deluged [options]

deluged is the daemon component of the Deluge BitTorrent client. It handles all BitTorrent protocol operations and runs in the background, allowing clients to connect for management.
The daemon architecture allows Deluge to run on headless servers with clients connecting remotely. Multiple clients (GTK, web, console) can connect to the same daemon simultaneously. Downloads continue even when clients disconnect.
deluged listens on a configurable port for client connections and handles authentication, ensuring secure access to the torrent management functions.

deluged is the core component of the Deluge BitTorrent client, developed since 2006. The daemon/client separation was a key design decision enabling flexible deployment scenarios from desktop use to dedicated seedboxes.
