Thread: Storage error: [Hash checker was unable to map chunk: Too many open files] error

Hi everyone,

I downloaded a torrent, a error occurs "Storage error: [Hash checker was unable to map chunk: Too many open files]". After that, the torrent was paused.

How to fix it? I found a article on the Internet which said "I must to edit max_open_files to fix that", but I see in my .rtorrent.rc setting, I see network.max_open_files.set = 1024.

Many thanks,
