I get the following errors when starting deluged on Debian. Each error is repeated many times.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/deluge/core/rpcserver.py", line 259, in dispatch
    ret = component.get("AuthManager").authorize(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/deluge/core/authmanager.py", line 93, in authorize
    raise BadLoginError("Password does not match")
BadLoginError: Password does not match
Password does not match

Version info:

Code: Select all

Debian 6.0.8
Deluged 1.3.6
libtorrent 0.15.10.0

I'm currently at around 850 torrents, and each time I start or restart deluged, some of them are lost. Sometimes I'll lose 20 or 30 torrents on reboot, sometimes none, and this occurs regardless of how I stop or restart the deluged process.

Thanks for the help, if you need any more info I'd be happy to provide it.

You could have a malfomed auth file

OK, thank you! I think I may have solved it.

I realized some of the "Password Does Not Match" errors were because I was connecting through an SSH tunnel in PuTTY and so I had two entries in the Deluge client for "localhost" (i.e. one for the local machine, and one meant to go through the tunnel), so when the connection manager was opened it tried both, and they both got routed through the tunnel to the server as login requests. Changing the tunneled port solved that issue.

So to solve the startup errors, I deleted the auth file and had deluged recreate it, and then re-added my login info. After a few restarts while tailing the log, it hasn't thrown any errors or dropped any torrents.

Although I'm not sure how a malformed auth file could cause torrents to be dropped, it seems that the problem isn't occurring anymore. Thanks for your help!
