Deluge 2.2.0

Deluge is a full-featured BitTorrent client for Linux, OS X, Unix and Windows. It uses libtorrent in it's backend and features multiple user-interfaces including: GTK+, web and console. It has been designed using the client server model with a daemon process that handles all the bittorrent activity. The Deluge daemon is able to run on headless machines with the user-interfaces being able to connect remotely from any platform.

Deluge offers an extensive collection of plugins, with much of its functionality provided through these add-ons. It was designed to be lightweight, minimal, and easy to run in the background.

Deluge has a wide-array of features, including:

  • Core/UI split allowing Deluge to run as a daemon
  • Connect remotely to the Deluge daemon
  • Web UI
  • Console UI
  • GTK+ UI
  • BitTorrent Protocol Encryption
  • Mainline DHT
  • Local Peer Discovery (aka LSD)
  • FAST protocol extension

A note on libtorrent versions:

libtorrent is the engine Deluge uses to handle torrents. Different versions (1.2 vs. 2.0) affect speed, features, and compatibility.

  • Use lt2.0 for newer features and better performance.
  • Use non-lt2.0 for better compatibility with older or private trackers.
