Anyone else having constant trouble with Deluge and brand new torrent releases? (lemm.ee)

Hi guys! It's been a long while, and I still struggle with Deluge catching brand new releases of movies that just about everyone's downloading.

A bit of background, I have 1Gbps connection, and Deluge in headless mode (that's why I chose Deluge, for headless you get either Deluge or Transmission...AFAIK those are the only two supporting it).

So, whenever my -arr servers catch the latest release of the very latest movie or TV show, Deluge catches it, and faceplants it with a download error immediately. I can either "force check" or "resume". Either way (doesn't matter which), it will error again in a second or two. This struggle continues for a while of resume/error/resume, until it finally starts to download a larger chunk...for it to error again a minute or two later, after downloading several hundred MB. And then another section of constant errors. Finally, it will get stuck at the end at 99%, where it really needs a "force check" to find whatever data was corrupted, redownload that, and finish.

Any idea why this happens? Any way to fix/avoid it? I'm not sure deluge is connecting to fake seeders giving it corrupted data and it fails to catch/fix it. Any help would be very welcome. Thanks!

I don’t think think I have considered rTorrent before. But this one doesn’t have a remote GUI client the way deluge and transmission allow their UI to connect to a remote daemon, right?

Correct. You're referring to the thin client, offhand I think it's just Transmission and Deluge that have that. You don't need a thin client for a headless torrent client setup, plenty of people do fine with a web ui. But I get it, if you prefer using a thin client then yeah Deluge or Transmission are your options for that.

re: Deluge once you have logging enabled it'll be easier to troubleshoot things. Always seemed a bit odd that Deluge doesn't at least enable error/warning logging by default but that's a Deluge thing.
