No version of Deluge that works on all modern OSes
Posted: Mon Mar 29, 2021 3:18 pm
Hi guys, using Deluge has been a bit of a PITA recently and I figured I'd hear your take before I make any decisions on jumping the ship.
I've been a Deluge user for years now and have a setup where I have a headless Deluge running on my Ubuntu 18.04 home server and use thin clients from my Ubuntu / Windows / OSX computers to control it - and this setup has worked really well for me.
A while back I inadvertently upgraded to Deluge 2.x before realizing there's no 2.x Windows/OSX clients. My bad, I rolled it back, went back to 1.3.
Now it's a year or so later and I upgraded my main machine Ubuntu to 20.04 - focal. As far as I can see there's no straightforward way of installing Deluge 1.3 on focal - it's only 2.x in the packages and the PPA, I think. Meanwhile, almost 2 years since the 2.0.0 release, there's no Deluge 2.x on either Windows or OSX (and the Download page has been throwing 500s over the weekend).
So what's the situation here, is it "we're not really supporting anything other than Linux, use Web UI or don't use Deluge at all"? Or is Deluge just a dying project? I don't think there' has been a release since June 2019.
Also, since I know this post already sounds like complaining, the question really makes little sense as a captcha, I had to google and find the closed ticket to manage to sign up for the forums. It's as good a tool as any in making sure the community doesn't get any bigger.
