[How to] rtorrent & ntorrent

[lyka]

I just solved my problem, by removing lighttpd screen bash rtorrent and reinstalling.

Then i edited S99torrent just replacing:

user="p2p"

with

user="admin"

which is my user on asus router.

This solved my issue.


is 0.8 a beta? Because on some tracker is banned.

[lyka]

someone got rtorrent 0.7.9 and libtorrent 0.11.9 in ipk format? Because i updated and can't find the package to downgrade.

[starbay]

Is it possible to make rtorrent auto-start torrents processing after router turn-on?
I've checker rtorrent.conf and did not find any setting related to this.
Thanks in advance.

last night i tried wtorrent, really nice but i found it too slow. When i click on a torrent to get infos and details it just takes minutes before i see something. The same is when i log in.

Anyone noticed the same?

reading on the site of ntorrent, i saw that the build files are now created.
Some week ago i tried to build the svn version of ntorrent without success, now it just works, and have some really nice improvement, starting from the autoconnect feature, going to a better sorting method and plugins enhancements.

The only thing i miss is the feed option present in some other gui.

from the author site:

You can download nTorrent from the "downloads tab" on this page. If you however is interested in the latest version, you can download from the SVN repository.

# svn co http://ntorrent.googlecode.com/svn/trunk ntorrent

This will create a folder ntorrent containing the sourcefiles in your current working directory. to run the latest version you can issue "ant run" within the ntorrent directory. check build.xml for other build targets.

I tried to install rtorrent from the howto, but for the http://192.168.1.1:8081/RPC2 there is some 500- internal server error and nothing else.
On http://192.168.1.1:8081 everithing is ok, on ps there is lighttpd, and rtorrent.

In the lighttpd error log:

ver. 0.5 of nTorrent without lighttpd php and /RPC2 dance compressed guide
connection throught SSH on port 5000 (Attach pic.)
UPDATED 10.10.2008
best install after you finished wengi guide (checked on oleg's 1.9.2.7-10, but i don't use 3 partition like /tmp/mnt/disc0_3/torrent/(because have only 16GB Flash drive))

ipkg update
ipkg upgrade
ipkg install rtorrent
ipkg install screen
mkdir /opt/share/torrent/session

You don't need other packages like php, lighttpd, dependence is OK

rm /opt/etc/rtorrent.conf
nano /opt/etc/rtorrent.conf

iptables -I INPUT 1 -p udp -i "$1" --dport 6881 -j ACCEPT

nano /opt/etc/init.d/S99rtorrent
you must edit some code, to start rtorrent with right config file

unsharp and change #replace dirlayout=RTORRENT_DEFAULT to: replace dirlayout=RTORRENT_ANOTHER
change user="user" to: user="your_login_name"
change logfile="/opt/var/log/rtorrentInit.log" to: logfile="/opt/share/torrent/rtorrentInit.log"

reboot, wait a minute try to connect ntorrent, happy torrenting :-)

Debugging:
try and watch for errors, ad is in /opt/share/torrent/rtorrentInit.log:

rtorrent -n -o import=/opt/etc/rtorrent.conf

Hi!

I followed gouryella's "how to", And managed to make it run, but now, when I put something to download it says Timeout was Reached.
How can I fix that...
I'm a totally newbie when it comes to linux...
Pls HELP!

[poiu]

Y really cant get it now .
Try to setup rtorrent without lightttpd, using Gouryella setup and run in this :
[admin@router root]$ sh /opt/etc/init.d/S99rtorrent start
[: missing argument after `RTORRENT_DEFAULT'
[: missing argument after `RTORRENT_DEFAULT'
[: missing argument after `RTORRENT_DEFAULT'
Starting rtorrent: rtorrent.
Then :

i had the same problem, but now, its working. i think something got updated with ipkg, and now its the same as it was.

[Serpent]

Gouryella's HowTo is very pragmatic, but is working.
A much elegant (conformable to start/stop scripts) approach is al37919's short how to.
And poiu, don't forget to add scgi_port = localhost:5000 in your /opt/etc/rtorrent.conf

[poiu]

Serpent, i do that allready, this is the result ..
I uninstall rtorrent/lighthtpd/screen, do all dance again, the same.
T he good news i manage to make ntorrent gui work somehow, for 1 day, but today failed for some reason .
Cant connect with lighttpd or without on 5000 routed by ssh.
Rtorrent is there, on console working (lynx), starting with the same errors.
Router is on a ups, so no power fail here ..
Gouryella wont work for me, try't again.
I try http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=...light=rtorrent but i get some xtml/html error in all browsers.
I am sick for now, but i get crazy too with this stubborn rtorrent ....and the humor in this is a wile ago i manage to get rtorrent work with ease, but i upgrade to .10 so all was lost.
