Deluge 0.4 has been released. I could go into detail about it, but I've already done so at the Deluge development blog (http://deluge-torrent.org). A direct link to the release announcement is here: http://www.deluge-torrent.org/index.php/2006/11/28/deluge-04-released/

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Fix this please.

couple of issues
- popup saying no incoming connections and advicing me to forward ports. ports ARE forwarded and working properly, the grc check port thing says open, and also the same ports work with azureus
- after using deluge, closing deluge, waiting a few mins and then starting azureus (which is configured to use the same ports) aureus says the ports or socket (dont recall exactly) are already in use. it seems like deluge isnt sort of letting those ports go when its finished with them

Last time I looked, the popup said you MAY need to forward ports ;) I guess in your case you don't. Anyhow, you can just disable the "Network Health Plugin", if the popup bothers you. Basically all it does is check whether you have incoming connections, it doesn't test the ports directly.

As for issue #2, Deluge closes and then in the background does some cleanup before it releases the ports (it notifies the trackers, and waits for a response). So what you experience may be just that. If so, it should resolve in a few minutes. If not, then there may be a bug I am not aware of.

the cvs head of libtorrent has a, to some extent, rewritten quota managment. So, if upload and download limits has been used, it is supposed to work better now. I have some reports suggesting it may have resulted in slightly faster downloads.

It also has support for uTorrent's peer exchange extension, which may give faster download speeds as well.

ok, we'll look into it.

I assume this is planned on being in 0.12? Also, what's the status on encryption in libtorrent, is it planned to include it at some point?

it will probably be included at some point. But not in 0.12.

Yay! 0.4.0 already running in Gentoo :)

Thanks!

Btw: The network graph only works with depth >= 24. If you're using <24 it doesn't work and it outputs a error message. Is that the expected behaviour?

you'll want to install deluge-plugins as well to get full functionality

I didn't know that, thanks for the notice. At least since its a plugin, people with lower screen depths can leave it disabled for now

Well, a couple features from 0.3 were turned into plugins, specifically the searchbar and netgraph. plus, there are a few more plugins we've added. You can try and see if the package has been backported, or backport it yourself using prevu

Thank you for continuing to work on this project. This project is more important than it looks at first glance. Right now, there is no feature complete GTK bittorrent client, and that is serious detriment to the GNOME desktop.

Ktorrent is nice, but when you have to load up all of those QT libraries along with GNOME, things start to get bloated. Also, Ktorrent matches Azureus MB for MB when you hit around 20 torrents.

If a focus on keeping Deluge lightweight is kept, and the most obvious issues (not being able to associate .torrents with deluge) are fixed, Deluge will gain quite a bit of foothold in the desktop Linux world.

zip. nada. nothing.

0.3.99.2 was release candidate 2, which became 0.4 final. Only thing that changed in the least was that I removed one menu entry that had no functionality.
