DELUGE(1)

💖 deluge(1) — the BitTorrent client that's literally your bestie 💖

okay so you found the deluge man page in the General Commands Manual (section 1, as one does) and honestly? iconic. sit down, grab a strawberry, we're doing this. 🍓

🌸 NAME 🌸

deluge — a BitTorrent client. that's it, that's the whole vibe. a client. for torrents. slay.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

deluge [options] [torrent-file]

yes bestie, that's the whole shape of it. options, then optionally a torrent file, and off you go. 🦋

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the tea: Deluge runs on a client/server model, periodt. that means deluged is the daemon process doing all the actual heavy lifting in the background, and deluge is the thing you launch to get a user-interface. two besties, one brain. 💅

by default, Deluge runs in Standalone mode, where the daemon functionality is just... hidden. tucked away. not your problem. and if you wanna switch over to Thinclient mode, you do it in the Preferences dialog. that's the move. no cap.

🌈 OPTIONS 🌈

🎀 Config Options

• -c path, --config=path — sets the config directory location. you tell it where your config lives, it listens. 🫶

🦋 UI Options

run deluge -h to see the available user interfaces, fr fr. here's the shape of it:

user_interface [ui-args]

that's the alternative UI to launch, with optional ui args tacked on. 🧚

• -s default_ui, --set-default-ui=default_ui — sets the default UI that gets run when no UI is specified. your main character UI, chosen in advance. 👑

💜 Logging Options

• -l file, --logfile=file — outputs to the specified logfile instead of stdout. receipts? kept. 🧾
• -L loglevel, --loglevel=loglevel — sets the log level. the default is error. your choices are: none, info, warning, error, debug. pick your drama level. 💀
• -q, --quiet — sets the log level to none, same as -L none. silence. blessed silence. 🙈
• --logrotate[=max-size] — enables logfile rotation, with an optional maximum logfile size. the default is 2M. (also: the logfile rotation count is 5.) keep those logs fresh, no mold. ✨
• --profile[=file] — profiles with cProfile. outputs to stdout unless you specify a filename. it's giving "what is this program even doing with its life" energy. 🔥

⭐ Help Options

• -V, --version — shows the program's version number and exits. quick lil flex. 💅
• -h, --help — shows the help message and exits. when in doubt, ask the program. she'll tell you. 🌸
