Deluge Forum

Hi there,

In the first version of version 2.0.0 the ability to change the owner of the torrent was available in the thin client interface. With the latest version, this is no longer there. Or at least I can't find it.

This is not a filesystem or permissions ownership issue, but more on how Deluge identifies which one of the users in the auth file added the torrent. Ones that are added by the server, all say admin (localhost) in the thin client. But all the ones added manually to deluge by myself in the thinclient show the owner as my name since that's what I originally setup as the login for it.

It's not hurting anything, but it bugs me that I can't change it.

Any suggestions for fixing this or does anyone know when it disappeared?

Thank you.

You're right, thanks for reporting! I located the issue and made a bug-ticket.

Linux users can change themselves the source meanwhile, if wanted, e.g. in deluge 2.1.1 change from line 587 of here '/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/deluge/ui/gtk3/menubar.py', from:
To: Windows users(such as reporter), sadly will have to wait for official fix, as the source files not available to edit there.

@darcmandeluge, when you say the server uses 'localclient' for added files, then seemingly you refer to autoadd plugin, which has an option for setting owner, and uses 'localclient' if nothing set I see. Just in case not aware.

Thanks again.

Fixed build of deluge.exe for windows(deluge 2.1.1 x64, libtorrent version irrelevant - Replace '%programfiles%\Deluge\deluge.exe' - My build has 3 false-positives on virustotal, from none of main popular ones, and original deluge.exe 2 false-positives on virustotal)

Fixed menubar.py for linux(deluge 2.1.1 - Replace e.g.here '/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/deluge/ui/gtk3/menubar.py')

Alternative one-liner making above change for linux:

Code: Select all

sudo find /usr -path "*/deluge/ui/gtk3/menubar.py" -exec sed -i 's/.new_with_label(maingroup, /(group=maingroup, label=/' {} \;

What a boss.
