Rename torrent

Post by HediSIX »

Hi,
I have been trying to rename a torrent, the folders or files of torrent being downloaded or completed.
I have read some stuff about using F2 or double clicking while selecting the torrent in the GUI but it's not working at all.
Has anyone an idea if this is at all possible and how to do it ?
I am running Deluge 2.2.0
Thank you for any help you could provide !

You will need to go to the files tab in the details at the bottom, and rename the main torrent's folder/file - there is no way to rename the torrent from the torrent list itself.

Thanks for the reply but I have looked there an could not find any option to rename! I have tried right click, double click, F2. This is driving me crazy 🤪

You say GUI, but are you in the WebUI or the actual Deluge client program itself?

If you simply single click in Deluge (the program, not the WebUI) it will allow you to rename it.

I use a docker based deluge on an unraid server, so only using the webUI, I should have been clearer, sorry.

You should look into using the thin-client, it provides a native deluge experience which far surpasses the webui's performance. I have a tutorial written you can look at that may help you with setting this up.

Finally made it work thanks to you.
I did not realise that the WebUI had these limitations. Do you believe it will be aligned with the app GUI eventually ?
Thanks again for your support.

It is not a high-priority issue given that the thin client is the ideal way to interface remotely, but perhaps at some point.
