Deluge
I have been using ad filled uTorrent and decided to see if it is greener on the other side. I came up with Deluge and for the most part was wildly impressed - especially with the whole daemon piece - which enabled me to start as a service whenever the machine reboots - and I don't have to log in. For that service setup I used NSSM. My impression is that upon doing a reboot/shutdown, Windows is shutting down services - so deluge goes down nicely.
At any rate out of no where my 400+ torrents vanished. I did some Googling - I am not alone. One option was going to a folder and double clicking to re-add the torrents. http://forum.deluge-torrent.org/viewtop ... =7&t=37655
I tried that - it created the folder under some place else (c:\users) and not my standard download folder. Then I had to piss around moving files BACK from my completed folder - into the other folder - do the recheck then move things out. I have only done about 15 files so far.
I check - and we are going back to 2011 at least with people complaining. Do I assume zero support? If I ever have a problem with uTorrent - it may force a recheck - but otherwise I have never had this happen (With the original XP setup or after the migration to Win8). I have about 1000 torrents - and at this point stuck - move ahead with migrating everything from uTorrent to this app - or now test out qBittorrent more and jump ship?
Sure I can spend the time with a detailed spec email - but it appears this app isn't ready for prime time. I blew 3 hours moving ½ torrents away from uTorrent. Not going to spend another 3 hours getting them back into Deluge only to have this problem happen again --- I believe 100% it will.. Not trivial - I may download something and exclude a whack of crap I don't want. Bringing these torrents back - now they say % incomplete - I figure I lost data - but in reality I have to remember to go back and "do not download" specific files. WASTE-O-TIME.com.
Sad. Very sad.
