September 20, 20223 yr Unraid 6.9.2 Hello! I have been using Unraid for a few years and love it. My server manages a few thousand torrents with rTorrent, and I'm having issues with performance. For example, torrents that I expect to be running are not, download speeds are slower than expected, and actions in the GUI take a long time to complete. I see the following in my dashboard next to the Downloads share that my torrent client uses: I feel like this is some kind of system limit that I don't understand. Could you please help me understand the following? Does this share have a limit of 5000 I/O streams? If so, why does this limit exist? What is its purpose? Is this limit part of Unraid? Can this limit be raised by me? If so, will raising this limit improve my performance? Or does this indicate I need faster drives, or something different? Thanks for your help and insight!
September 20, 20223 yr Author Solution I think I figured out the issue here. I am dealing with a value in my rtorrent config file: # Maximum number of open files rtorrent can keep open (you have to modify the system wide settings with ulimit!) (`set_max_open_files`) # network.max_open_files.set = 5000 I will leave this here so that anyone else who is confused can find the answer.
