Deluge Forum

I have deluged running on my headless gutsy server. I am able to connect to it through the gtk gui on my laptop. When I find a torrent with my laptop and add it to deluge, it just says "checking" forever. I waited a half hour, and still nothing. Just says "checking" sometimes it says "chekcing" and others it says "checking 0.00%"

Is this a known bug? I have not found a post with a solution.
This is not an issue with a specif torrent file. I have tried 6 files from three sites and the same behavior is displayed.

Thanks

does forcing a recheck do anything?

same here with the newest svn on ubuntu 8.10 (beta), using the "normal" gui (no headless server).
forcing a recheck doesn't help.
curious:

• it happens to torrents which are already finished (added them for seeding)
• most torrents work well but just a few stuck on "checking" (not systematically, i think).
• After restarting deluge some more torrents work but some stuck on "checking".

I am now using Deluge 1.0.3 and I am still facing the same problem: when deluge tries to check big incomplete torrents (larger than 1 GB or so), it just says "checking" or "checking 0,00%" for ever. Even if I remove and re-add the torrent, the same thing happens. There doesn't seem to be a way to make the torrent continue downloading.

Is there a fix or a workaround? This problem is serious and I may be forced to use another client

Could you please send me the .torrent?

Also, are you selecting any file priorities?

Sorry, I can't send it to you because it's from a private tracker.

No, I don't select file priorities. It's a single-file torrent.

I had the same problem, I later found out ( after trying a lot of difficult things first) that the partition I was downloading to was full. Something you might want to check.

The partition is definitely not full. And the problem keeps happening all the time...

check that the user account deluge runs from has write permission to the disk
