deluge via ssh

[uknowho008]

whats up guys?

i set up a little server primarily for dealing with torrents. right now im using wine to run utorrent. and although ive head utorrent is still a little better i would rather support an open source project built for linux. so i think im going to give deluge a try. but i have a few questions first.

could i run it through ssh with X and have it keep running when im not logged in through say "screen" or something? reason i ask is because i tried this with utorrent and the program shutdown when i closed the terminal with or without screen handling it.

i guess i could just use webui instead but im not sure i want too.

does deluge automatically collect torrents from a folder? i also have that set up with samba so i can just drag the torrent over to the server.

i guess thats all for now unless i remember something else. thanks and keep up the good work.

not sure, try it.
deluge 0.5.8 needs X to run however 0.6 (which is still in the works) doesn't.

yes. Preferences -> Autoload all torrent files in: ...

i havent had a chance to install deluge yet. but im wondering if i set the folders the same as utorrent will it resume my current torrents? i have a lot going right now. also is there a set date for v6?

it'll resume. there's no date

i dont see an auto load option in preferences

[uknowho008]

it worked at first. but when i loaded all the torrents it started them over instead of resuming them. i set the download folder and complete folder to the folder i had set up for utorrent. since it was starting over i closed the program and now when i try to start deluge i get this error

ok, i fixed the statup error by deleting the persistent.state file

but how do i add my torrents without starting all the them from the beginning?
