Deluge – A light weight cross-platform BitTorrent client.

Deluge is a full featured BitTorrent application written in python 2. Deluge comes with three different Interfaces:

  • Web UI (for browser)
  • Gtk UI (for desktop)
  • Console UI (for command line)

Installing Deluge:

For Ubuntu:

Adding deluge PPA repository:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deluge-team/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install deluge

If it returns “add-apt-repository: command not found” then type:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties

For ArchLinux:

Deluge needs ‘pygtk’ package to run, so you’ll have to install the ‘pygtk’ package first:

sudo pacman -S pygtk

Once the package is installed, you can now install deluge:

sudo pacman -S deluge

You’re all set 🙂
