Installation
deluge is available from the official repositories.
# pacman -S deluge
The gtk UI requires additional dependencies as does the webui. Inspect the pacman output to determine which are right for the intended application.
python2-notify: libnotify notifications pygtk: needed for gtk ui librsvg: needed for gtk ui python2-mako: needed for web ui
Daemon Setup
Deluge can run as a system daemon which is accessible to any system user or it can run in a non-daemon mode. The focus of this article is on the daemon mode of operation. Users wishing a more simplistic setup, i.e. running /usr/bin/deluged as them-self should be able to read on and simply substitute the systemctl commands for the live files on the system.
Start the deluge backend daemon like any other systemd service:
# systemd start deluged
Create a User
To allow interaction with the daemon, create a user:password:level in /srv/deluge/.config/deluge/auth.
For example:
# echo "delugeuser:p422WoRd:10" >> /srv/deluge/.config/deluge/auth
The number 10 corresponds to a level of 'Admin.' Refer to the following table for additional values:
| Level Name | Level Value |
|---|---|
| None | 0 |
| Read Only | 1 |
| Normal | 5 |
| Admin | 10 |
Define Options
- Load the gtk client
/usr/bin/deluge-gtk - Disable classic mode from the Edit>Preferences>Interface.
A restart of the client is required for these changes to take effect. Exit the client and reload it.
- Setup the client to point to the daemon from Edit>Connection Manager.
- Delete the dummy server by hightlighting it and clicking the "Remove" button.
- Create an entry to the daemon via the "Add" button populating the resulting dialog with either the IP address or the word "localhost" as the hostname. Populate the "Username" and "Password" fields with the username and password used in the daemons setup. and then click the "+ Add" button.
Hostname: localhost Username: delugeuser Password: p422WoRd:10
If the correct credentials were populated, a green light should appear options for interaction adjacent to the name of the server. To connect, hit the "Connect" button.
Users can now configure their server from the GUI. Most of the options are self explanatory and intuitive. More details are available on the official Deluge wiki for details.
Interacting with the Daemon
As previously mentioned, users have three options to connect to the daemon:
- Deluge-GTK
- Deluge-Web
- Deluge-console
Deluge-Gtk
The gtk client has already been covered in the previous section. Users should now have a fully functional client.
Deluge-Web (Optional)
To enable encrypted connections to/from the daemon, simply edit the https variable in /srv/deluge/.config/deluge/web.conf changing the default value of false to true as shown:
"https": true,
Take note of the doublequotes and the trailing comma!
Users wishing to regenerate self-signed certificates can refer to this link.
To run the web ui, simply start the web-daemon:
# systemctl start deluge-web
Point a browser to https://localhost:8112. Substitute the word localhost with an IP address if the server is elsewhere.
When asked for a password, enter "deluge" as it is the default password.
The preferences in the web UI is highly similar to the gtk UI. As explained in the previous section, edit the connection manager and define an entry to the daemon using the same credentials used in the setup step. Once finished, users are free to remove the dummy server entry.
Hostname: localhost Username: delugeuser Password: p422WoRd:10
Deluge-Console (Optional)
The CLI client /usr/bin/deluge-consle can also be used to connect to a running daemon. Invoke it from a shell. To connect, simply type:
connect localhost delugeuser p422WoRd:10
Troubleshooting
Magnet Links Are Broken with Chromium
The following command should return "deluge.desktop":
$ xdg-mime query default "x-scheme-handler/magnet"
If it returns a null, run this command:
$ xdg-mime default deluge.desktop application/x-bittorrent x-scheme-handler/magnet

Downloads Don't Start
As of libtorrent-rasterbar version 0.16, Deluge will not download torrents that are added by a magnet link.
Downgrading libtorrent-rasterbar to 1:0.16.3-1 should fix it.
# pacman -U http://arm.konnichi.com/extra/os/$(uname -m)/libtorrent-rasterbar-1:0.16.3-1-$(uname -m).pkg.tar.xz
Remember to add libtorrent-rasterbar to an IgnorePkg line in /etc/pacman.conf to keep it from being updated until a fix is completed.
