install deluge:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deluge-team/ppa

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install deluged deluge-web deluge-console

It is best to run Deluge upstart scripts with a specific user and group. You can create one using the following command:

sudo adduser --system --group --home /var/lib/deluge deluge

This creates a new system user and group named deluge with no login access and home directory: /var/lib/deluge

Add any users you wish to be able to easily manage or access files downloaded through Deluge to the group deluge will run as, for example:

sudo adduser username deluge

deluge settings:

sudo nano /etc/init/deluged.conf

(example deluged.conf given below.)

sudo chmod 755 /etc/init/deluged.conf

sudo chown root:root /etc/init/deluged.conf
