Thread: Question regarding ruTorrent

Hmm, can you go into Rtorrent via SSH and start them from there?

Thanks Redux.

This is how the problem was resolved:

I had the seedbox hard drive directories open in FileZilla. I tried to enter path of folders (that don't exist) while adding those 2 torrents in rutorrent.
After I got those errors, I removed those torrents, created those folders in FileZilla beforehand and I just referenced those folders while adding the torrents in rutorrent. Now there was no error

Not sure whether the directories open in FileZilla was responsible for this issue.

Any ideas, anyone?

ps: I'm not sure if I'm clear above.. If I'm not, please let me know.

The usual reasons that torrents will pause in rutorrent is either no peers or the path isn't valid. The latter appears to have been the case for you and you fixed this by creating the destination directories.

It isn't entirely clear what steps you may have missed leading up to this. When adding a new .torrent, your clients will normally create a folder if there are multiple files in the torrent. If you added something manually and you see the torrent paused.. you could have used the context menu (right click) from rutorrent > save to and chose or created a directory. Or if you prefer, you can do it from your ftp client as you did or with rtorrent via putty.

There really isn't any easier way to do it, if you want to name your own folders.

Possibly you could script it - if you can derive your folder names from the torrent titles and understand scripting. But it's pretty much just a decision of whether you think the organization is worth the time it takes to custom label folders.
