rtorrent.rc

[tchutchy]

can someone post a working rtorrent.rc for example to noobs like me

[Robos]

Yes Plz post the how to use rtorrent on wdlxtv live thx.

[tchutchy]

these are the lines that I've changed in rtorrent.rc :

Code: Select all

# Default directory to save the downloaded torrents.
directory = /tmp/mnt/709878039877C5DE/filme

# Default session directory. Make sure you don't run multiple instance
# of rtorrent using the same session directory. Perhaps using a
# relative path?
session = /tmp/mnt/709878039877C5DE/rtorrent/.session

# Watch a directory for new torrents, and stop those that have been
# deleted.
schedule = watch_directory,5,5,load_start=/tmp/mnt/709878039877C5DE/rtorrent/torrents/*.torrent
schedule = untied_directory,5,5,stop_untied=



# Port range to use for listening.
port_range = 48755

# Start opening ports at a random position within the port range.
port_random = no

# Check hash for finished torrents. Might be usefull until the bug is
# fixed that causes lack of diskspace not to be properly reported.
check_hash = no

# Enable safe sync since hash check on complete is disabled
safe_sync = yes

# Set whetever the client should try to connect to UDP trackers.
use_udp_trackers = yes



# Encryption options, set to none (default) or any combination of the following:
# allow_incoming, try_outgoing, require, require_RC4, enable_retry, prefer_plaintext
#
# The example value allows incoming encrypted connections, starts unencrypted
# outgoing connections but retries with encryption if they fail, preferring
# plaintext to RC4 encryption after the encrypted handshake
#
encryption = allow_incoming,enable_retry,prefer_plaintext

# Enable DHT support for trackerless torrents or when all trackers are down.
# May be set to "disable" (completely disable DHT), "off" (do not start DHT),
# "auto" (start and stop DHT as needed), or "on" (start DHT immediately).
# The default is "off". For DHT to work, a session directory must be defined.
#
dht = off



# Enable peer exchange (for torrents not marked private)
#
peer_exchange = no


rtorrent doesnt start anymore, where am I wrong ?

[ledan]

You'll have your answer there on why it doesn't start

Created .mnt file on my harddrive and then I updated S00custom-options rtorrent path and leaved path in rtorrent.rc to default. It works correct.

I understood that making a mistake in configuring the rtorrent.rc make rtorrent unreachable.
here is a configuration that do the job well,

Code: Select all

# ~/.rtorrent.rc and enable/modify the options as needed. Remember to

the torrent are downloading and seeding fine, rtorrent is kept alive after a cold reboot, the only thing is that the torrents don't survive and they are all rechecked. anybody knows why ?

Change line
session = /tmp/rt/rtorrent/.session
to
session = /tmp/media/usb/USB1/709878039877C5DE/rtorrent/.session

[b-rad.cc]

you shouldn't ever use /tmp/media/usb/USbx/<.....>

RTORRENT_DIR should contain something like: /tmp/mnt/<....> and your rtorrent.rc does not need a single modification from the stock one created. rtorrent is confirmed working by multiple people with zero modification to their /conf/rtorrent.rc and RTORRENT_DIR set correctly.

However, this does not change that if you use ntfs/hfs or your drive writes a bit slow you'll have to turn down the max download rate. It comes stock at 1MB/s, and that is apparently fast enough to cause system lockups / rtorrent crashes for some.

[tchutchy]

however it seems to me like the previous fw with deluge + plugins + torrents downloading has a faster osd response than this one with the same stuff ... if only it would had the problem of double mounts fixed

[tchutchy]

config_tool -c RTORRENT_DIR=/tmp/mnt/your usb disk id does nothing if set up through telnet ?
brad said that modifying this line is the only thing we need for rtorrent to go. I've made some extra settings in rtorrent.rc file and now none of the torrents start:
error message hostname wasnt solve or something

[rokr]

Add your IP in "IP to report to tracker" if you get a "cannot find localhost" response from the tracker when you start all torrents... Also check if your ports are open...
