Some questions about rtorrent

[arbaal]

try setting session = "" or comment it out in config file, restart rtorrent and see if it helps.

[fstokebanget]

if I do that, will all my downloads & uploads continue ? Or it'll make another session and can't find the old one ?

Can't tell for sure becouse i don't use rtorrent anymore. I guess they won't continue automatically after you have restarted your rtorrent and changed session options (dest). But your data won't be lost ofc and you should be able to add those torrents and start from the point you stopped =]

anyone has idea after put the tracker file into rtorrent, did it make a copy and save somewhere else, like in utorrent, all the active tracker file would go to Application Data\utorrent

From the man page:


-s directory
Session management will be enabled and the torrent files for all open downloads will be stored in this directory. Only one instance of rtorrent should be used with each session directory, though at the moment no locking is done. An empty string will disable the session directory.

If you're using a config file, then it's probably "session = ~/.session"

I haven't used rtorrent in a long time, but from looking at the user guide, it's pretty clear how to add a torrent without starting it (press Enter, type in torrent path, go to file view and choose). If the torrent keeps autostart for some reasons, you can still stop it and go to file view to change as well.

got it, thanks a lot, somehow when I changed from "session = ./session" to session = ~/session", the auto download stops

I have another question regarding rTorrent, why rTorrent can't get the total numbers of peers in the swarm ? It always display as 0. This is the screenshot of my rTorrent :

anyone knows how to make it works ?

thanks

I'm not sure how to stop it completely before it starts downloading. I load a torrent into rtorrent.

1. Use up/down arrows to highlight the torrent. (it highlights with three asteriesks)
2. Use right arrow once (now you will see Peer List, Info, File List, Tracker List, Chunks seen, and Transfer list)
3. Use down arrows twice to highlight File List
4. Use right arrow once to select a file inside the torrent.
5. hit shift-8 at the same time ( this will cycle from not downloading, low priority or high priority for all files.)

If you want to turn on and off different files hit spacebar once you have them selected.
