resume all when deluge starts

[dbius]

Hi!

First of all sorry for my English!

I have a computer that I use with remote desktop with Ubuntu Jaunty 32 bit. Deluge starts with system startup.

My problem is that my torrents doesn't start (resuming) seeding, downloading automatically when deluge starts, only If I click to resume all button.

I don't know that it was a feature or bug in previous versions, because from 1.1.x version to 1.1.7 it works very well. (my torrents automatically resumed when deluge started, doesn't matter that previously the torrent was paused or not)

From deluge 1.1.8 it doesn't work anymore. My torrents keep paused when deluge starts with system, if I want to resume them I have to click to resume all.

So my question is how can I set deluge to automatically resume all torrents when deluge starts?

[dbius]

Nobody?

I would like to start automatically all torrents at deluge startup, but don't know how, or is it possible?

deluge should resume any previously downloading torrents when it's restarted.
from memory, deluge pauses the torrent when it's checking (to see how much it's downloaded) but it should resume it after that's completed.
are you shutting deluge down prior to shutting down the machine? if you're not deluge would be rechecking each time you start it up which is why it would seem paused.
however it should resume it afterwards, if it's not then that's definitely a bug.

Thx for reply, but I suppose it's a bug, not feature.

I did Everything like before (previous versions), but doesn't work anymore.

What happens if you kill the process and then restart it? I'm on freebsd using 1.1.9 and it restarts after I kill it. Takes about 15-30 seconds to die but once I restart it flawlessly recovers.

If I quit without "pause all torrents" (or kill process) and restart deluge it continues downloading or seeding torrents, but as I realized the stats of the torrents (seeded and downloaded data) will not be correct, because it doesn't send data to tracker before quit or kill process.

So this method I doesn't prefer about this.

Sorry, but I can't explain better in English but my method till version 1.1.7 worked without any problem. (Before I shutdown the computer I clicked to pause all torrents, and after that I shut down the computer. After next system boot deluge started with system startup and it started to seeding or downloading all the torrents that are in the list and that I previously paused before system shutdown. Now if I do the same thing at system startup when deluge starts the torrents (all of it) remains in paused state, It start seeding or downloading If I click to resume all.

It's a problem for me, because this computer mostly I use with remote desktop. (I give a call to my mother to switch it on) and now I have to sit down to a computer from I can reach my remote computer to start seeding or downloading the torrents. It's inconvenient

The problem (bug) seems to be more with the shutdown procedure not properly reporting before it quits rather than the operation of torrents that were paused before shutdown and not resumed after restart.

I would see it as the improper procedure for paused torrents to restart on their own, for instance, after a restart (paused torrents should remain paused until manually restarted).
