problem with tormenting and deluge

Fri May 06, 2016 4:44 pm

Hello,

I have used this guide, installed a NAS and a torrent on my Pi 3. All fine, but when downloading torrents I get an error. I feel like it could be because a permissions issue....

Any ideas on how to fix?

Thanks

If trying to do it from Windows, You need to change permissions from "read only" (take ownership).

If trying to do it from within the Pi:
Next time right click the folder you are trying to add content to, and files you are trying to delete on pi, and see the permissions...if it is 'root', then you need to change permissions
to make it read/write.

from read only to read/writable dir:

Code: Select all

sudo chmod 777
change file owner to pi:

Code: Select all

sudo chown pi:pi /
you can also use this to give yourself temp root user permissions:

Code: Select all

Well, the error I get is from the deluge client. not the pi, it just says error when downloading any torrent (i have tried multiple)

thanks

Perhaps the dir you are trying to save the torrent to is read only? You might want to provide more info (it is hard to read your mind ;) ) Provide the received error...?

I am not sure how to look for it or change that. I only got the pi a week ago.

Can you show me how?

Thanks
