Issue connecting with peers and downloading

[Tyler44444]

Let me start out by saying this is my first post in any forum and I apologize if I am not the best at this, but I want to first thank anyone for their time reading and replying to this.

I have recently as of last week moved my NAS from FreeNAS to Arch Linux and reinstalled deluge, my torrent client of choice.

I have followed the directions for installing deluge and have installed it many times before with no issues. Unfortunately, this time that is not the case.

Using the native deluge app connected to the deluge daemon, torrents that are added are unable to connect to peers / download. When I add a torrent, arch distro so that I know it has plenty of peers, deluge finds the tracker, peers, connects to one, transfers a few 100k, and then drops all connections and does nothing.

I have checked the ports to make sure that they are open, in the setting, panel deluge says it is open, along with just temporarily trying UPnP. I don't believe that to be the issue.

On systemctl loading the deluged.service shows no problems.

Code: Select all

I have also tried to make sure that the folder that deluge is supposed to download to has write permissions, although I have noticed that when I add a torrent in deluge it does not make the file in that directory.

Code: Select all

Downloading ls -al ../
total 3
drwxrwxrwx 5 plex   users  5 Oct 26 02:07 .
drwxrwxrwx 4 plex   users  4 Oct 26 02:05 ..
drwxrwxrwx 2 deluge deluge 2 Oct 26 02:05 Downloading

If there is any additional info I can provide let me know, I am truly at a loss

I am running this version of deluge.
extra/deluge 1.3.13+2+g6c73105-1

Libtorrent version?
What's the download folder in the interface?

In the wiki there are options to enable log for the daemon, giving more verbose information about the issue.

Thank you! The debug logging solved it. For some reason even though the downloading folder was owned by deluge it still could not write there. I took the lazy answer and chmod o+w fixed it. It works now which is all I really care about although I still don't understand what the problem was.
