Deluge Forum

Hi guys,

I just updated to 2.0 and I only miss one thing from previous version : the output of deluge-console info

It used to give every info on torrents including age, tracker, etc. and now it's much more concise.

As deluge-console accept more parameters maybe there is a way to get more verbose output on a torrent but I didn't find any.

I used to regex the output to generate all kind of useful stats from it and I do miss the old deluge-console info
(You maybe know this feeling when your code broke after an update)

Do you know how could I get the same infos I used to have (ex: age of the torrent, tracker announce and current tracker), even if it is through a file I'd have to parse or maybe through python deluge libraries (without having to do a full deluge plugin) ?

Thanks

Yeah, I felt same, and I missed seed/peer count myself. In the old version, then the verbose, and extra-verbose switches of 'info' command, gave some not that useful info, as you already had the useful ones, but now, the verbose switch('-v') is the answer to your question - quote the commands or you get version info of libs used.

BTW, this new version has a code change to now not support anymore the pretty awesome "beginning-with" filtering/matching, but now suport one or two asterisks, so supports globbing pretty good, which is even nicer/more-powerful, for filtering based on either beginning, end or somewhere in-between/middle, of torrentname/hash. There's also full tab-completion in interactive/curses mode, like in old version, but I'm here talking about when used from terminal(non-interactive/curses), e.g from shell-aliases/functions. Just in case you didn't knew

Ohhh I already tried Which returns the current version but not I feel that when to pass parameters or just commands to deluge-console is pretty ambiguous. Is there any real doc on it ? I just found man pages giving the parameters but for example commands between brackets are not mentioned anywhere (anywhere I've seen).

Thanks man

You're welcome

Yeah, the documentation is rather lacking really, on that part of project, which probably is because isn't that popular I'm guessing, but atleast we have the 'help <command>'.

Alright thanks a lot, I'm back at it I forget the possibility to pass commands between brackets.
