Thread: .rtorrent.rc settings

Hi everyone, i'm new here and i'm very glad to find out that this community really helps people in no time :D.
I would like to know what settings to use for .rtorrent regarding on my configuration:



2.0ghz procesor(1 core), 512mb ram, 1tb hdd, upload: 5.8 MB/s download 5.8 MB/s.

My current settings are keepening my processor on full download at 40%. my current settings are :

Code:

execute = {sh,-c,rm -f /home/***/rtorrent/session/rpc.socket}scgi_local = /home/***/rtorrent/session/rpc.socket
execute = {sh,-c,chmod 0666 /home/***/rtorrent/session/rpc.socket}
encoding_list = UTF-8
system.umask.set = 022
port_range = 23877-23877
port_random = no
check_hash = no
directory = /home***/downloads
session = /home/***/rtorrent/session
encryption = allow_incoming, try_outgoing, enable_retry
schedule = watch_directory,1,1,"load_start=/home/***/rtorrent/watch/*.torre$
#schedule = untied_directory,5,5,"stop_untied=/home/***/rtorrent/watch/*.to$
trackers.enable = 1
min_peers = 100
max_peers = 300
min_peers_seed = 100
max_peers_seed = 300
max_uploads = 350
download_rate = 0
upload_rate = 0
use_udp_trackers = yes
dht = off
dht_port = 6881
peer_exchange = yes
hash_read_ahead = 10
hash_interval = 50
hash_max_tries = 1

Thank you :)

If you're satisfied with the performance I wouldn't change anything. I would say your setting is already well configured for high-performance torrenting and if it doesn't slow down your server just keep it so. rtorrent isn't demanding on CPU or memory, I only occasionally run into I/O peeks while hashing. But I see you've turned that option down.

First of all, what is the version of rtorrent you're using?

Also, if you're downloading and seeding on private trackers, please change this option!

peer_exchange = no

Add this option as well to save on memory

max_memory_usage = 320M

Other than that, your settings are pretty solid. I'll be able to help you further if you were to provide the version of rtorrent you're on.

Thank you very much for answering ! I'm using rtorrent 0.8.9. But i have a little problem. When rss is enabled, i want the download to start and so on. But i'm having troubles with the number of peers. Let me explain. When a torrent is added automaticly in my client its normal that the numer of peers to be 0, ok. Now the thing is that very ofter that number remains that way for hours, and the download is not starting. but if i add manualy that torrent or i stop and resume it, works. Someone can help me ? Maybe some fixes in my settings.

Which tracker does the rss belong to?

Also, When you click on the torrent, what color is it's status? Red (error) ?

What is the message displayed at the tracker part (Status) ?

On every tracker. Everything its fine with the torrent, i'm not getting any error.

You're using private trackers only right?

Have you tried it on public trackers? See if it works?

Only. A torrent was added right now by the rss and i see that i get this Tracker Status: Storage error: [File chunk read error: Cannot allocate memory] . I think i will increase the max memory, uy how much :-? Now its not set.
