Deluge NTFS Permissions

I have been trying Deluge for a while, and have been going through the RC's for the 1.0 release (Right?). Everything is working quite well, with some problems here and there, but overall I am happy.
Down to the problem. I have 5 partitions that have ntfs as the filesystem. They are doing most of the storage. Now what Ubuntu does to the ntfs is makes the permissions of all the files to be root. There were no problems with this from .5 series, to now RC7. Once I upgraded to RC8 it seems that it is getting a "Permissions Error", probably due to running it on a user account, and not as root. If I do
This now works fine, and my downloads work as they should. I am curious if there was something that could be done for this, as now I am unable to really download anything. (My linux partiion is only 30gb).
Any other details that you need let me know.

Sounds like it's some sort of bug in the latest release, you defiantly shouldn't have to run Deluge as sudo for things to work normally.
On a side note I thought it was generally a very bad idea to work with ntfs in linux.

Yes, it is probably not suggested. I am finding it hard to get a good fs that will work for OSX, Linux, and Windows.
Also finding this error to be a bit outside of the deluge as well, so might be something with my linux at this point.

I don't think this is an error with deluge.. If the files are owned by root and they don't have proper permissions for 'all' users to read/write them, then it won't work with any program.

If it's not deluge then it might be what you are using to interface the ntfs in linux. Apparently from what I read, very little, there's a driver for linux called ntfs-3g is the suggested method... but, unsure if it supports the latest version of ntfs from newer than Windows 2000.
Do you get the same problems if you run deluge in Windows, if you have Windows installed? Or OSX?

Seems it might have been a mixture of the linux partition filling up and a somewhat faulty fstab
Code: Select all
/dev/sdb1 /media/Shows ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
/dev/sdd2 /media/Music ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
/dev/sdd1 /media/Movies ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0
This is my current fstab.
Just showing it for people who might come across the same issue.
