Deluge on Linux and Vista?

Post by cgot2b »

Hi,

I'm currently running Linux Mint and Vista on my notebook. Depending on what I have to do (work, entertainment, gaming, etc.) I run both OS equally.
90% of the time I'm running Deluge in the background.
That's why I created a FAT32 partition, so I could download the torrents using both OS. The problem is, that when I recheck the torrents in Deluge, it doesn't recognize the advancement made under the other OS.
Does anybody have any experience running Deluge under Linux and Vista?
I would appreciate the help.

by rechecking, do you mean right-click->force recheck?
if you do this it should show you how much of the torrent you actually have.

You can get rid of FAT completely, by using either the Ext2 driver for Windows or ntfs-3g with an NTFS partition. Thus, if FAT creates this problem, it will be solved.

@ Johnnyg

yes, I hit force recheck. But it just showed me the percentage reached in that OS

@ Nameless

I use the Ext2 drivers with my other Linux partitions to exchange files, but in read-only-mode, because I don't trust windows not to mess up the formatting.
But I'll try formatting and see if it works
