Thread: Update rutorrent?

So on my seedbox i had before, it said in rutorrent webgui "rTorrent: 0.8.9/0.12.9"
and now i got i new seedbox and it says "rTorrent: 0.8.7/0.12.7" ..
Is there any simple ssh command or any other way to update?
How?

Only if you got SSH-access and able to execute stuff as root...

sudo wget http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/downlo...-0.12.9.tar.gz
sudo wget http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/downlo...t-0.8.9.tar.gz

sudo tar zxvf libtorrent-0.12.9.tar.gz
sudo tar zxvf rtorrent-0.8.9.tar.gz

cd libtorrent-0.12.9
sudo ./autogen.sh
sudo ./configure
sudo make
sudo make install
cd ..

cd rtorrent-0.8.9
sudo ./autogen.sh
sudo ./configure --with-xmlrpc-c
sudo make
sudo make install
cd ..

After this, you also need to update rutorrent, all plugins and restart the instance for your user.

More info: look at the supplied tutorials on these forums...

Yes i have root access and all that stuff... but:

Sorry, no, I wrote how to update to rtorrent 0.8.9

Dunno why you are running an unstable version; are you renting from someone else or is this your own install?

I rent from a seedbox company and they are new and i wanted to get the dedicated server with rutorrent so they installed it for me... and this is what i got... i didnt get the latest so i want to update to it by myself.

But how do i update rutorrent then? I though it only was the 2 you wrote (libtorrent and rtorrent)... :/
