Is that what you want to do? If so, do you have a userid “console” in /etc/passwd ? Is the “console” userid in the usual set of groups in /etc/group? I use deluge on Debian. In my system I run “deluge-web -f” as myself to start the daemon, then I attach to the running daemon with “firefox http://localhost:8112”. Can you do that on arch? Here’s a thought: Do you really need/want bittorrent at all? If all you want is a copy of the Debian 9.4 install iso, you can download it directly from one of the Debian mirror sites — no need for deluge at all. Rick
