As of now, no console userid exists in /etc/passwd. I will need to
research how best to set that up after lunch.

I'm trying this on archlinux. I installed deluge and python2-identity-service.
After having run the iptables commands in the archwiki entry for deluge to
open ports I ran deluge -s console. Then I ran deluge and was told I couldn't
connect to localhost since the username didn't exist. I had also added the
user to the deluge group earlier too. The network is wifi and going out over
dns to comcast.net.
Deluge will also not allow me to configure. I have deluge using the deluge
user unprivileged which got recommended since it's the most secure way to run
deluge. I hope this helps.
The router I have is a router modem combination.
If I?m reading the man page correctly, ?deluge -s console? means to run deluge
with userid ?console?. 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.
