deluge-console
Text-based console interface for the Deluge BitTorrent client
TLDR
SYNOPSIS
deluge-console [options] [command]
DESCRIPTION
deluge-console is the text-based console interface for the Deluge BitTorrent client. Deluge uses a client/server model, with deluged as the daemon process and deluge-console as the terminal front-end.In interactive mode, it presents a curses-based navigable interface for managing torrents with keyboard shortcuts. In command mode, it accepts commands as arguments for non-interactive operation, useful for scripts and automation. Commands can be passed directly on the command line and chained with semicolons.The console connects to the Deluge daemon either locally or remotely, providing the same functionality as the GTK client through a terminal interface.

INSTALL
CAVEATS
Requires the deluged daemon to be running. Interactive mode needs a terminal with curses support. Remote connections require proper authentication configuration. Command syntax differs from the GTK interface.
HISTORY
deluge-console was developed as part of the Deluge project to provide terminal access to the BitTorrent client. It addresses the need for headless server management and scripted torrent operations.
