* Fix the view options to be persistent between sessions
Does this mean that Deluge finally remembers the width of my columns and even more importantly the height of the details and files pane on at the bottom? If so I can't wait to try it out, that's the main thing that's been bugging me.
I'm confused. Has this not been working in the RCs?
It works, atleast for me. Anyway I've just installed RC4, but it still has CPU "spikes".
EDIT: that 100%CPU is ofc caused by the deamon, not ui's.
EDIT2 :
Feature request :
- to be able to see how much each peer has completed the torrent download. It was avail. in 0.5.x

As i have mentioned, this was requested by myself and another user...The devs said they're not going to implement it and if you want it, to make a plugin yourself. I would've liked to see it, but i don't care enough to make a plugin so i've dropped the issue...Maybe if enough people bitch the devs will add it back?
1. Right-click torrents and files now working.
2. View options are persistent between sessions.
3. Drag n drop torrent is not working, it recognizes a torrent file was dropped and opens the add torrent dialog but is blank and doesn't add.
4. (major bug) Plugins are gone, Plugins tab is empty. Blocklist plugin was enabled in RC3, not even available as an option in RC4.
5. Still overall slowness/responsiveness.
Installs filesize down to about 68Mb, other fixes not tested.
Report for the RC4, Ubuntu 8.04.

3. Drag n drop torrents is working.
4. Plugins work/visible.
5. No noticeable slowness unlike Windows version.
As for previous discussion about the % completion. I say either to have an option/plugin to show percentage complete, which I believe every other bittorrent client does, or give us a super seeding option.
@andar: Last RC I tried was RC1 and it didn't work there. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04. I haven't managed to try the newer ones out yet 'cause I'm using the Intrepid alpha at the moment and there are no packages for it. I tried installing the hardy deb but it won't run (I get some weird errors when running it from terminal), and compiling it from source didn't work that good either (I think I was missing some dependencies, I installed those stated in the FAQ for 0.6).
For some reason limiting the upload bandwidth also completely kills the download speed for me. If I for example put on an upstream limit of 100KB/s, my downstream immediately and reproducably falls from 3,5MB/s to 300KB/s. This seems to be proportional, because a limit fo 20KB/s make almost everything grind to a halt.
I'm using RC4 on the latest kernel (2.6.26) on Gentoo and I'm portforwarding everything to a single port I set in Deluge.

Have you set it that high successfully before this release?
It sounds to me like you maxed out the upload therefore basically preventing downloading from occurring. Check what your ISP is offering you for upload speed, and maybe check to see if that is what you are getting when you are not using the connection for anything else.
Contrary to some of the opinions here, I think that the new UI is a great improvement. The default add torrent dialog is a great improvement over previous versions. It's very easy to select a download location and pieces of files if you want and the fact that it remembers the last chosen location also is a feature that I have been missing. I think having the last 5 locations would be even better as I have 4 or five regular places that I drop files. Perhaps a list of favourites?
There are a few bugs, but that is what Beat and RCs are all about.
Okay, I'm going to be frank here: I'm starting to get really pissed off at the RCs. Deluge used to be a really good client, but ever since the RCs it has had one disastrous bug after another.
I just rebooted my system, opened up Deluge, and found that all of my downloading torrents were gone. Everything that was seeding is still there, plus a ton of torrents that I had previously removed from my list. But everything that was in progress of downloading had vanished. I couldn't find any trace of the .torrent files either.
There was, however, one torrent that was downloading when I opened Deluge, and it was a torrent which was previously complete and seeding! Somehow now it only has about 50% progress.
For the other torrents, I had to go on the Web and hunt down the original torrent files and re-add them. Once I did, and Deluge did the re-check, I found that I had at least a few days' worth of data gone on each torrent. One of the torrents (a batch of files) previously had one file at 99% and the rest at about 60%, and now all of the files are at about 25%. A separate single-file torrent went from about 90% to 2%.
And just as I was typing this in my Firefox window, Deluge silently crashed.
With these kinds of major data loss bugs, plus the file progress bugs and UI regressions, I think it's ludicrous that these versions are promoted on the front page as "release candidates", or even anything close to beta. I'm "downgrading" to the 0.5 series so that I can have a usable bittorrent client again.

This is very strange. I have never experienced any of the issues you describe and there has never been any bug reports indicating the same. Perhaps instead of bitching you could help track down the bugs by filing tickets with log files and steps to reproduce.
