Deluge 1.2.2

Rated 50/50 by egg83 at Apr 1, 2008

I agree. Have used utorrent, Azureus, Bitcomet, and the like, and have found this one the best bittorrent client. The download speeds are higher than what I got from Azureus and utorrent, does not hog a great deal of ram, is pretty responsive, and has easy to use interface with not much of a learning curve. Very nice.

Great torrent program.

This will soon become the best open-source Bittorrent client out there, as far as I'm concerned. It's efficient, it's cross-platform, it's feature-rich, and it supports plugins! Finally! My problems with its current state are: 1. It crashes. It crashes for lots and lots of people with otherwise-healthy machines. And it does this a lot; several times a day. 2. It doesn't support super (initial) seeding. I know this is a controversial topic in the BT scene, but I rely upon it because my upstream bandwidth is very limited and it greatly decreases the time required to get a second seeder with the complete file. When it gets closer to version 1.0, I'll have no problem whatsoever recommending it for any platform, and I'll finally have a viable open-source alternative to the feature-rich uTorrent under Windows.

This is definitely a program to keep an eye on. I hope this becomes the new uTorrent/Azureus.

This proggie is great. Stable (1 day so far,lol) Resource friendly (utorrent does a little better) It's not perfect yet though. Things I would like to see; selecting multiple torrents by dragging popup when torrents are completed a stop button columns; an option to remove the numbers ad trackers used ad date ad download location

Oh pleeeze... a "Utorrent copycat" - what kind of nonse talk is that? Are you calling all other torrent clients copycats too? Or why did you pick on Deluge? Works very well for me, no complaint's at all. For filtering IP's, I manually download PeerGuardian lists, merge them into ipfilter.txt and configure the following URL in Deluge - file:///ipfilter.txt

Gui is mind numbingly slow on my pc. As if it were submerged. In order to use a blocklist one must specify a url. Can't seem to use the one which ipfilter updater uses. Wants to update blocklist at every start-probably because I still don't have one. Hangs. Unresponsive. Doesn't close proper. Utorrent copycat which can't even import a blocklist-JUNK It's crossplatform compatibility is nonsense-(as if I will be running multiple os's all running this crap at the same time) Utorrent doesn't even need to be installed to work and it's around 1MB!, doesn't need a blocklist plugin (it will simply use the one which is in same folder without prompting!)

It is very slow and it is has a lot of bugs...

Not fully featured as uTorrent, but the only bittorrent client Iv'e tried that beat it for downloads speed. Quite stable, actively developed. Very good.

Works efficiently under Linux. Straightforward to use, with an uncluttered, clean interface.

I gave this a try a little bit ago when looking to update from my 1.6 utorrent but I found this to be lacking in too many basic features. Not ready for prime time imo and the speeds need improvement. This client isn't Windows native and is making the move over and it shows. The GUI is a little bit on the chuncky side and it is a touch buggy but nothing really to complain about. Again for me its the lack of some basic features that make utorrent a pleasure to work with. I'll keep my eye on this though and see how it matures For more info you can have a look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_client

A straight forward torrent program that is similar to uTorrent, but has many different features. The filesize of course is a lot bigger than uT, but who cares? The only problem I have had is when I try to delete torrents from the program they never delete. If I restart the program they are gone though. I hope to see many more updates for this program.

This program started out as a promising looking open-source torrent client. The developers make their distaste for Windows clear on their own website and each release of the Windows port has been buggier and more unstable than the previous. The most recent release 1.0.0 RC8 doesn't work at all in Windows and I wonder if it's even intended to. I'm reluctant to criticise developers who give their time and effort for free, and I'm sure than that Deluge is an excellent piece of Linux software. But if it's not possible to produce a Windows version of this client that works then please don't produce a Windows version at all, otherwise everyone's time and effort is wasted.

Sadly I have to concur with "been" on this...on the Linux platform this product is excellent and some Windows versions have been good but others have been horribly buggy and recent versions simply don't work at all. It makes no sense at all to release broken product and merely wastes the time of, and annoys, users. As a Linux only product I would give 4 to 5 stars but here the Windows product is under review hence the minimum 1 star rating.

The info provided says lightweight and 26 KB but the download comes in as a heavyweight at 26 MB. I do not need a supersize program for torrent downloads. Sorry.

I'm now running release 1.1.5 and this application has improved massively since my previous post - stable, feature rich and a very clean interface. It's now my default torrent client.

A complete clunkfest, complete with "GTK+" dependencies. It's slow, it's ugly, and it will remove any preexisting .torrent association you have on your system when it's removed (because, you know, the installer is too stupid to know if it CHANGED it or if it ADDED it). I can see no reason whatsoever for a Windows-only user to use this over uTorrent or Vuze. Regarding the DHT paranoia mentioned above: You can unblock JUST router.bittorrent.com, or you can bootstrap DHT from peers you connect with normally. uTorrent does not rely on connections to BitTorrent, Inc. for DHT to work. If you're so paranoid about the MPAA and DHT, you'd better stop using DHT completely, since all they have to do is establish one DHT node, and they have your IP address and the hash of the torrent(s) you have active. It has nothing to do with BitTorrent, Inc's server.

uTorrent (when I last used it) forced me to open my ip-blocker to BitTorrent inc in order to access the DHT. Given that there's no obvious need for this - and BitTorrent's links with the movie industry - that was good enough reason for me to use a different torrent client

Completely agree emanresU deriseD, this is absolute rubbish (at least on windows). Extremely slow and cumbersome with hideous looking GUI.

Rated 50/50 by nika27 at Nov 26, 2009

Extremely slow o.0 ? Rubbish ? (/facepalm) Rubbish is created by throwing away a wrapper off your hamburger. Software is hard work! Runs just fine on my old celeceron with 256Mb RAM. And have no comaplaint about GUI either.
