Deluge Recognizes Torrents, Does Not Download

[Zzzbottom]

I apologize for whatever incompetence; if there's any way that I may supply you with more information (and I'm sure there is; I'm just poorly skilled in these matters), please instruct me on how I may provide it for you. I am infinitely grateful for whatever assistance you may give me.

When I click a magnet link (or a torrent I've downloaded), it enters Deluge and proceeds to sit there. Everything reads 0. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, 6.1 Build 7601.

This is an image of what I see, because I'm sure that anyone willing to help will be able to discern more from it than I can.

Again, if there is any way I may provide you with more information, please just let me know. I'm sorry for my lack of knowledge; I really have looked through the FAQ and searched the forum to try to find a solution.

Thanks in advance.

It's possible because you have 'No Incoming Connections' warning that you unable to retrieve the metadata from peers. Could you supply the magnet link and we can test it.

It's happened with several different links, and I also had the exact same problem with utorrent.

Code: Select all

Is the one shown there.

I clicked on the bit that said "no incoming connections" and this dialog box comes up. Whether I have random ports checked or not, the ports appear to fail the test.

Yay! Some progress!

Thanks for the reply, by the way. Hopefully this helps.

I can't see any problem with the torrent although it is downloading very slowly.

I think this may be network/firewall issue with your computer.

You need to tackle the 'No Incoming Connections': http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Faq# ... onnections

In your screenshot there is a microsoft error (the semaphore timeout period has expired) which is a bit of a concern and the only advise atm is to look at suggestions in this thread on technet

Thanks for your help.

I have the same problem with magnet links in Deluge 1.3.5 on Ubuntu 12.04.

Torrents download without problem but magnets sit at 0.00%.

There are never any active seeds for magnet downloads e.g. the seeds column for a magnet currently reads "0 (642)".

Any idea why this is?

The problem started a couple of weeks ago.

I've just downloaded Deluge and same problem on Archlinux

[edit] If it can help you, some Archlinux users seems to have find workarounds : https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1182319

Thanks rajh, my libtorrent-rasterbar6 had been upgraded via qBittorrent's* PPA to a version incompatible with Deluge.

Downgrading to the version in the Ubuntu repository fixed the problem.

* Why do I have both Deluge and qBittorrent installed? Because Deluge does not have a built-in RSS downloader.
I don't want to use FlexGet because in my opinion integrated RSS handling should be a standard feature of any modern torrent client - and qBittorrent's RSS Downloader is excellent.
However, qBittorrent does not have as good a Blocklist Importer as Deluge, so I use both clients.

It looks like there maybe a magnet issue in 0.16 but arvid cannot reproduce so I am not even sure if he is even attempting to fix it.

Have you looked at YaRSS2 plugin for RSS.
