Deluge Forum

I've got Ubuntu and Windows 7 dual booted on my computer, and since I use both, I'd like to be able to resume torrent downloads on either OS.

I've got uTorrent on Windows 7, and Deluge on Ubuntu, both set to automatically add and copy torrent files to/from a Torrents folder on an NTFS partition. Going from Windows to Linux works fine, Deluge loads up the torrents, checks the progress, and continues. It also, for some reason, seems to delete or move the torrents it loads. I can watch it happen if I have the torrents folder open, as soon as Deluge loads, the torrent files disappear.

It makes it a pain because if I want to resume the downloads on Windows, I either have to keep backups of the current torrents, or go find them again on the internet.

Anyone have any advice? I googled it and searched the forum, but couldn't find anything relevant.

I think you will find it has simply moved them to Deluge's config directory in a folder called state.

Oh, ok. I figured there must be something more going on than it just deleting files, considering it had no problem resuming them..

Is there any way to set it up to leave copies of the torrent files in the folder until I choose to delete them? I think changing permissions on the folder would more or less get it working, though.

No, there is no way to get it to leave copies of torrents in the autoadd folder right now. What you could do, is enable the option 'Copy of .torrent files to' Which will automatically copy all torrents you add to a specified folder. Changing the permissions for your watch folder will not work, autoadd needs read and write permissions, if it doesn't have them it will stop working after the first torrent it tries to add.
