.

ShowRSS uses magnet links. That is why they say size 0. The magnets don't get their full data until you start the download.

Do you have it set to add them in the paused state?

I believe there is a default setting in deluge as well as one in the yarss2 plugin.

Did you add the deluge repository to your ubuntu list so that you can get the 1.3.11 latest version?

Also, if you get things working it might be a good idea to download and build the latest libtorrent 1.0.4 from source.

I have no idea about how to check or set the action to download when paused. I have highlighted a torrent and clicked the green run arrow; nada. Looked at all of the subscription and RSS settings that I can find; nothing about downloading while paused. Basically nothing has changed; everything looks OK except that nothing is downloading.

I would have not idea how to do either of hose suggestions, but my son could come over or just log in and do it. But I think those are not behind the no downloading issue, so I'll wait until there is download joy.

Open up a terminal window and just type those 3 commands.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deluge-team/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install deluge

The first time it will ask for your password.


What does the status bar say for your torrent?
Or, what category is it listed in?

Downloading, seeding, queued, active, paused, error? ...
How many seeds or peers is it seeing?

I am thinking if they are showing up in deluge then the RSS settings are working properly.

Try setting the active, downloading and seeding limits in the queue section of the preferences to -1. That will bypass the queue for now.

I think I have done that; no change. Meantime I dropped a torrent into my watch folder, Deluge pulled it off in seconds, it shows a size on the Downloads list, but nothing is downloading. So my issue seems to be specific to downloading, not the RSS nor the subscription, since this torrent has nothing to do with either. Tried to force start; nothing.

I have been looking t the data on the bottom of the Status window. Some say {copersurfer.tk: Announce sent} but others say {coppersurfer.tk: error:}

Yea, normal torrent files have all that info. Magnet links are pretty empty until the download starts and it fills in the sizes and file names. I agree that you have some type of download issue. Do the web browsers and other things work? Did you change the default ports?

EDIT:
Nevermind. If you couldn't reach the internet your RSS wouldn't be able to see anything.

[pilotdude]

And I would not be reading and writing here! What about default ports; did not change anything, but will check them if you can tell me what they should be.
