Where are the tracker proxy options?

Post by difei »

I noticed there are no tracker proxy options in the new version? Why remove them?

I don't know why.
But it'll be back in the 1.1 version as you can see in the svn version. But as I noticed you'll only be able to define one proxy for all the data. Maybe there'll be an option or plugin to define a proxy for data / tracker traffic seperatly in the future. I don't know.
I downgraded to the last 0.5 version with full proxy support and wait for things coming....

at that rate everybody will be back downgraded to 0.5.9... There are a lot of choices made in 1.X that I just cannot understand. Isn't making new versions of a program about making it better ? :?

although we appreciate you being an asshole, you should know that the current developers inherited a piece of ****, code-wise. the old code was so poorly designed that we had no choice but to rewrite it all from scratch. this is why 1.x doesnt have all of the features of 0.5.x...it's a rewrite, and everything will need to be redone. eventually we'll get there, but it takes time.

pal, take it from me (a coder with a temper) even if the code you took over was shite, and it was hell just to take it to the next level, it's not the person who is using it (and supporting your efforts) who is the enemy...

If you feel angst, have a drink, have a toke, do whatever it is you do to relax... but biting off the heads of people who are on your side is just gonna get you nowhere... I make it a point never to post angry...

hell, I'm here looking for the same answer... I can't use Deluge without a Proxy (or my entire connection is throttled to 30 k) so nope... I can't upgrade either... and as half the sites I use have the 0.5.x as outdated and banned... well... I'm forced to use another client. (and I haven't yet, but I'll have to).

have faith, keep up the great work, all my best, and keep smiling :)
cheers,

As thetester said, it will be in 1.1, if you can't wait until then you can install SVN (which it's also in).

Well if you install v1.x from SVN there will be all the proxy options you need:
How do I install 1.0 SVN ?

First you need to install the necessary dependencies. In Ubuntu and Debian, do this:

$ sudo apt-get install g++ make python-all-dev python-all python-dbus python-gtk2 python-notify python-setuptools librsvg2-common python-xdg python-support subversion libboost-dev libboost-python-dev libboost-iostreams-dev libboost-thread-dev libboost-date-time-dev libboost-filesystem-dev libboost-serialization-dev libssl-dev zlib1g-dev Next you need to get the latest revision from SVN and build/install it:

$ svn co http://svn.deluge-torrent.org/trunk deluge # for development version
$ svn co http://svn.deluge-torrent.org/branches/1.0.0_RC deluge # for 1.0.x stable
$ cd deluge
$ sudo rm -fr /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/deluge-1.0*
$ python setup.py build
$ sudo python setup.py install

If you have already checked the source out and simply want to update your current tree, then do the following in the deluge directory:

$ svn up
$ sudo rm -fr ./build #only needed if libtorrent was changed.
$ python setup.py build
$ sudo python setup.py install
But do not forget to chance all "1.0" to "1.x" where x is the actual release version (currently: 1.1)
I compiled and installed it for myself and it works perfectly with SOCKS4auth support:
