Release BitTorrent client Deluge 2.0

Nine years after the formation of the last significant branch published release of multiplatform BitTorrent client Deluge 2.0, written in Python (using the Twisted framework), based on libtorrent and supporting several types of user interface (GTK+, web interface, console version). BitTorrent runs in client-server mode, where the user shell runs as a separate process, and all BitTorrent operations are controlled by a separate daemon that can be run on a remote computer. Project Code spreads under the GPL license.

Key improvements the new release includes porting the codebase to Python 3 and translating the GTK interface to GTK3. Other changes:

  • Sequential download mode implemented;
  • Added the ability to change the owner of the torrent;
  • The AutoAdd function has been moved from the main application to a better working external plug-in (included in the package);
  • Provided a pass for client-side handling of exceptions related to authentication and requesting extended privileges. If there are no authentication parameters in the settings, the error code is sent to the client, on the side of which the form for entering the login and password is displayed;
  • Separation of new torrents added to the session and torrents downloaded when the session was restored;
  • Updated TLS parameters to achieve higher security;
  • Provided output of information about the status of downloading parts of the torrent;
  • An option has been added to the settings to select a network interface for outgoing traffic;
  • The WebUI server (deluge-web) now runs in the background by default, to disable this behavior, specify the '-d' ('--do-not-daemonize') option;
  • Added support for whitelisting and the ability to clear the IP address filter before updating the lists in the Blocklist plugin.
