Can someone explain, how to configure download directories and other settings?It always defaults back to factory settings if you reboot ReadyNAS or restart addon.It`s a known behaviour of ruTorrent GUI: http://forums.rutorrent.org/index.php?topic=570.0 Also I couldnt find corresponding rtorrent.rc file anywhere in my unit, so where are the default settings actually kept? :roll: Basically my problem is, that it always defaults download directory to /c/media , which I have deleted because I use different share names... (Downloads for example) :?

are u attempting to make the settings permanent ?.... im kind of confused as to what your trying to do ...i assume u found the options to change the directory on rutorrent it's self ... the setting files r in a hidden folder on ur nas ( dont recommend messing with it to much or at all lol but).. "\c\.rutorrent" a hidden directory is the root of the app..if u have any success with making the settings carry over please post ... id love to play with it also

Yes I want to make some of the settings permanent...Unfortunately I cannot find any trace of rtorrent config file... :? RuTorrent is only WebGUI frontend, my question is about rtorrent config...EDIT: OK, it wasnt the addon issue at all.Basically I had a strange problem, where Downloads share wasnt writable to that addon. Changed share owner to nobody, and all began to work as expected.Still would like to know where are rtorrent default settings are kept... :P

I have the same issue. When i restart my nas all the settings are from scratch=( all the torrents that where seeding is missing and so on. How do i cange the settings permanent ?

I have some answers, but not solutions (yet).It appears they are starting up the rtorrent deamon with the -n option:/usr/bin/rtorrent -n -d /c/media -o scgi_local=/tmp/rutorrent.sock -o port_range=${PORTRANGE}That option does this according to rtorrent help: "Don't try to load ~/.rtorrent.rc on startup"I think normally that .rtorrent.rc is where these kinds of settings would be. I kind of agree that its lame that ruTorrent is not able to push settings changes into the rc file, or really I guess rtorrent is probably to blame for not having a way to push changes of the session back into the rc file. so the GUI is mostly useless for a lot of the settings other than temporary basis, it would appear. I'm not sure at all where to put the settings you want if not going to load the rc file or whether there is a systemside default rc file that can be read, I'm looking into it.As for as /c/media always being the default location, this is also hard coded into the startup script with the -d option (see above), so edit that script to change the default download location to something else you want or remove it altogether.

Thank you for this excellent post. I hope you continue with your experiments and post your results as you find new settings/scripts/apps that work.

New guy here, just about to install this addon, hopefully i'll get it to work, if not, i'll either edit this post, or reply if any new replies are in, thanks again.

*EDIT* My first addon ever installed, well after the PHP addon ofcourse, and it seems to be working flawlessly.

ReadyNAS:/etc/frontview/addons/bin/RUTORRENT# /usr/bin/rtorrent -o scgi_local=/tmp/rutorrent.sock
/usr/bin/rtorrent: /usr/local/lib/libcurl.so.4: no version information available (required by /usr/bin/rtorrent)
rtorrent: Error in option file: ~/.rtorrent.rc:85: Command "system.umask.set" does not exist.

I'm guessing system.umask.set has been deprecated..

Any way around this?

Not sure if anyone still looks at this thread as its very old... :)

I've just installed this addon and tried to follow all the steps here. Had loads of issues so in the end decided to start again with a fresh version of .rtorrent.rc to see if I could at least get it to start rtorrent.

This worked so I gradually added the customisations back. Everything worked until I added this one to modify the file permissions:
# chmod rwx for everybody
system.umask.set = 0000

Taking this back off and it works again but leaves admin as the owner. Any idea how I can fix this?
