Deluge does not download anything

Troubleshooting
1

Hi all. I have an issue with Deluge.

I just reinstalled the last release from sratch because of a SD failure after a couple of years of continuous usage of the last one. The system was always kept up to date.

After the flash on the new SD I tried to replicate my previous setup. I have an external NTFS USB drive mounted at /mnt/storage where I used to save downloads. I mounted it with dietpi-drive_manager. I also installed the ntfs-3g driver and I’m able to create and delete files in the mounted drive.

dietpi@DietPi:~$ df -h

I reinstalled Deluge from the software utility and pointed the download folder to /mnt/storage/Torrents/Downloading/

Everything seems similar to my old setup. The services are runnig as expected, the web ui works perfectly and the user permissions seem right.

dietpi@DietPi:~$ ps -ef | grep deluge
debian-+    1592       1  1 Sep13 ?        00:14:39 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/deluged -d
debian-+    1605       1  0 Sep13 ?        00:01:25 deluge-web

dietpi@DietPi:~$ groups debian-deluged
debian-deluged : dietpi debian-deluged

All that said, every torrent I add to the download list via the web ui do not start. They just stay there at 0%

I see Peers and Peers constantly at 0.

BTW, I added a torrent that points to /mnt/storage/Torrents (USB drive) and one that points to /mnt/dietpi_userdata/deluge (system SD card) and neither of them starts, so I’m inclined to say that it’s NOT the destination drive type or FS that causes the issue

The logs don’t say much.

I didn’t change any of the default ports. In deluge web-ui I have “incoming port” set to 6881, and I can’t see it in the list. “outgoing ports” is ser to random

Can anyone please tell me what I am missing?

yes, you are missing the newest feature (bug) of Deluge application :wink:

I played with it and had the same issue to download stuff from a source (RPi image)

After playing around I found the trigger to get Deluge to LISTEN on port 6881. Within the preference menue, simple hit the arrow down/up button to change port from 6881 to 6882 and back to 6881. Apply the change and check ports again

ss -tulpn | grep deluged

You should see port being used now. Perform a “force recheck” in Deluge Web UI. At least this start the download on my test system.

make sure your permissions are correct for the Torrent drive, that was my problem

4

That was it!!!

I just had to change the port, and apply, then change it back, and apply, and after some seconds, the downloads started one by one by themselves.

Thank you very much!! You really saved my day.

P.S.

the

ss -tulpn | grep deluged

command does not show any port used by deluged anyway.

strange, for me this is working perfectly.

Is this something we can fix our end? I wonder what changed, since there was no Deluge package update since 2021. But probably we apply the listen ports incorrectly, which gets fixed by switching them in web UI back and forth?

Yesterday I was looking at this problem and I found a thread that says that connections aren’t working if your incoming port is NOT set to random in the network settings.

I guess yes. Looke like port configuration was not fitting. It should be

    "listen_ports": [
        6881,
        6881
    ],

instead of

    "listen_ports": [
        6881,
        6891
    ],

I tried to fix it using DietPi-Software | Deluge: Fix listening port on Bullseye by Joulinar · Pull Request #5872 · MichaIng/DietPi · GitHub

Isn’t it possible to set a range of ports? AFAIK this was intended, also the reason there are two entries, start and end of the port range.

10

The UI don’t offer such a range. There you have a single port you can define.

11

Might be a limitation of the UI itself, as it is a dedicated program and daemon. It works very well on Buster, but is broken on Bullseye and Bookworm indeed.

However, not a big issue to assign an explicit single port. We do it the same way on all other Torrent options, even that those all can be a port range assigned as well (where is also works as expected).

@asiaclonk
That the random port setting solves it as well makes sense, since the port (range) is then not respected at all. This is the reason why it works with Debian default settings, where random port is used, while the same port range 6881-6891 is given in the config as well.
