deluge

Linux and Unix-Like Ubuntu
1

i have ubuntu

i just downloaded the package file for deluge 0.5.8.7
and i installed it using the package installer
and when i try to launch it
it starts to launch but crashes and doesnt show the program
or atleast i think it crashes
any suggestions on deluge or another bittorrent app that has the ability to only download certain files from the torrent versus the entire torrent

I use transmission which allows you do select which files you want (and to give them a priority as well). It is a gtk+ app so will fit quite well with the gnome interface in ubuntu.

Do you get any hints in .xsession-errors?

4

or you could try running it from a terminal session to see if there are any errors

looks like the address/port combination that deluge is trying to use is already in use, do you have another bittorrent client running?

try doing

netstat -t

and see if there are any connections using the configured port (default bittorrent ports are in the renage 6880-6889) but most clients allow you to change them.

i had utorrent running under wine
i didnt relize that thou
right now i got my ip set at 10000 so i got to change that
any other good ports to use besides the ones u stated before
ive got two computers and my router only allows me to foward a port to a single computer

you can pick any port you like, between 1025 and 65536, with modern bittorrent clients, just make sure that the firewall config reflects the port you pick
