I'm using Kodibuntu 14.2 on a NUC and would like to schedule Deluge (or something else) to download a daily video podcast at night so that I can watch it using Kodi the next day.

Do you have to log out of Kodi and into Kodibuntu each night so that Deluge can handle the download? Or can you leave Kodi running somehow and Deluge will start up in the background?

you can easily run any application in the background. Since kodi-standalone mode does not use a window manager, you should use a daemon service with a web gui. Most torrent clients support this, e.g. transmission

To run Kodi I usually have to log out of Kodibuntu (where I would e.g. run Transmisson from) and then log back into Kodi - do you just run Kodi directly from kodibuntu (to avoid logging out)?

Sorry for the dumb questions and many thanks for your help.

I was trying to say that you do not need to login to the desktop session if you run transmission as deamon

see 4 and 5 from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Transm...ion_Daemon

You could just run rtorrent in a screen.

yep rtorrent is perfect for this.

Many thanks, I'll give that a go
