Deluge is already in the database, but a private entry. It will remain private if it doesn't get enough votes.
TPFC link for those of you wondering - http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=2537

Because of uTorrent's latest controversy, people might be interested in Deluge.
is it stealth? ;)

Has someone tested Deluge Portable?
- Sourceforge page: http://sourceforge.net/projects/delugeportable/
- direct downloadf version 1.3.11: http://sourceforge.net/projects/delugep ... e/download

Is it stealth?

@rbon
Unfortunately it is not portable at all- it writes to 'C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\deluge'.

I tested the portable version of Deluge from ThumbApps:
http://www.thumbapps.blogspot.com/2015/ ... table.html
http://sourceforge.net/projects/thumbap ... et/Deluge/
and it seems really portable. Please check it to confirm if you have time.

Strange behaviour- when started Deluge creates a folder 'deluge' in C:\Users\XXX\AppData\Roaming\deluge, but after exit this folder is automatically deleted.

I'm reluctant to test things from thumbapps for reasons noted here.

As I understand it, that's normal with the PAF system.

Deluge is still in the database and its entry is still private.

Being registered is indeed enough.

To "check private programs", you can use the detailed search page and set Results type to Private only or All entries (public + private). If you want to see all private entries, just leave the Search terms field empty.

Here is a list of programs you have voted: http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.p ... Bgiulia%5D. All those programs have received three points from you.

Note that Deluge still has only eight points (five from TP109 and three from you). It would need ten points to become public.

There is a way to make Deluge store everything in its own folder, but it doesn't make it truly portable,
because you have to use absolute paths. (Didn't test it using relative paths, though)
(i will use C:\PortableApps\Deluge\ here as an example,
you will have to fix the path accordingly to your setup)

As stated in this thread http://forum.deluge-torrent.org/viewtop ... =7&t=43397
you have to manually set the path to default to the Deluge program dir.

You will need to download this file: http://git.deluge-torrent.org/deluge/pl ... 1.3-stable
Then find:

Code: Select all

appDataPath = os.environ.get("APPDATA")
and replace with:

Code: Select all

appDataPath = "C:\PortableApps\Deluge\config"
Save and Copy common.py into C:\PortableApps\Deluge\deluge-1.3.12-py2.6.egg\deluge
So now the default config path will now be:
C:\PortableApps\Deluge\config\deluge

To fix the Python-Eggs folder being created in appdata,
go to C:\PortableApps\Deluge\config\, create a folder "Python-Eggs"
and put this line in the common.py file, after the "import.." lines at the top:

Code: Select all

os.environ['PYTHON_EGG_CACHE'] = "C:\PortableApps\Deluge\config\Python-Eggs"
If you also want to change the language, you have to create a deluge.bat where deluge.exe is, and type in

Code: Select all

set lang=en
start deluge.exe

I haven't tested it, but if you're launching Deluge with a batch file, you might be able to change that location with a local variable.

So, assuming your batch is inside Deluge's folder and there's a 'config' sub-folder, you could have this in your batch:
For this to work, you need to leave the original key value intact:
  • Code: Select all

    appDataPath = os.environ.get("APPDATA")
In case it doesn't work, you could try changing both "APPDATA" strings above to "DATA" only; the same reasoning could be applied to the 'PYTHON_EGG_CACHE' variable.
