I'll stay with 0.5.7.1

Post by onceme »

dishes for food, cups for water.
I like Deluge at the first place because it's a pure tool for torrents without any other functions; I like the all plug-in idea too, so everyone could have a different Deluge; but these two rules have been broke down recently by the build-in search bar and the browser.
so thanks for all the people contribute to this project, I'll continue to update the po file of my language, but I'll stay with 0.5.7.1 :|

i'll say it again...the search and browser *DO NOT* increase memory or cpu usage at all if you have them disabled. heck, they dont even show up if you have them disabled, so you can pick and choose. but you do whatever you want :)

I like deluge for it's purity too and browser and search bar doesn't spoils it at all... just look at package size... increase only for a few kilobytes... just disable browser and search bar like you disable plugins and you will never see them ;)

Actually, it's dependencies that make Deluge bloats. If you compare the dependencies require for 0.5.7.x and 0.5.8, the 0.5.8 is bring a lot dependencies by python-gnome-extras. On FreeBSD, it is depend on python-gnome-extras by default for both ports and packages. For the ports users, they are luck as I have provided option to not depend on python-gnome-extras if they don't want to use browser feature.

By the way, it's why most of us want browser and search to be part of plugins. That way, I can split the package of Deluge. Like for example, create a new package called deluge-plugins-browser and the orignal Deluge package dependencies would be stay small unless users want to install deluge-plugins-browser.

I thought you could still force a package to install even if there are unresolved dependencies, I have very limited linux experience, so I don't really know for sure...

Then that feature of the program just won't work.

I am speaking for FreeBSD, not Linux. ;-) The FreeBSD have two ways to install applications by ports and packages. The package is pre-built binaries with complete list dependencies. These dependencies will be installed with no option provide. The ports is source, users build and can select what dependencies to not install or can install. That's what I meant for users that use ports have option to disable python-gnome-extras dependency.

Well, there IS always Vuze, the corporate bloatware...
Of course, if you just want to just download torrents, you could use libtorrent in its raw form, no plugins or anything unnecessary, guaranteed.

Sheesh...

I just downgraded my version too. Soon I'll know if problem is 0.5.8 final version or if it's those huge torrents which I'm downloading. But deluge seems to be hanging very often. (Several times / hour)

After a while statistics just stop updating.

And after some times like hour or two whole UI freezes becomes completely unresponsive and gets grayed out by OS. (Ubuntu)

I hope that if someone else has encountered these same problems they would report it. Because I can't provide enough detailed information right now. I hope that after checking out how system works after downgrade I could tell exactly that it's the changes that have been made from 0.5.7.1 -> 0.5.8 that cause these problems.

start from command prompt and see if it spits out an error when it hangs on you
