deluge-console [options] [command]

deluge-console is the text-based console interface for the Deluge BitTorrent client. It provides a curses-based interactive mode and supports command execution for scripting.
In interactive mode, it presents a 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.
The console connects to the Deluge daemon (deluged) either locally or remotely, providing the same functionality as the GTK client through a terminal interface.

Requires deluged daemon running. Interactive mode needs terminal with curses support. Remote connections require proper authentication. Command syntax differs from GTK interface.

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.
