Re: bittorrent help needed
I’d suggest that you’d be better off using an existing userid, rather than setting up a new “console” userid. I don’t know how the deluge package in Arch is set up, but it may already have a preferred non-root userid. Check /etc/passwd.
And, if you haven’t already done so, read all the manual pages and take a look in /usr/share/doc/deluge* for anything relevant.
