Deluge Forum

How about some documentation? I have a headless server, and I see a Web user interface exists. I don't see what options start Deluge without the graphical interface, I don't see what command or configuration file options enable the web interface.

deluge 0.6 is in development.
The 0.6 FAQ is located here : http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Faq
Warning : it's in development, and it will break sometimes.

A FAQ is not documentation. How about lists of the command line parameters, plugins, and configuration file settings? For that matter, whether there are editable configuration files. That information is also needed by people trying to decide whether to use this client. Saying you're trying to make the best client does not matter if people don't use it...I skipped over it at first because there is no list of whether it has the features which I need. I now think Deluge might have enough features, and I found a workaround for another needed ability.

ALSO DOCUMENT THE PROCESSES WHICH ARE STARTED!

I tested deluge and it left some webserver daemon running which it had started. No notification that it did that, and I have no documentation on how to access the webserver.

In my list of torrent recommendations I'm listing Deluge as dangerous and undocumented.

I'm interested to see this "list" you have...

In a related subject why are you going to complain about the documentation on software that's in active development in the first place? They clearly stated that it was in development, it's clearly not suggested for general use as yet...
