Adding Torrents

[HoellP]

Hey, I use Deluge 1.1.2 on Ubuntu 8.10 64bit. I have one single problem, I can't add torrents from the command line when starting deluge without gtk. It's the same for the web, console or null ui, when calling like

Code: Select all

deluge -u console incoming/jaunty-desktop-i386.iso.torrent

and when I change ui.conf to start a non-gtk ui.
Adding from the web- or console-ui works as expected, as does starting the gtk-ui and adding a torrent at the same time.
Am I missing something here, or is it a plain bug?
Thanks, Paul

try

Code: Select all

deluge -u console -a 'add <filename>'

so in your example it would be

Code: Select all

deluge -u console -a 'add incoming/jaunty-desktop-i386.iso.torrent'

Funny thing...
The command you gave me adds the torrent, but doesn't start the client. If I try the same command with the web-ui, it won't add the torrent, but start the webui... If I omit the -u parameter, deluge-gtk starts as expected, but the torrent isn't added.
Any more ideas?

the daemon needs to be running when you add a torrent. http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Faq# ... tthedaemon

I forgot to mention that, but the daemon is running all the time... And half the time adding a torrent works, but I'd love to add torrents from cli too, because it's much easier when I'm on SSH.
