Download Deluge Portable 0.5.8.7 Development Test 2 [8.7MB download / 17.1+MB installed]
(MD5: e42b6185e072065985c805ad80cbab77)

Release Notes:

Development Test 1 (2008-04-13):

  • Updated to Deluge 0.5.8.7

Development Test 1 (2008-03-04): Initial release

Note: Deluge uses PyGTK, which is GTK with a Python wrapper, so I don't believe there's anyway to use it in a common files setup, but that's being dropped anyways.

Hm.

I'm not experiencing any issues with it, works fine for me.

Great job though. Smiling

Yay!

I've been waiting for this one for a long time. Excellent job, Patrick. Smiling

this maybe

for the app its self but i have never used this one. when I click on the add url nothing happens. This was the way I on utorrent I added new links to download. Hopefully this just some over sight on my part and someone can point me in the right direction. I did look around the forums on the app site but found very little there.
thanks Bob

edit: after restarting the program it worked fine

cool

works great no problems except i don't know what i'll be able to download with a filled up 2 gig stick Laughing out loud

Error...

First time ive ever used deluge and ive already found a bug. I have a single port forwarded for torrents, set on uTorrent. If uTorrent is still open with the same port as deluge, then you start deluge, the program simply crashes with the following error
http://i30.tinypic.com/tz2mw.png
and dbus-daemon-deluge.exe is still running in the task manager after it crashes in this way.

Other than that, seems good.

That's not a bug in the

That's not a bug in the portable version or of Deluge itself. You can't have two programs trying to use the same port at the same time.

By bug, i meant for example

By bug, i meant for example coding it so that it checks that the port is available, and if it isnt then it returns an error with the problem, then completely terminates the programs, rather than returning a general C++ error and not terminating the daemon.

And that would be an issue

And that would be an issue with Deluge itself as I stated above. Post you suggestion on the Deluge website.

Hey

Hey man, good to see that you have released the BETA.

Btw, do you have any update on the theme issue.

Btw II, this beta is being put up on the Deluge-Torrent.org for testers. ;]

It Should Be Fixed

The Deluge developers changed the default Windows theme to Clearlooks, and it seems to work fine now.

um. it still doesnt work for

um.

it still doesnt work for me?

Oh! LOL! I still opened the old version!! (0.5.8.0)

-Andrew aka HandyAndy164

Hey

Hey
0.5.8.7 is out now and it apparently fixes the bug where the torrents ratio weren't kept
so please maybe an update Eye-wink

thanks for the great work

Yep

Thanks, I know. I'll try yo get one out later this week.

Update

Deluge had been updated to 0.5.8.7

I get this message

I get this message error:
"The installer you are trying to use is corrupted or incomplete.........."

*sigh*

Thanks for testing. I'll re-upload.

Fixed, thanks

Thanks working great now

Thanks
working great now

deluge folder created

A folder named deluge is created in the "[username]\application data" folder.

Hmm

Sounds like a bug on there end. I'll look into that, thanks.

lol

a bug on their end? lol, i would think that would be a bug on your end for not redirecting it or cleaning it up at the end in your script

No

I don't think I should have to clean it up. The Deluge on Windows dev added a switch to re-direct the profile, which works. Apparently it still creates that folder nonetheless which is shouldn't. It's no problem at all to check if empty and remove, but it's still something on there end.

However, didn't KompoZer do the same thing?

Directory Created in Vista

I just noticed that Deluge Portable 0.5.8.7 Development Test 2 creates a directory in Windows Vista. The directory is at C:\Users\UserName\deluge. This might be because of a default setting within Deluge, but even if this is the case, I think the default setting needs to be changed because few will look at the settings.

Muah ha ha

Do read. I forgot to fix it. I'll try and do that this week.

0.5.8.9 is out

0.5.8.9 is out Eye-wink

no worries thought, loving this app

Thanks

I'll try to update this weekend.

0.5.9.1 is out. How long does

0.5.9.1 is out. How long does your weekend last? Lol!

~ Andrew

-Andrew aka HandyAndy164

Heh

I got a fix from markybob for the directory being created too. I still need to check how Deluge handles the language so I can set it to automaticially change with the next Platform release. I'll look into it soon.

Dang.

It won't run on Windows 98.

Of course, it's not supported.

But it would still be nice.

[removed double post - moderator PP]

Sorry

Windows 98 support is being dropped by a lot of program, Firefox included I believe.

problem

When I want to open an URL in the menu, nothing happens.
No little box to paste the URL.
I've tried to delete and install again the app but to no avail.
Any idea ?

hey I just found a registry

Is this any good though? I

Is this any good though? I downloaded and installed an older version a while back thinking that maybe I could replace uTorrent with it but it was buggy, not even close to user friendly and just downright clunky. It couldn't hold a candle to uTorrent. Anyone have comments on 1.0?

Really nice interview i have

Really nice interview i have found here. You should put more so i can write about them in my BitTorrent blog

Portable vs. Installed

When I run the installed version of deluge, it simultaneously runs a Python process that uses 29,000 k of memory. I don't see this process with the portable version. Also this package seems to be much smaller than the installed version - 17 MB vs. 29 MB installed. How is this all possible?

I Dunno... Magic?

The binaries are compressed with UPX, but this is an older release of Deluge, so I'll have to update soon and check things out.

Update?

Any chance for that update? Deluge is 1.1.16 now.

Live to learn. Learn to live. - JWSII

Ha Ha!

Yeah, I guess UPX compression would account for the files sizes.
How about the RAM usage? Why does my locally installed Deluge need to have Python running and consuming 29,000 K?
Maybe your portable package is "magic"

Dead?

is this project dead now Patrick?

version 1.0.7 released before..

-Andrew aka HandyAndy164

Download Broken

The download link is not working. Is there still somewhere to get this app? Thanks!

Is there an alternative

Is there an alternative portable torrent downloader you could recommend>

Halite:
http://www.binarynotions.com/halite-bittorrent-client

Although i'm still using this version of Deluge with no problems but wished someone would take over this and updated it cause for me its the best one out there since utorrent was purchased by bittorrent.com and became closed source.

By the way..

uTorrent was always closed-source.

yeah, my mistake... my point

yeah, my mistake...
my point was it became owned by a company associated with mpaa and other anti-piracy associations...

Halite is very good. I

Halite is very good. I haven't used it for a while, but it was definitely looking promising a few months back. Deluge is horrible IMO. I've never had any luck getting it to run the way I wanted it to.

My Ten Cents

I prefer deluge to halite, but honestly, I'd enjoy ANY portable torrent app at this time. Any word on a deluge update or is there another client being used now instead?

Put all violators of the Constitution in jail.

Updates

I would consider updating this, as I need to update the internet version, and fix some download paths as well, however Deluge just isn't getting any better on Windows.

I'd suggest trying out Frostwire, which requires portable Java. There's a beta in the forums if you take a search, it should describe how to use Java with it as well.

Download

Antoher website of portableapps has Deluge Portable (compressed in .zip, not in a installer, but the app is Patrick's app.

Download

Deluge *client* portable please!

Don't need no Deluge portable daemon, just the portable *client* please! That should make it easier.

Deluge

This client has gotten better and better. I'd love a Portable Deluge! Any chance of an update?

Put all violators of the Constitution in jail.

I 2nd this request
Someone to takeover the development on this one please

Can anyone re-alive development, pls

Status on BitTorrent

If John gives me an update on what we're doing about BitTorrent there's a minor possibility I could try my hand at updating this. Minor, but if I get that Windows machine fired up... maybe.

there was another torrent

there was another torrent client released Smiling Glad to see your haunting again a little bit.
