Deluge Forum

Hello,

My name is Brad and I would like to join in development of Deluge.

A little about me.

I know some C#/C/C++ none of them Great, A newb to Python but it is very interesting and a few other useless languages such as Vb/Vba.
I find it fun to play/use multiple operating systems both native/virtualized as well which could help in testing different ports and supporting different versions.
I'm From Australia.

Basically I would like to start really small and not bite off too much.

1) First I would like to fix the "bug" that I submitted http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/ticket/595
Its more of an annoyance that I would to resolve ...

2) I would like to add a per torrent scheduler or perhaps just a global scheduler.
This is useful for people such as myself who have different download quotas for peak/off-peak time.

Anyway thought i would introduce myself and let people know what i would like to work on.
Is there any tips that people could give to kick my development off?

Cheers
Brad

Bug 595 isn't something I would bother looking into.. It's probably just a result of using a gtk listview and there isn't too much we can do about it. Basically when a window moves across another you are sending events to the child widgets to redraw themselves and with a listview that is updated like ours, it can become quite slow.

The scheduler on the other hand would be worthwhile. There are others interested in this development, so you may wish to hang out on IRC and track them down. It would need to be implemented as a plugin and this would give you some good insight into how the code works since a plugin is almost a mini-version of Deluge itself.

In any case, you'll probably learn the most from hanging out in IRC, asking questions, trying to fix small bugs and starting with plugin development.

Thanks very much for the heads up.

I will find what info i can on plugins and also hang out in the IRC when i get a chance.

I appreciate the pointers.

are you using something like compiz?

Hello,

No the particular issue was with my work computer running XP.
It's not really a huge problem.
