Thread: Seedbox settings

Hello everyone.
I have purchased a seedbox with rutorrent(rtorrent) interface and I feel that my settings are horrible.
I tried searching the forum and the internet but had no luck finding a proper guide about configuring rutorrent to have best speeds and leeches.

I hope someone out there can point me into the right direction or give me a guide himself.
Below is my seedbox package info.

Memory: 2 GB
Burst: 3 GB
Disk Space:600 GB
Speed: 100 Mbit

Thank you for your attention!
Hope there is an answer there somewhere.

in your rtorrent file by those specs for sure in the .rtorrent.rc file set memory to 3GB looks like this max_memory_usage = 3G if you have nothing else running and for 100mbi lins set throttle like this upload_rate = 12288KB, download_rate = 12288KB and for the rest just play with for a good list of settings for the .rtorrent.rc file here is a good link for a reference ---> rtorrent

Thank you very much for your quick reply.

I've already done it.

I need help over here:

min_peers =
max_peers =
min_peers_seed =
max_peers_seed =
max_uploads =
max_open_files =
max_open_http =
max_open_sockets =

Thanks again.

This is how I have mine set up:

min_peers = 50
max_peers = 500
min_peers_seed =50
max_peers_seed = 500
max_uploads = 50
max_open_files = 128
max_open_http = 32
max_open_sockets = 768

Thank you very much.

I will give it a try.

them settings really depend on if you have a dedi or a semidedi but you should be able to play with them to get them prime and dont forget if you make a change in .rtorrent.rc restart rtorrent before they go in affect

Oh and you should post an introduction =p

you wont be able to permanently change those settings through rutorrent. you need shell access to do that, depending on your provider you may not have that.

Thank you all for your replies.

Gamestuff,
I have access to the file (.rtorrent.rc), I made the changes, but I have not seen substantial change...
