Deluge is a BitTorrent client, created using Python and GTK+ (through PyGTK). Deluge is currently usable on POSIX-compliant operating systems. It is intended to bring a native, full-featured client to GTK desktop environments such as GNOME and Xfce. An official Windows port is also available. The program uses the libtorrent C++ library through official Python bindings.[citation needed]
History

Deluge was created by two members of ubuntuforums.org, Zach Tibbitts and Alon Zakai and was previously being maintained and hosted at Google Code, but has now moved to its own website.
While under early development, Deluge was known as gTorrent because it was to be a BitTorrent client for GNOME. When the first version was released on September 25, 2006, it was renamed to Deluge to avoid implying that the client was GNOME-only.
The 0.5 release marked a complete rewrite from the 0.4.x code branch. The 0.5.x branch added support for encryption, peer exchange, binary prefix and UPnP.
At about the time of the 0.5.1 release, the two original developers effectively left the project leaving Marcos 'markybob' Pinto and Andrew 'andar' Resch to continue development on their own.
Version 0.5.4.1 saw support for both Mac OS X (via MacPorts) and Windows being introduced, and version 0.5.8.8's was retracted due to a bug that caused Deluge to crash for some users.
Around this time, Deluge became notable for its resistance to Comcast's bandwidth throttling without a change in code, while clients like Vuze (Azureus) and μTorrent had to borrow the method implemented by Deluge.[citation needed]
From version 1.1.1 through version 1.1.3, Windows installers were temporarily unavailable due to the Windows packager leaving the project.[1][dead link]
Following 1.1.3, packages for all operating systems were no longer provided by the developers; instead, source tars and community provided packages were released.[citation needed]
General features
Deluge aims to be a lightweight[2], secure[3], and feature-rich client. [4] As such, most of its features are part of plugin modules. Starting with version 1.0, Deluge separated its daemon (server/core) from its interface, allowing users to remotely manage the application over the web.
