Deluge 1.0.0 Released

[Ux64]

Yay! It seems that I like it... And that's something very special. I have so long experience about developing programs and user interfaces, that I usually always find something to nag about. But this far it looks darn good!

* Keep up the GREAT work *

- Thank you!

I just remembered something... It was almost perfect... But configuration parameter conversion from old version to new version automaticly failed... If it's even supposed to work.

great work! i am downloading and compiling it on my FC9 as I am typing. Would appreciate now if someone could spend a little time on the documentation. I still don't know how to gracefully stop deluge -ui and deluged. Only way I know is killing it. Also don't know how to start deluge -ui properly. I am starting it using "deluge -u web -l deluge.log &". Some docs in this would help for newbies trying to plunge into now "released" deluge 1.0.0.

Good job.

Looks good, but my torrent list failed to transfer to the new version (on Ubuntu hardy, 64 bit). Are there any tricks for getting the list imported?

Killing it is just fine.. Deluge catches the signals and shuts down properly.

I think it might not be associating with .torrent files in x64 Vista because it never asked for the administrator password when installing, although installing it from the administrator account didn't seem to help either.

I just set it manually to the deluge.cmd, but it won't show the deluge icon...

Ok, nevermind, I just uninstalled and reinstalled and it did ask me for the administrator password and it did associate with .torrent, but still no deluge icon.

Wow! Congratulations on the release!

Anyway, I'm on Ubuntu 8.04, and everything's mostly going well. Seems like it's a rare issue, so I'm thinking it's my fault, but for me, deluged crashes (goes zombie) every few hours and I lose a substantial amount of progress each time (Fedora 9 image 1 GB lost each time.) A clean install of deluge didn't seem to help. Deluge is simply the best bittorrent client for me on Ubuntu, so I'd love to keep using it. What am I doing wrong?

Also, even if Deluge crashes, how come progress is lost? I left uTorrent/wine because it crashed a few times on me, but it doesn't lose its place when it crashes. Is this data loss because Deluge only writes complete pieces to the hard drive or something, or can only keep track of complete pieces?

Anyway, any help would be appreciated. I really love the clean interface and the speed that Deluge offers.

Edit: Oh, I'm also noticing that Deluge seems to upload strangely. Right now, it claims to be uploading only at 5 to 7 KB/sec, but my internet is crawling. When I open up System Monitor, I see that I'm uploading at 20 KB/sec to 40 KB/sec (it fluctuates rapidly.) I'm not uploading anywhere else, and when I close Deluge, this number promptly drops to 0. What's going on?

It's great that Deluge has finally made it to a final release (although I still think it should be considered beta-quality, no offense).

I can report the same kind of experience zombietorrent just did. I too have noticed that sometimes deluged seems to go into zombie mode, all downloads stall and when I add new torrents they newer start downloading (it just says Checking 0%). Only way to keep it going is to kill the process (which doesn't always work either, you have to do "kill -9 xxxx" and "kill -15 xxxx" multiple times before it disappears).

I've also noticed the upload speed issue. This seems to happen when deluged goes into zombie mode. It says nothing is uploaded although when I run bwm-ng on the server it tells me it's uploading at full speed.

I've also had the same issue as Loki when installing Deluge on Windows Server 2008. I had µTorrent installed aswell and there seems to be no way of associating torrent files to Deluge. I don't even know how to do it manually (Firefox won't let me use the deluge.cmd file to open torrent files).

Note that both these issues happened when using RC9, haven't had time to use 1.0 that much yet but I suppose they'll happen anytime soon as I didn't see these issues mentioned in the changelog. Anyway I think you should quickly integrate the plugins people use the most (probably the scheduler, the notifier and the torrent creator) and after that start working on squashing all the bugs. As this is a rewrite of the old program I guess it's normal to be a bit more buggy than what would be the case if it was just an upgrade.

Oh, so it's not just me having problems. That's good... and bad. I was hoping it was just me, so it'd be my fault... Anyway, I also am having some problems with force recheck. I can hear the hard drive thrashing when I tell it to force recheck, but often times the torrent I force rechecked completely disappears from Deluge.

Well...doesnt run at all
Platform is Win XP SP3. Havent tried the 0.9 RCs yet, maybe those will do the job.
