Bytesized's favorite torrent client.

movies
ortv
label.

- LabelPlus is disabled by default but can be re-enabled.
'''13th March 2015'''
- Updated guide to running two separate daemons on the same box.
== Tips and Tricks ==
=== Transdroid Setup ===
- '''Server type:''' Deluge 1.2+
- '''IP/Domain:'''
yourservername.bysh.me
- '''Username:''' your lowercased username
- '''Password:''' your Deluge password
- '''Deluge Web Password:''' your Deluge password
- '''Advanced settings port:''' your Deluge web port.
''Make sure your web interface is connected to the daemon.''
=== Update Deluge App ===
To update to the latest version (currently 1.3.15):
Open ~/.bysh_versions
and change the version number (e.g., 1.3.x → 1.3.15).
Save the file.
From the Account Details page, stop and restart the Deluge App.
Alternatively, set the version to latest
to always get the newest release.
=== Disable Auto-Renaming (FileBot) ===
If you don't want your files analyzed/renamed:
Open ~/.config/deluge/filebot.py
.
Find:
scriptOptions = { 'whitelist': [] ..more stuff here }
Change 'whitelist': []
to 'whitelist': ['tagged']
.
FileBot will now only analyze torrents with the tagged
label.
=== Deluge & Plex with LabelPlus (Deprecated) ===
- Use normal labels
tv
andmovies
for the FileBot approach.
- To use LabelPlus:
** Enable the LabelPlus plugin.
** Add a torrent.
** Right-click → LabelPlus → select '''Tv''' or '''Movies'''.
** Plex will pick up the torrent once downloaded.
==== Autolabels ====
- LabelPlus can auto-label torrents based on names or trackers.
- Works via thin client with LabelPlus plugin installed locally.
=== Multiple Deluge Daemons ===
'''Duplicate config directory'''
cp -r ~/.config/deluge ~/.config/deluge2 rm ~/.config/deluge2/state/*
'''Alter listening ports'''
- Edit
~/.config/deluge2/core.conf
.
- Change
daemon_port
andweb_port
(increment by 1).
# '''Start new daemon'''
deluged --config ~/.config/deluge2
(If needed, stop existing withkillall deluged
.)
# '''Configure Auth File'''
Add:
username:password:10
# '''Connect via GUI/WebUI''' using new port and credentials.
== Troubleshooting ==
=== Fluctuating Speeds (100MB/s → 10MB/s) ===
- Caused by Deluge’s internal caching (flushes to disk then resumes).
- Still faster than rTorrent overall.
=== Disk Space Counter ===
- Deluge’s built-in counter isn’t reliable for managed boxes.
- Use the '''box dashboard''' counter.
=== Change Web Interface Password ===
- Go to '''Preferences → Interface''' and update password.
== Browser Addons ==
=== Chrome: Remote Torrent Adder ===
- '''Server:''' Bytesized – Deluge
- '''Host:'''
username.server.bytesized-hosting.com
- '''Port:''' 80 (no SSL)
- '''Username/Password:''' your Deluge credentials
- '''Relative Path:'''
/deluge
== Creating a .torrent File ==
Example command:
mktorrent -v -p -a http://tracker.url -o filename.torrent folder_name
-
-v
verbose
-
-p
private
- <cod*
