Deluge is a Learn BitTorrent client.

Building

I largely follow the instructions from Setup tutorial for Deluge development with small changes.

First you may need to install:

sudo apt install intltool closure-compiler

In my case there were already in my system, probably installed with other deps.

My changes come from the fact that I have installed libtorrent from sources. See in libtorrent-rasterbar for the instructions on how to build libtorrent from sources. Then in libtorrent Python bindings I describe a follow up on how to create the Python bindings for libtorrent. There I create a python environment but I leave the location of the Python virtual environment somehow open. Now to follow the instructions here, please make sure that the .venv folder is at the top-level of your deluge directory. In principle, this directory can be put anywhere - and most probably it is better to put it outside of the deluge repo: here I follow the practice as given in the above mentioned Setup tutorial for Deluge development.

Install required dependencies:

sudo apt install python3-geoip python3-dbus  python3-gi python3-gi-cairo gir1.2-gtk-3.0 gir1.2-ayatanaappindicator3-0.1 python3-pygame libnotify4 librsvg2-common xdg-utils

Here, because we have built libtorrent-rasterbar from source, make sure you omit python3-libtorrent from the original instructions.

Then run:

$ source .venv/bin/activate
(deluge) $ uv pip install -e .

 + service-identity==24.2.0
 + twisted==24.10.0
 + typing-extensions==4.12.2
 + zope-interface==7.1.1

Finally in .venv/pyvenv.cfg set:

include-system-site-packages = true

Check if it runs:

deluge-gtk

And this is how it looks like:

Preferences

Optionally, you may prefer to leave include-system-site-packages set to false. Following this instructions:

$ sudo apt install libgirepository1.0-dev gcc libcairo2-dev pkg-config python3-dev gir1.2-gtk-4.0
$ uv pip install pycairo
$ uv pip install PyGObject

We should then be able to uninstall:

$ sudo apt remove python3-gi python3-gi-cairo gir1.2-gtk-4.0

Transmission does support version 2 torrent files but not version 2 magnet links (hybrid magnets are supported).

Other notes

At https://deluge-torrent.org/about/ we can read that Deluge is able to run on headless machines with the user-interfaces being able to connect remotely from any platform.

From @Giuliano Mega:

I'm also finding that the python bindings are incomplete and expose only a subset of the API btw one way to approach the integration would be by going top down on how Deluge uses libtorrent and then looking at the minimum needed to get it running. The Deluge core is actually a lot simpler than I expected I think this may be less effort than trying to build the entire API from scratch on top of Codex e.g. if we can get enough to run the Deluge daemon on top of Codex, then all the rest (GTK UI, Web UI) sort of works… Other links:
