I have mostly used rutorrent cause it is flexible and can label your download by tracker...real light client...you can create torrent easily...
hate: sometime I find it tough to make big torrents...like in create a torrent..
<3 to all My friends here and thx to all who helped me..
I am more awesome than ScottK

I tried and failed a few times getting a web client for rtorrent.
I've had torrentflux-b4rt on my box, but with 50 torrents loaded, it was realy slow (only got like 3 Mb/s down, from top-trackers)
I deleted everything, and installed rtorrent with rutorrent als web front end, and i got say, didnt regret it for a moment!
I now have 300 torrents loaded, yesterday, i was uploading @ 7 Mb/s, while still being able to download at a decent speed.
Another plus, when you restart your server, running torrentflux, you have to restart all transfers manualy, rtorrent does this job automaticly, one by one, so that cpu usage isnt to high.
I would love to get rtorrent/rutorrent running - but I just can't get it setup and working on my server, no matter how often I try. So I use torrentflux-b4rt - which is starting to show its age and lack of updates - really quite slow when more than a few torrents are running, also loads the server a lot and as mentioned, restarting all the torrents is a pain. Sorting/labelling is non existant and its a pain to see how long you have been seeding (very useful for a lot of trackers with H&R rules). Having said all that it's a breeze to setup and it works!
Does anyone have a nice guide on how to install rtorrent with rutorrent frontend from scratch? The few I have seen don't seem to cover everything, and I'm a bit of a Linux noob so I get stuck easily!
Sraosha made a great tutorial. I didnt follow that one, i just tried my luck, didnt encounter any error (lucky me)

rtorrent! (Be aware rutorrent is not the same thing as rtorrent)
Mine is set up so perfectly for my needs. Very automated. Auto download, auto cross seeding, auto stop (for trackers that don't want you to exceed a certain ratio) and the option of auto delete of data (if needed, tend to avoid this in case I want to download)
Using lighttpd for the web server using rutorrent 3.0 for the web interface. Though I spend a lot of time in the console window.
It is a very efficient client, manages RAM fantastically and is completely configurable in case I find something that needs addressing. With Xirvik funding patching/development/improvements things can only get better.

Cheers! Will have a look at that and try and set it up, looks similar but slightly different ones to some I have tried before.Originally Posted by Transf0rmer
That sounds very nicely setup - just wondering if you could provide some insight into how you do it? I completely understand if you don't want to - wouldn't be surprised if you wanted to keep it to yourself! But just curious about the general principle about how you go about it, im guessing some RSS/script combination
thats nice man! Auto cross seeding :)
For now, i keep doing it manualy, so i have something to do, but it's nice to know it's possible to implement!
RSS is one possibility, but I'm too impatient for that. I use irssi (IRC client) with autograbber scripts. Join the trackers announce channel to start monitoring releases. If you head into each trackers forums you will usually find the script for that specific tracker. You fill out your regular expressions to match to releases you want to grab and which to ignore and they get put into a watch directory.
Have rtorrent auto grab torrents from that directory and your on your way.
schedule = watch_directorytracker1,5,5,load_start=/home/username/tracker1watch/*.torrent
Can provide more assistance if you ever want to set it up for yourself. Just let me know.
