rtorrent runing on Debian

hello.

Im a noob using rtorrent and linux OS and going to share a server with that software. I have windows on my pc. I have been reading the commands to use rtorrent but until now only used utorrentgui. I know that he dont have wtorrent installed so my experience on ugui isnt helpful .


What Im going to need to install on my home pc to use the box? (don't know but probably only will have access to rtorrent). And What is the basic commands to use the program without screw things up? Any help is appreciated.


thanks and happy new year

YOU will need PUTTY on your home pc to connect to server and use rTorrent,also check HERE for help on how to use it.
Good Luck..

thanks for the reply. yes I already been on that site and is very helpful. About putty I read somewhere about it. So is the only program needed? well the best thing to me is start using it! cheers

open

people I bump my thread to don´t open a new one. The problem is when I complete a large file it takes forever checking the Hash. the rtorrent version is 0.7.9 Is updating the rtorrent version the only solution? thanks once again for the help.

John Pal,
You need to change the rtorrent config file.
I think it's nano ~rt/.rtorrent.rc
You need to turn off the hash check.
You need to do it in all versions.

Yeah it takes a while, I recommend you disable auto-hashing, because 99% of the time the files do complete with no errors.

:)

thanks for the advices. will do that.
