False positive detection Deluge

[cYf0X]

Hi, I wasn't sure about whether to post this knowing where malwarebytes stands on torrent clients due to piracy issues. But I figure well functioning anti ransomware is more important than the issue surrounding such software. So here it is: Deluge 1.3.13 detected as malware.ransom.agent.generic presumably due to high disk activity by the program and not a ransomware attack.

Hello cYf0X and

At any time, a MBARW development team member, QA team member or Staffer may request the above temporary exclusion be altered/deleted.

As many improvements and fixes have been included with the release of MBARW Beta7 v0.9.16.484, it is strongly recommended this upgrade be made to the system in question.
