Max Active Torrents setting for up *AND* down.

[D4rthPr0n]

I have trawled around the web and the forum ... and the closest I have seen to what I suggest was this:

http://forum.deluge-torrent.org/viewtop ... e+torrents

Currently my Deluge 0.5.9.3 allows only 8 active torrents, and no matter how I tweak my settings, only the first 8 items in the queue get any action.

Why not have two queues? One for Leech ... and one for Seed? That way the spirit of BitTorrent can be preserved in that one can have a handful of torrents leeching, while simultaneously returning the favour by seeding a handful of completed torrents.

PLEASE guys ... the normal Windows BitTorrent client does this swimmingly ... help the *nix folks out!

Another massive leap forward would perhaps be to keep the Ubuntu repository fairly updated, or provide a decent alternative!

There are unofficial repositories with the most recent Deluge version, see here.

The latest version (1.1.4) supports this.

Jaunty will only be released in April 2009 ... and from this link Intrepid only sports 0.5.9.3-1

The latest version (1.1.4) supports this.

From aforementioned link the latest version for Jaunty is 1.1.3

See what I mean with proper repository support?

Make it easy for the unwashed masses to install and you will undoubtedly corner the market, since I believe Deluge to be a decent product.

Currently my Deluge pops up a little dialog every time I start it up, saying a newer version is available, but I click "No" since a prior attempt to install said new version resulted in failure. So I am arguing that until 1.1.4 hits the 'official channels' I may be stranded with Neanderthal torrent software.

Maybe 1.2 can remedy the distribution problem and pop up in Synapse like everything else?

deluge does have proper repository support; it's in the ubuntu repos.
if you however want to upgrade deluge without waiting for a new ubuntu version then you can add an unofficial repo to your software sources:

1. In the Ubuntu menu, go to System
2. then Administration
3. then Software Sources
4. Click the Third-Party Software tab
5. Click Add
6. Enter

   Code: Select all

   deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/deluge-team/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main

   (assuming you're using intrepid)
7. Click Add Source

Once you've done that (and updated your sources list) you'll then be able to add/update deluge through synaptic.

Much obliged johnnyg!

Now sporting 1.1.4 ... small niggle though ... it seems to forget my configurations. Is that normal?

[johnnyg]

not really, what configurations?
It should be storing your preferences in

Code: Select all

~/.config/deluge/

This could be due to a bug in 1.1.4. Upgrade to 1.1.5 which has been been released as source tarball, and should soon be in repositories.
