Resume your torrent permanently after a Deluge error
Sometimes Deluge gives an error and stops downloading a torrent that has no problem at all, even a torrent supported by a lot of seeders!
If you select “Resume” the torrent works again for a while, until Deluge gives again this error and stops downloading!
This is not happening often but when it does, it can drive one mad! I searched the internet for a solution, but I found none, and I started some experiments to discover a way of avoiding these ‘errors’, to resume my torrent permanently. Here follow the results of my experiments.
Deluge may give such errors when for some reason it faces a problem in saving the files of a torrent to the default location. Therefore, right click on your stopped torrent and select the resume option, then right click again and select the option Move Storage. Choose some new location to save the files of your torrent.
Most probably you are not going to face problems now! At least this is what happened in my case. After I made this change Deluge managed to download a 6 GB torrent without stopping and resuming even once!
However, tired of the problems with Deluge, I changed my client, now using BitTorrent.

In case you are familiar with the Deluge Console scripting, here is a different solution that a visitor of TheFreeWindows suggests. I have not tried it, but if the one I suggest in the previous page won’t work for you, just go on and try the other.
A note by Bentham
I was facing the same annoying errors. However I’ve got it working with deluge-console:
#!/bin/bash
while true;
do
x=`deluge-console "info Torrent-ID" |grep -i State | awk '{ print $2 }'`
if [ $x == "Error" ];
then
echo -n "Error! ";date
echo -n "Resuming ";date
deluge-console "resume Torrent-ID";
fi
echo -n "Ok ";date
sleep 10
done
You can get the Torrent-ID by issuing the following command:
deluge-console info Name: XXXXXX ID: Torrent-ID State: Error Size: 641.8 MiB/30.5 GiB Ratio: 8.833 Progress: 15.31% [#########~~~~~~~~~~~~~]
This solved my problem!
