deluge-automanage

A cli to automate Deluge. Currently very minimal.

Install

Download the latest binary and put somewhere in $PATH.

Extract binary

tar -xzvf deluge-automanage_$VERSION_linux_amd64.tar.gz

Move to somewhere in $PATH. Need sudo if not already root. Or put it in your user $HOME/bin or similar.

sudo mv deluge-automanage /usr/bin/

Verify that it runs

deluge-automanage help

This should print Could not read config file.

Configuration

Create a new configuration file .deluge-automanage.toml in $HOME/.config/deluge-automanage/.

mkdir -p ~/.config/deluge-automanage && touch ~/.config/deluge-automanage/.deluge-automanage.toml

A bare minimum config.

[deluge]
host     = "localhost"  # deluge daemon hostname/ip
port     = 30000        # deluge daemon port
login    = "my-user"    # deluge daemon user
password = "my-pass"    # deluge daemon password
version  = "v2"         # deluge version (v1 or v2)
 
[rules]
enabled              = true   # enable or disable rules
max_active_downloads = 1      # set max active downloads

⚠️ NOTICE: Be sure to set the correct Deluge version!

• If running on HDDs and 1Gbit - max_active_downloads = 2 is a good setting to not overload the disks and gives as much bandwidth as possible to the torrents.
• For SSDs and 1Gbit+ you can increase this value.

rutorrent-autodl-irssi setup

In rutrorrent, go to autodl-irssi Preferences, and then the Action tab. Put in the following for the global action. This can be set in a specific filter as well.

Choose .torrent action: Run Program
Command: /usr/bin/deluge-automanage
Arguments: add "$(TorrentPathName)"

If you want to grab as many new torrents as possible you can change your filters to grab every torrent that matches and then max_active_downloads will decide if it gets added or not, depending on how many active downloads there currently are.

If there are some filters that you want to be 100% sure gets downloaded, then either use the old deluge-console/watch action for those, or do the inverse and use the global action as deluge-console and specific filters with deluge-automanage.

Or edit via autodl.cfg instead:

[filter example_filter_action]
upload-command = /usr/bin/deluge-automanage
upload-args = add "$(TorrentPathName)"
