DELUGE-CONSOLE(1)

💖 DELUGE-CONSOLE(1) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about deluge-console, a BitTorrent client console interface from the Deluge family, and this page lives in the General Commands Manual section of your friendly neighborhood manual pages. she's the pretty face of the client/server situation. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

deluge-console [options]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the vibe: Deluge runs on a client/server model. deluged is the daemon doing all the actual work in the background (the responsible one, the one with a 401k), and deluge-console is what you run to pop open a curses console user-interface. it's giving terminal-chic. it's giving no-GUI-needed energy. 🔥

🎀 Console Commands 🎀

Not me telling you that you can pass console commands straight from the command line, and you can chain several of them together with a semi-colon (;) as the separator. You may also need to wrap the whole thing in quotes — for example:

deluge-console 'add <torrent>; info <torrent_id>'

and here are ALL the console commands available to you, no skips, no cuts, we list them all because we are thorough and we love you:

• add — Add torrents
• cache — Show information about the disk cache
• config — Show and set configuration values
• connect — Connect to a new deluge server
• debug — Enable and disable debugging
• del — Alias for rm
• exit — Alias for quit
• gui — Enable interactive mode
• halt — Shutdown the deluge server
• help — Displays help on other commands
• info — Show information about the torrents
• manage — Show and manage per-torrent options
• move — Move torrents' storage location
• pause — Pause torrents
• plugin — Manage plugins
• quit — Exit the client
• reannounce — Alias for update_tracker
• recheck — Forces a recheck of the torrent data
• resume — Resume torrents
• rm — Remove a torrent
• status — Shows various status information from the daemon
• update_tracker — Update tracker for torrent(s)
