I'm trying this on archlinux. I installed deluge and python2-identity-service. After having run the iptables commands in the archwiki entry for deluge to open ports I ran deluge -s console. Then I ran deluge and was told I couldn't connect to localhost since the username didn't exist. I had also added the user to the deluge group earlier too. The network is wifi and going out over dns to comcast.net.
Deluge will also not allow me to configure. I have deluge using the deluge user unprivileged which got recommended since it's the most secure way to run deluge. I hope this helps.
The router I have is a router modem combination.
If I?m reading the man page correctly, ?deluge -s console? means to run deluge with userid ?console?. Is that what you want to do? If so, do you have a userid ?console? in /etc/passwd ? Is the ?console? userid in the usual set of groups in /etc/group?
I use deluge on Debian. In my system I run ?deluge-web -f? as myself to start the daemon, then I attach to the running daemon with ?firefox http://localhost:8112?. Can you do that on arch?
Here?s a thought: Do you really need/want bittorrent at all? If all you want is a copy of the Debian 9.4 install iso, you can download it directly from one of the Debian mirror sites ? no need for deluge at all.
