Have you started deluged (the deluge daemon) as a service? The command for running the client in CLI is deluge-console.

Here are some guides:

This will install it, set up the daemon, and connect to its console:

sudo apt-get install deluge deluged deluge-console

deluged

deluge-console

You can then add torrents like:

add -p /user/Downloads torrent_magnet_link

You could also try the local web UI.

Install deluge-web using your package manager (if not already installed). On Ubuntu, you can use

sudo apt-get install deluge-web.

Start the deluge-web service. You can do this by typing deluge-web in your terminal.

Once it's running, open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8112. This is the default address for the Deluge web interface.

The default password is deluge. Upon first login, you'll be prompted to change this password.

Once logged in, you can add, manage, and remove torrents just like you would in the desktop client.
