Deluge Forum

I have installed Deluge 1.3.11 on Windows 7 Enterprise x64 and am connected to the Internet via a MiFi device. Each time I click a Magnet link in my browser Deluge opens up with the Torrent in a "Paused" state, and it never actually starts downloading.

In the Deluge Network settings, if I press the "Test Active Port" button is displays an orange triangle with an exclamation mark. When hovering over the symbol nothing pops up but I assume this means the test failed. I have tried manually entering various ports & "Applying" but it still fails.

Upon installation there wasn't an entry in Windows Firewall for Deluge (not sure why one wasn't created) do I manually added 2 entries (for TCP & UDP on all ports). This didn't help.

I have ESET Smart Security 8 installed, so I completely disabled the ESET firewall but this made no difference.

What would cause Deluge to fail the tests?

I have installed QBittorrent and it works fine (and created its own Windows Firewall entries).

Many thanks.

My test also fails? and shows that triangle thing. However, my downloads work just fine. I believe the lower toolbar will say "No incomming connections" if you have an issue.

The status of Paused is the equivalent of stopped on most clients. You might have the option checked of "add new torrents in the paused state". Have you tried highlighting the torrent in questions and clicking the arrow that points to the right to start it?

I did have torrents added in a paused state at first, but I later changed that setting, deleted the torrent & tried again, but to no avail. I did also try right-clicking on the torrent & selected start, but it remains as paused.

I uninstalled Deluge, deleted its folders, and re-installed it in the hope that all settings would be reset to their defaults, ut unfortunately they weren't. I assume Deluge leaves registry info. of a config file behind somewhere.

The settings are in C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\deluge\

It is a hidden folder so you will need to enable seeing hidden folders or type it out directly.
