Deluge stopped downloading

Post by jay »

First, I am running Deluge in Docker on a Ubuntu server VM in Proxmox. I have Sonarr and Radarr managing my Plex library and Jackett for searching indexers. This keeps my Plex library up to date automatically and has been working relatively flawlessly for years. Then on December 31st downloads just stopped. Torrents are being added as expected, but they all just sit at 0%. If I force a recheck they sit in a "checking" status until I reboot the Deluge docker container. Then they go back to "downloading" at 0%. I didn't make any changes and no one was accessing the servers during this time. We weren't even in the country. I just came home to this. I am also running AdGuard Home as a DNS server Thinking there may have been an issue there, I temporarily switched to a public DNS, no change. All software is up to date.

It looks like logs are not turned on by default. I don't know how to turn them on running this in docker. I did create a test torrent that links to a local file. Same issue. Deluge does occasionally decide that they are all downloading at less than 1 KiB/s, but only for a second or two, then back to 0. I seem to be sharing fine. I do see normal upload speeds. Could my ISP have started blocking this kind of traffic? It doesn't look like it. I use Starlink.

I don't even know where to begin. If you need more information just let me know. Any help is very appreciated.

I got it. It was a permissions issue. I use Linux, so it's ALWAYS a permissions issue. Had to set everything in Truenas to 775 instead of 755. I don't like it, but it works. I still don't know what happened. Everything worked fine with 755 for years, then all of a sudden there's a permission issue. Oh well. It works.
