Deluge 0.5.7 released on 26 Nov 2007. Deluge is a full-featured lightweight cross-platform BitTorrent client. It is available for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. It uses libtorrent in it’s backend and PyGTK for it’s user interface. Deluge features a rich plugin collection. I would like to include the changes between Deluge from version 0.5.6.1 as below.

Deluge 0.5.7 (26 November 2007)
