Deluge "forgets" what it downloaded and wont close

[Saturn777]

Hello everyone !

I need help please.

An old problem i regularly have with deluge started to happen again :

After a fresh installation, Deluge works well.
I ask deluge to use the folders on a different drive than the drive of where deluge is installed
But like i said, at first Deluge runs fine until i get a number of downloads

Then, after a while, Deluge pauses them all on startup, and shows the completed downloads as "empty" and needs to "force re-check" all the dowloads to show them as they really are if they are completed.
Also: Deluge then cannot close.
It leaves a blank window and i have to end the process via the system monitor ot the terminal.

I had the problem yesterday, so i completely uninstalled deluge with "sudo apt-get remove --purge deluge"
and even "sudo apt-get remove --purge deluge-gtk".
I even deleted manually all the folders and files remaining with the name "deluge".

Then i reinstalled deluge with "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deluge-team/stable" and
"sudo apt-get install deluge"

In a previous installation (Linux mint 21 "Vanessa") i had the same problem; at first everything is fine, then after i get a number of downloads, Deluge starts having the problem and needs to force re-check all the dowloads.

Even if i take away the downloads and store them in an external drive to lignten the load for the program the problem persists.


Here is the system i have with the console command : inxi -SMCGx

Hi,

If i am not mistaken i encountered this issue many years ago and if my memory is not letting me down, it was a file/directory ownership or permission thing.

Could you please do a ls -lha to see the current ownership and permissions.

It will look something like this.

<user>@<SYSTEM>:<PATH of DELUGE># ls -lha

Besides that, could you do these two commands and give the output. deluged is essential because that is when files are being written as (owership/permission)

systemctl cat deluged.service

It will look something like this.
