Deluge BitTorrent Client 2.0.3 has been released and it is the first update in 2 years. Install Deluge BitTorrent Client on Linux Ubuntu. Deluge BitTorrent Client 2.0.3 comes with a new application logo and support for multiple-users and support for libtorrent 1.2 with an improved handling of torrents.
Deluge BitTorrent Client
Deluge contains the common features to BitTorrent clients such as Protocol Encryption, DHT, Local Peer Discovery (LSD), Peer Exchange (PEX), UPnP, NAT-PMP, Proxy support, Web seeds, global and per-torrent speed limits. As Deluge heavily utilises the libtorrent library it has a comprehensive list of the features provided.
Deluge has been designed to run as both a normal standalone desktop application and as a client-server. In Thinclient mode a Deluge daemon handles all the BitTorrent activity and is able to run on headless machines with the user-interfaces connecting remotely from any other platform.

2.0.0 (2019-06-06)
Codebase
- Ported to Python 3
Core
- Improved Logging
- Removed the AutoAdd feature on the core. It’s now handled with the AutoAdd plugin, which is also shipped with Deluge, and it does a better job and now, it even supports multiple users perfectly.
- Authentication/Permission exceptions are now sent to clients and recreated there to allow acting upon them.
- Updated SSL/TLS Protocol parameters for better security.
- Make the distinction between adding to the session new unmanaged torrents and torrents loaded from state. This will break backwards compatability.
- Pass a copy of an event instead of passing the event arguments to the event handlers. This will break backwards compatability.
- Allow changing ownership of torrents.
- File modifications on the auth file are now detected and when they happen, the file is reloaded. Upon finding an old auth file with an old format, an upgrade to the new format is made, file saved, and reloaded.
- Authentication no longer requires a username/password. If one or both of these is missing, an authentication error will be sent to the client which sould then ask the username/password to the user.
- Implemented sequential downloads.
- Provide information about a torrent’s pieces states
- Add Option To Specify Outgoing Connection Interface.
- Fix potential for host_id collision when creating hostlist entries.
Gtk UI
- Ported to GTK3 (3rd-party plugins will need updated).
- Allow changing ownership of torrents.
- Host entries in the Connection Manager UI are now editable.
- Implemented sequential downloads UI handling.
- Add optional pieces bar instead of a regular progress bar in torrent status tab.
- Make torrent opening compatible with all unicode paths.
- Fix magnet association button on Windows.
- Add keyboard shortcuts for changing queue position:
- Up: Ctrl+Alt+Up
- Down: Ctrl+Alt+Down
- Top: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Up
- Bottom: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Down
Web UI
- Server (deluge-web) now daemonizes by default, use ‘-d’ or ‘–do-not-daemonize’ to disable.
- Fixed the ‘–base’ option to work for regular use, not just with reverse proxies.
Blocklist Plugin
- Implemented whitelist support to both core and GTK UI.
- Implemented ip filter cleaning before each update. Restarting the deluge daemon is no longer needed.
- If “check_after_days” is 0(zero), the timer is not started anymore. It would keep updating one call after the other. If the value changed, the timer is now stopped and restarted using the new value.
