Deluge dropping connections

[SatNav]

First off, props to the devs - this is shaping up to be the best native linux torrent client, IMO. Once compact storage allocation is working, I'll be able to ditch Wine+uTorrent for good. Also, file prioritisation would be nice

So I'm having a strange problem with deluge - I've searched about and I can't seem to find anyone else with the same problem. What happens is, I'll add a torrent, it contacts the tracker and gets the peer list, seeds and peers show up on the torrent line, all fine.

Then, over the next fifteen minutes or so, the seed and peer totals gradually fall to zero, and all the connections get dropped. At any point, I can update the tracker, and they all come back, but this is obviously not a good solution, and deluge only updates it itself once an hour (I don't know if this is a tracker setting or a deluge default).

Is anyone else having this problem? Is there something I'm missing, or should I submit a bug report?

Cheers,
Mark

thanks, glad you like it. btw, compact allocation is working in 0.5.1 beta 1. there was a problem earlier with libtorrent giving up on peers too quickly, but this should be fixed now in 0.5.1 beta 1. have you tried it there, or only in 0.5.0?

Ah - that's probably it then - I have been using 0.5.0. Thing is, I've now upgraded to beta 1, and when I run it, I get this:

edit: my bad, this has already been addressed elsewhere. Thanks again!
