How to configure rtorrent in rutorrent by WhoCares

Hi,

Thought I'd post this for anyone out there like me who bought the rutorrent package by WhoCares (http://readynasxtras.com/readynas-sparc-add-ons/rutorrent-rtorrent-sparc) and wanted to configure it.

Settings not Saving
With the rutorrent plugin, some settings are rutorrent specific (e.g. RSS downloader, Autotools) and some are rtorrent specific (port number, upload/download limit, etc). Adjusting the rtorrent settings via the rutorrent interface does not work and has to be done via .rtorrent.rc.

Permissions
When I first installed rutorrent it had no access to my media share so torrents wouldn't download. To fix this:

• SSH into the ReadyNas


• cd /c


• chgrp admin <your-media-directory> -R


• chmod g+wr <your-media-directory> -R

Also it wouldn't save any rutorrent settings such as my RSS settings, to fix this I did:

• SSH into the ReadyNas


• cd /c


• chown admin:admin .rutorrent -R


• chmod ug+wr .rutorrent -R

Configuring rTorrent
By default, rtorrent is installed in such a way that you can't configure it using an rtorrent.rc file (as mentioned above, this is necessary to configure rtorrent options - rutorrent doesn't allow it)
To make it use an rtorrent.rc file:

• SSH into the ReadyNas


• cp /usr/share/doc/rtorrent/examples/rtorrent.rc /c/home/admin/.rtorrent.rc


• Edit /etc/frontview/addons/bin/RUTORRENT/RUTORRENT_service


• Change the last line to '/usr/bin/rtorrent -o scgi_local=/tmp/rutorrent.sock -o port_range=${PORTRANGE}' (You are removing the -d and -n options)


• Restart ReadyNas

rTorrent will now use the rtorrent.rc in /c/home/admin. Configure this as you see fit.

Hope this helps someone out!
