Making Deluge as the default torrent client on Linux Mint

Hi,

This post is about making "Deluge" as the default torrent client instead of "Transmission".

Run the following command to make "Deluge" the default client for magnet links.

xdg-mime default deluge.desktop x-scheme-handler/magnet

To make "Deluge" as the default torrent client, go through the following steps..

  • Right click on the torrent file.
  • Go to properties.
  • Go to "Open With" tab.
  • Select "Deluge" from the list and click "Set as default" button.

And thats all!, Happy downloding!
