Firstly, I don't know whether this is exactly the right place to post this, but here it goes.
I have Xubuntu 11.10 installed on a laptop that I use to make my external HDDs available over network via Samba. I setup deluged and the web-ui from the Ubuntu repositories and followed this guide to set it up: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1433783
so that I can control my torrents. Everything is working well, except when I try to add a torrent, it says Permission Denied. I am trying to set downloads to download on my NTFS USB external HDD. It needs to be NTFS formatted because I frequently travel with it and need to be able to use it with Windows computers.
Thanks for the help, sorry if my Googling led me to miss a thread with the solution.
edit: if I had to guess, Deluge uses a user named deluge and that user can't write to NTFS drives
