Deluge Forum

Hello Deluge,
I need to upload (seed) and download files purely by shell commands, no GUI allowed.
For the download part, deluged and deluge-console work perfectly.

When it comes to uploading (seeding), on Debian, my luck failed me.
I don't know how to tell deluge-console that I actually have the file.

In the current directory I have two files: Data.pdf and Data.pdf.torrent

First I tried Attempting to add torrent: Data.pdf.torrent
Torrent added!

Problem: The torrent is and remains at 0%
deluge-console ignores the Data.pdf file and assumes I want to download.
This is kind of logical because I did not mention the Data.pdf (see the P.S.)
End of story: I am not seeding.

Next I tried Attempting to add torrent: Data.pdf.torrent
Torrent added!

Problem: The torrent is not added at all.
(It is not shown in `deluge-console info` or the GUI.
End of story: I am not seeding.

How to seed files with deluge-console?
Or another command?

Best regards,
Markus

P.S.
The original BitTorrent command works But this is outdated software.

P.P.S.
I use qBitTorrent as tracker, Deluge does not seem to contain a tracker.
Do you recommend another?

When adding use the path option to specify location of torrent data. Note: You will have to doublequote the whole add command.

Thank you, Cas.

This solves it PATH must be the absolute path to the directory that contains Data.pdf.
Example: deluge-console "add -p /home/markus/testP2P/ Data.pdf.torrent"
