The program uses the libtorrent C++ library. libtorrent is an Open source implementation of the BitTorrent protocol Up through the 0. 4 branch, this was done through the python-libtorrent bindings for Python. In 0. 5, the python-libtorrent bindings were merged into the main client as the deluge_core extension. In future releases, it is likely the official Python bindings for libtorrent will be used.

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 their own website, deluge-torrent.org. Google Code is Google 's site for developers interested in Google-related/open-source development.

While under early development, Deluge was known as gTorrent, because it was to be a BitTorrent client for GNOME (the "g" in "gTorrent" stood for "GNOME"). A gnome is a Mythical creature characterized by its extremely small size and subterranean lifestyle When the very first version was released to the public on September 25, 2006, the client was renamed to Deluge to avoid implying that the client was GNOME-only.

The 0. 5 release, which is stable as of March 18, 2007, is a complete rewrite from the 0. 4. x code branch. This was to do away with some of the coding conventions in the earlier versions, aiming for a cleaner, more polished result. The second release in the 0. 5. x branch, 0. 5. 1. 1, added support for encryption, peer exchange, binary prefix and UPnP. Peer exchange ( PEX) is a feature of the BitTorrent Peer-to-peer protocol which like trackers and DHT, can be utilized to gather peers In computing binary prefixes are names or associated symbols that can precede a unit of measure (such as a Byte) to indicate multiplication by a power of two Universal Plug and Play ( UPnP) is a set of Computer network protocols promulgated by the UPnP Forum.

At about the time of the 0. 5. 1 release, the two original developers effectively left the project leaving Marcos 'markybob' Pintos and Andrew 'andar' Resch to continue development on their own. They have been the main developers on the project ever since with Resch primarily working on the upcoming 0. 6 branch.

Recently, work has been done to bring Deluge to other operating systems. Starting with version 0. 5. 4. 1, Deluge is available for Mac OS X via MacPorts and has an official Windows installer. Mac OS X (mæk oʊ ɛs tɛn is a line of computer Operating systems developed marketed and sold by Apple Inc, the latest of which is pre-loaded on all currently MacPorts, formerly called DarwinPorts, is a free / Open source software project to simplify installation of other free/open source software on the

Version 0. 5. 8. 8 was reverted back to 0. 5. 8. 7 due to a bug that caused Deluge to crash for some users.

Version 0. 5. 8. 9 was released after the 0. 5. 8. 8 bug, skipping a patched version of 0. 5. 8. 8.
