How to connect Deluge via Thin Client

The Deluge Thin Client allows you to manage your remote Deluge instance from your home computer using the native Deluge desktop application.

Important: You must install the exact same version of Deluge on your home computer as the one running on your Appbox. You can download Deluge from deluge-torrent.org.

When you start Deluge on your home computer, make sure it is not in Classic mode — otherwise the Thin Client connection will not work.

Open the Connection Manager and press Add.

Fill in the connection details from your Appbox dashboard. For Port, use your Deluge daemon port (not the web port).

Press Add. If the details are correct, you will see a green dot under Status. Press Connect and you are ready to use Deluge via Thin Client.
