i have ubuntu

i just downloaded the package file for deluge 0.5.8.7
and i installed it using the package installer
and when i try to launch it
it starts to launch but crashes and doesnt show the program
or atleast i think it crashes
any suggestions on deluge or another bittorrent app that has the ability to only download certain files from the torrent versus the entire torrent

I use transmission which allows you do select which files you want (and to give them a priority as well). It is a gtk+ app so will fit quite well with the gnome interface in ubuntu.

Do you get any hints in .xsession-errors?

or you could try running it from a terminal session to see if there are any errors

ok i just tried to run it in the terminal
heres the result
im still a newbe so im drawing a blank on what it means
i replaced my box name with ...@... for secrecy
(ocd thing)

what(): Address already in use

looks like the address/port combination that deluge is trying to use is already in use, do you have another bittorrent client running?

try doing and see if there are any connections using the configured port (default bittorrent ports are in the renage 6880-6889) but most clients allow you to change them.

i had utorrent running under wine
i didnt relize that thou
right now i got my ip set at 10000 so i got to change that
any other good ports to use besides the ones u stated before
ive got two computers and my router only allows me to foward a port to a single computer
