Description
Originally reported at:
Binary package hint: deluge
By default, the download folder of deluge is set to the home of the user. Starting with Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala, a "Downloads" folder was created, and is used by Firefox for example. I think the default configuration of the deluge package should have the default download folder set to ~/Downloads.

Thanks, not originally my ticket, but I should have remembered the detail about XDG dirs.
$XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR is set to my home directory
To fix this delete the file ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs then run 'xdg-user-dirs-update'
In Ubuntu ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs is XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR="$HOME/Downloads"

I think you probably mean "use $XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR as defined by http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/xdg-user-dirs as the default download location."
Although on my Debian system $XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR is set to my home directory instead of ~/Downloads, which exists, but this may be due to my own fault and an old home dir. What is it on a fresh Ubuntu install?
