[Guide] Installing "GeoIP Database"

Post by johnwickru »

was inches away from asking for help about getting the country flags of peers to show up.
if you also have issue, my solution was to download the database in the link from this post:

specifically from the "Maxmind - Country" tab & IPv4 (1.72m) .dat. (ipv6 / ipv4 & 6 combination doesnt work)

and installing it in a similar manner

hope this may help someone from frustration

I maintain a up to date (updates every 3 days from maxmind) geoip.dat for Deluge usage located at HTTPs://geoip.el0.org if you are interested in getting a more up to date version.

Does it work to point deluge directly to HTTPs://geoip.el0.org/GeoIP.dat or does the file need to be downloaded and placed on local storage periodically?

Thanks

No, you have to point it to local, setup a scheduled task on windows (cron on linux) to download the file to local storage. It has to point to a path on your system.
