' Re: Installing Deluge torrent - how?

[costi]

Hi!

I'm moving to openelec from XBMC Live and I'd like to use Deluge as my torrent client. Can someone guide me how to do it?
I'm quite the noob in Linux (I can manage the simpler stuff, but building from source is complicated for me). I am managing it via web browser and I want to keep it this way.

As to why Deluge and not Transmission (which is, as I understand, available by default in openelec) - I find the WebUI better and more organized, plus I like some features of Deluge that are not present in Transmission (mostly the ability to move completed downloads to predefined folders by using labels).

Thanks in advance for any help!

The dev team is happy to assist addon creators with adapting things to work on OE but they're not too interested in doing all the hard work themselves and they very (very) rarely accept addon requests; the whole point of addons is that users do the work! The existing transmission addon should be a good guide for how to create one for Deluge, although if you're a self-confessed Linux n00b you're probably not the right person for the job as it requires a solid understanding of how to build (not just install) software on Linux.

Is there a guide/documentation for creating addons available somewhere? I used to do some programming, so I might give it a shot, but it would be easier withut having to discover everything myself

From what a friend told me who compile it for NAS it's not an easy task.
