Hi Eddy, 'deluge-torrent' has been renamed in debian as 'deluge' and updated to the latest available upstream version 1.1.x which is a complete rewrite of the old 0.5.x release. I'm going down the list of old bugs related to deluge-torrent checking if they are actually reproducible in the new version. This should not be the case for the bug you reported, but would you please test the new package in unstable and confirm? Thanks, -- Cristian Greco GPG key ID: 0x0C095825
