RTorrent

From TMB Wiki

If you have got to the stage where you have rTorrent installed then you probably don't need much help configuring it but here is a sample .rtorrent.rc with a few tweaks.

There is also a RSS downloader written in python which can be used to grab torrents (and other media) and drop them in a rTorrent watch directory. Great for grabbing the EM or your favourite Readers Mixes. Here is a sample config file for the TMB RSS feed.

# This is an example resource file for rTorrent. Copy to
# ~/.rtorrent.rc and enable/modify the options as needed. Remember to
# uncomment the options you wish to enable.

# Maximum and minimum number of peers to connect to per torrent.
#min_peers = 40
#max_peers = 100

# Maximum number of simultanious uploads per torrent.
#max_uploads = 15

# Global upload and download rate in KiB. "0" for unlimited.
download_rate = 0
upload_rate = 100

# Default directory to save the downloaded torrents.
directory = ~/storage/torrents/

# Default session directory. Make sure you don't run multiple instance
# of rtorrent using the same session directory. Perhaps using a
# relative path?
session = ~/.rtorrent_session/

# The ip address reported to the tracker.
#ip = rakshasa

# The ip address the listening socket and outgoing connections is
# bound to.
#bind = rakshasa

# Port range to use for listening.

# Start opening ports at a random position within the port range.

# Check hash for finished torrents. Might be usefull until the bug is
# fixed that causes lack of diskspace not to be properly reported.

# Set whetever the client should try to connect to UDP trackers.
use_udp_trackers = yes

# Alternative calls to bind and ip that should handle dynamic ip's.

# Do not modify the following parameters unless you know what you're doing.

# Hash read-ahead controls how many MB to request the kernel to read
# ahead. If the value is too low the disk may not be fully utilized,

# pages in memory thus end up trashing.

# Interval between attempts to check the hash, in milliseconds.

# Number of attempts to check the hash while using the mincore status,
