how much memory you allocate for the virtual machine?

allocated 512mb

It happens to me too. I'm stuck @ 85% almost an hour, but it continues after that, looks like u got the same prob too. I have no idea what causing it. Lama gilaaaaa..

Guys, for deluge, what would be the recommended Global Maximum Connection?
Currently i'm having it set at the default 250, but i'm finding surfing is on the slower than normal side and on some occasions some sites tend to time out as well.
I am using a D-Link 504T modem-router.
Any recommendations or advice?
Thanks!

You're getting stuck there because of Streamyx or whatever connection you are using. While installing, Ubuntu downloads the files over the net.

Try the windows port, it is on the website you know.

sure? cause i dont see any activity on my line

EDIT: waiting seems to pay off. its moving now

the max virtual disk space is allocated upon the creation of the virtual machine... you must be using downloaded appliance right?

ok i have finally gotten everything working. my network connection is bridged for ubuntu. however the deluge port test says the port is closed, even though i've forwarded the port for the ip.

deluge on both platform (windoze+linux) is memory hogging..and plus deluge on windoze is much slower than one's on linux..

im gonna give it a go to KTorrent..


@slash
make sure to port forward to your virtual machice's ip, not your pc's ip..do you use port range?

how come the torrents keep pausing/downloading/pausing/downloading?


EDIT: not sure why this is happening. enabled shared folders in VMmanager. able to create and download a torrent, saving it outside of the virtual environment. but the 2nd torrent wasnt able to allocate the file, and the torrent keeps pausing/downloading/pausing. when i changed the save location to ubuntu desktop, this fixed the problem.

Update - Works for me!!! 5-6 torrents running at average speed of 120-140kB/s.

can deluge do hash check like any other torrent client. i tried but fail.

Anyone?

all along i've been using 130 max global, whether for utorrent, xunlei or deluge. Using 130 max global, 30 max for each torrent. Able to reach 60kb/s (speed at which I limit to. else housemates complain)

mine at first like this also, ktorrent stopping the torrent cause it says disk space is running out when actually there's still more
at configuration, advanced tab i left disable diskspace preallocation and fully preallocate diskspace unticked
i also emptied the partition where the shared folder is located on windows

max conn. 200, conn./torrent 20
max upload limit 30kB, upload slot 4
btw, if you're using nat, try change to bridge
when i use nat, sometime my windows can't resolve dns address
