Download path / remote connection "bug"
Posted: Thu Jun 13, 2013 4:17 pm
Hi,
I have been experiencing this annoying behaviour since I started using Deluge on Windows. I only use the GUI here, the Daemon is running on my Raspberry Pi (used to run on my Mac) at home. I'm tunneling the connection via ssh, and since I'm tunneling to 127.0.0.1, the Windows GUI thinks that the daemon is local, therefore providing Windows-style paths for the downloads... And I can't type the paths manually either, since the gui only provides a folder browser, which is local too. Is there a way to fix this without having to make another loopback interface? That used to work, but the last time I did that on this machine it collided with my Hyper-V installations loopbacks and finally destroyed everything network related, forcing me to reinstall Hyper-V...

I simply tunneled my ssh to machine's external IP and that way the GUI realizes that the daemon isn't on this machine. Hope this helps someone else
