Thin client GTK UI problem with downloads folder

I have workarrounded this but it's an annoying problem. I cannot add torrents to remote server without having the same dowload folder path in my local computer.

I've a remote deluge server over Raspbian (1.3.3-2+nmu1). Configured folowing standard guide (http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/UserGuide/ThinClient) and I've configured as default download folder /media/usbdisk/torrent wich matchs an external usb disk (obvious, isn't it?)

I connect from an ubuntu machine to remote server through a ssh tunnel like this:

Code: Select all

ssh -L 127.0.0.2:58846:localhost:58846 pi@xx.xx.xx.xx
Then I run my local Deluge GTK UI and I can connect without problems and see active downloads, alter preferences... all works normally. BUT (there's allways a BUT) when I try to add a new torrent or magnet, the default download folder change to /media (wich is an exisiting folder in my local computer), then I cannot choose my remote default folder /media/usbdisk/torrent because deluge gtk client only shows my local folder structure. Trying to change default preferences apparentely works at firts but when I try to add a new torrent have the same result, only /media and other existing folders can be choosen.

I've been forced to create the same path on my local folder structure, then Deluge is fooled and it works, torrent are correctly downloaded on remote server but I think it seems a bit rough solution.

There is any way to force Deluge GTK UI to use remote folder structure?

Thanks

Did you add 127.0.0.2 to the gtk connection manager as specified in the guide?
