I am using Unraid 4.42 with BubbaRaid latest vers

 

The torrent function works fine with the exception that it stops at random times - usually around 5 minutes..

When running it downloads and uploads torrent fine.

 

 

I have rebooted the Unraid and restarted the Torrent but with the same results of it stopping at random times.

 

Help to resolve this would be much appreciated

Is the uploading and downloading stopping or is rtorrent itself stopping?

 

If the uploads and downloads are stopping there is not a whole lot that can be done, but you can try to set up your router so that the proper ports are forwarded.

 

If rtorrent itself is stopping then you might want to ask bubbaQ about that.  I have on more than one occasion run into the same problem.  It can be a little annoying but it does not happen often enough for me that I care to really address it or figure out why it is happening.

Thanks for the reply.

 

 

The actual torrent pgm itself stops and has to be restarted.

 

It seemed to work fine the first day I installed it, then this stopping started hapenning.

Where are you storing the torrents?  This can happen if it runs out of RAM (i.e. you store things to the root file system, including /tmp)

I am storing the torrents on Disk1 of the unraid shares and still have more than 100gig of space.

 

I left the directories and location as default and the location as disk1.

What about location for temporary files?

My torrent directories:

 

Disk1 - unraid share drive  158 gig free space

 

 

Dir structure:

 

disk1/torrents/

disk1/torrents/auto

disk1/torrents/complete

diak1/torrents/downloading

disk1/torrents/downloading/rtorrent.session

 

 

 

------MY TORRENT CONFIG------------

# This is the resource file for rTorrent.

# BubbaRaid expects this file to be in /root/.rtorrent.rc

#

# Based on original .rtorrent.rc file from http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/

# Modified by Bubba for BubbaRaid

#

# This assumes the following directory structure:

#

# /mnt/disk1/torrents/downloading - Temporaray location for torrents while downloading (see "directory")

# /mnt/disk1/torrents/complete      - Torrents are moved here when complete (see "on_finished")

# /mnt/disk1/torrents/auto            - The 'autoload' directory for rtorrent to use.  Place a file

#                                                    in here, and rtorrent loads it automatically.

Thought this might help in case i did somethine wrong in the config

The latest run the torrent pgms lasted for about 40 mins before  it report it could not connect

Is there a log which might help me see what is causing the torrent server to terminate?

 

Joeman

 

just a note: my torrent service also stops from time to time (and sometimes it doesn't for days)

 

I have more serious unraid problems now (not posted about'em yet) - so this is really minor currently

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

I seemed to have fixed the problem by reinstalling the old config files and putting back by info.

 

Odd,  but so far it is working well, again.

 

Torrents coming in at very good speeds and holding.....

 

Time will tell
