Hello,
any plans to implement deluge in OSMC? Need to decide whether to take a limited time offer for fixed line internet and that would be the main criterium …
cheers and keep up the good work
It’s linux, even if it wasn’t included, deluge, transmission, or any number of torrent clients could be used.
thx everybody!
@sam_nazarko I do not see it in the app store, started using OSMC recently, any pointers on how to install deluge?
You can simple install it using
sudo apt-get install deluge
I suggest to use the WebUI as well:
sudo apt-get install deluge-webDepending on the version available in the repository, you can always compile it yourself, it takes just a few minutes:
sudo apt-get install python python-twisted python-twisted-web python-openssl \
python-simplejson python-setuptools intltool python-xdg python-chardet \
geoip-database python-libtorrent python-notify python-pygame python-glade2 \
librsvg2-common xdg-utils python-mako bzip2 -y
cd ~/
mkdir deluge
cd deluge
wget http://download.deluge-torrent.org/source/deluge-1.3.11.tar.bz2
tar xvf deluge-1.3.11.tar.bz2
cd deluge-1.3.11
python setup.py clean -a #may look like error message, is not, nothing to worry$
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install
sudo python setup.py install_data
cd ~/
sudo rm -rf deluge/
after it finishes, start deluge with
deluged
give it a few seconds, stop it:
sudo pkill deluged
the above is needed to generate the initial config file, which we will modify to grant access to the osmc user:
cp ~/.config/deluge/auth ~/.config/deluge/auth.old
nano ~/.config/deluge/auth
add the line:
osmc:osmc:10
at the end of the file and save with ctrl+x
to allow remote access, run also these commands:
deluged
deluge-console
config -s allow_remote True
config allow_remote
exit
with deluge already runing, to start the web interface in the background run:
deluge-web --fork
at any point you can kill all with
sudo pkill deluge
The instructions above were 99% inspired from the onepitwopi.com website, I only added bzip2 in the initial install, bumped the version to 1.3.11 and changed the user from pi to osmc.
I hope it helps.

Great HowTo, just one point:
cp ~/.config/deluge/auth ~/.config/deluge/auth.old
nano ~/.config/deluge/auth</code>
The </code> at the end of the second line is wrong.
Thanks, forgot to remove that one when switching to idents.

Thanks for a great guide.
I have a simple follow-up question.
How do i get “deluged” and “deluged-web --fork”
to autostart on my RPi2/OSMC bootup?
You should be able to use the Ubuntu Initd script: UserGuide/Service/DebianUbuntuInitd – Deluge
The setting up of this script is also covered here: http://www.howtogeek.com/142044/how-to-turn-a-raspberry-pi-into-an-always-on-bittorrent-box/
I’ve tested it once, but didnt had any success (but didnt looked for possible error and gave up instead).
I’m using cron to auto-start the daemon. I’m not using the web-gui.
osmc@osmc:~$ crontab -e
@reboot /usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/deluged
Supposedly a blank line at the end of crontab is important.
does not start, is this valid anymore?
Doesnt start up man is this valid?
deluge-web --fork
man how do i get the web gui to autostart because it doesn’t start on its own.
deluged
deluge-console
config -s allow_remote True
config allow_remote
exit
also the above command gives key invalid on allow_remote
Have you tried putting a line like this in your crontab?
@reboot /usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/deluge-web --fork
Like I said, I prefer to access deluge with the gui on my laptop versus a webpage, so I’ve not tried it.
Thanks will give it a try 
the web ui uses deluge - so you may want
@reboot /usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/deluge-web --fork
in your crontab instead (--fork is what exits the process so other things can happen)
you can start the daemon from the webservice manually, but I’ve included both deluge-web and deluged (in that order) to start on reboot in my pi’s config
I also use ps aux | grep '[d]eluge' to check if both the web ui and the daemon are running.
Hello,
How do i autostart deluged on startup?
I use noth this lines on crontab, one for web and another for desktop version and none of it work
@reboot /usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/deluged
@reboot /usr/bin/python /usr/local/bin/deluge-web --fork
Thanks
