this is so annoying..... i have to manually delete the .rtorrent.rc file and then reinstall the pkg everytime.

 

even if i try "untorrent stop" and "start" 2 seconds later i get the same "500-internal error" and i have to delete the .rtorrent.rc file again.

 

it wont even keep any settings in the .rtorrent.rc file if i change them in the web interface.

 

are there any ports i have to open/adjust on the router to make this work.

 

this is the only stupid thing that i cant figure out, all other issues i had with unraid are somewhat sorted out

Is the .rtorrent.rc file different before and after you run rtorrent? I haven't used this specific package yet, but I'm fairly certain changes made in the web interface are not applied to the .rtorrent.rc file. That file must be edited directly for the changes to become persistent.

No the .rc file doesn't change when I change the settings in the web interface.

But I tried changing the settings manually but as I said if the file exist then the web interface gives me the 500 error

 

how do you edit the file ?

Did you do it with the windows wordpad or a linux text editor ?

rtorrent might not like the way windows ends the lines.

i was editing the file with wordpad, but that doesnt seem to make a difference. just downloaded notepad++ and edited the file with it. then sent command "untorrent stop" then "untorrent start" and going back to the webpage spits out the 500-internal error again.

 

it was running all night since last night, after i manually deleted the rc file and installed the pkg again. but a stop/reboot gives me always 500-internal error

...after i manually deleted the rc file...

 

Where exactly are you deleting it from? Give full path/name please.

 

Do this: delete folder 'rtorrent' which is located inside folder 'custom' on your flash key. Then reboot. Now there's no trace of previous installations.

that is the folder I was deleting the file from /flash/custom/rtorrent.

Sorry I didn't mention that. I did not try to delete the whole folder before. But all I see in there is te rc and the log file.

I'll give it a shot deletingthe folder as well, does my go file look ok to install it on every reboot??

I really have no idea why you would have such a problem. This package seems to work just fine for most people.

 

Jupilerman's suggestion reminds me to ask you, are you really sure that you are not adding carriage returns at the end of the lines when you edit the file?

 

The way UnTorrent installer works, it installs a fresh new config file in /custom/rtorrent/ only if no such file exists there.  But if the installer finds that such a config file already exists at that location, then the installer does nothing.

 

Also, I notice that in your 'go' file you install a whole bunch of other addons before installing UnTorrent. What are they? Maybe one of them is the reason for some incompatibility. Try eliminating them one by one and you'll find the culprit.

still no luck here, i thought i had it working yesterday, but again it only worked because the .rc file was originaly gone. i edited the go file to only these lines

#!/bin/bash

Notice the red color above your red color? So, how was it gone when the installer found it on your flash key?

That file right there was probably corrupted somehow. Get rid of it and things should go back to normal.

port_range = 20000-20000 (for a single port)

i think this was it...

 

because i changed the port to xxxx for a single port and every time i delete the .rc file it would work, then i change it again and it kept crapping out. now i set it as xxxx-xxxx for single port and i can stop and start without issues. i'll try a few reboots, see if it still sticks

 

tnx for the help guys

 

next project - ps3 media server on this box

is there a setting in the .rc file that will limit the amount of torrents being downloaded at the same time??

 

i personally prefer to download only 2-3 at a time and queue the rest, instead of 20 with a very low speed across all of them

 

is this possible?

No, you'll need to handle this outside of rtorrent by using the watch folders (ie, a script that copies .torrent files from a queue directory into the watch directory).

Is it possible to update this to rutorrent 3.0 so I can install the UnPack plugin?

Is it possible to update this to rutorrent 3.0 so I can install the UnPack plugin?

3.0 seemed a little buggy to me, so I thought I should maybe wait for 3.1 or something.

Maybe I'll give it another try.

 

I would be very grateful if you could, it supports RSS and the unpack plugin would save everyone a huge amount of time im sure

When i try to add a torrent file it loads correctly but then, the whole interface freezes for some time and the torrent doesnt download at all. When i type rtorrent in the console it outputs "root@Tower:~# Error in option file: ~/.rtorrent.rc:17: Could not prepare socket for listening: Address already in use".

 

What should i do?

It probably means you already have an rtorrent client listening on that port, and you need to kill it before starting a new instance of rtorrent.  (Only one process can listen to a port at a time)

When i try to add a torrent file it loads correctly but then, the whole interface freezes for some time and the torrent doesnt download at all.

How are you adding torrents?  By dropping the links in the "auto" folder?  Or from within the rtorrent screen?  Or from the rutorrent web page?

Then what freezes?  rtorrent or rutorrent?

I add it from the rutorrent web page and the downloading doesn't start. By freezing i mean that it sometimes takes very long time to load the gui after an action. I also receive that error occasionally

No torrent ever starts to download, though the same one works fine in a client on my pc.

You have rutorrent on your pc?

My guess would be that your unRAID server can't reach a name server. 

Or, your isp's name server automatically forwarded you someplace else.

But don't put money on my guess. 

 

The right place to search for answers to such questions would be the rutorrent forum. 

Here we just packaged rutorrent for unRAID as-is.

 

Why don't you try to isolate the problem?  Try dropping the torrent link into the "auto" watch-folder:

If that works then rutorrent is to blame.  If it doesn't then it's the underlying rtorrent, or something below that.

 

 

UnTorrent works very nice for me.  Thanks for setting this up.

 

What I'd like to do is password protect the rutorrent webpage.  Has anyone done this yet with .htaccess?

 

 

Has anyone got the rss feeds to work? I installed it and am able to add rss feeds but nothing ever shows up with them. Can someone provide me with a sample feed url to try. I also installed the cookies plugin like it said in the wiki, I did this by simply copying the cookies plugin from the 2.9 download pack. Let me know if that is the wrong one or if it is not needed.

 

Thanks,

Scott
