Working Rtorrent + Ntorrent thru SSH guide.

Install from top to bottom. After installing ipkg and samba.
Copy and paste this to putty. Others are common sense.
Change the directory location where you put the attach ipk files.

ipkg install /opt/soft/nano_2.0.7-1_mipsel.ipk
ipkg install /opt/soft/ncurses_5.6-3_mipsel.ipk
ipkg install /opt/soft/ncursesw_5.6-2_mipsel.ipk

ipkg install /opt/soft/rtorrent_0.8.3-1_mipsel.ipk
ipkg install /opt/soft/libtorrent_0.12.3-1_mipsel.ipk

Edit:

nano -w /opt/etc/init.d/S99rtorrent

Change the beginning with this one: dirlayout=RTORRENT_Custom
Change according to your login to the router: user="admin"

Exit and Save

chmod +x /opt/etc/init.d/S99rtorrent

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

Paste This: Check all variables, you may want to changes some details.
If error exist, check and troubleshoot errors. "Usually missing folder" create the folder and chmod 777 the directory.

rTorrent compressed guide
UPDATED 13.4.2009 nTorrent 0.5
best install after you finished 1st part of wengi guide (checked on oleg's 1.9.2.7-10 with latest rtorrent)

Code:

ipkg update
ipkg upgrade
ipkg install rtorrent
ipkg install screen
mkdir /opt/share/torrent/session
mkdir /opt/var
mkdir /opt/var/log
nano /opt/etc/rtorrent.conf

fail-safe contents of rtorrent.conf(stop on ratio removed):
http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/RTorrentCommonTasks (i am testning new(for me) features now)

Code:

scgi_port = localhost:5000
min_peers = 0
max_peers = 40
max_uploads = 5
port_range = 51777-51780
use_udp_trackers = yes
safe_sync = yes
dht = auto
dht_port = 6881
peer_exchange = yes
download_rate = 0
upload_rate = 60
check_hash = no
hash_read_ahead = 5
hash_max_tries = 5
hash_interval = 10
directory = /opt/share/torrent/work
session = /opt/share/torrent/session
schedule = watch_directory,5,5,load_start=/opt/share/torrent/dl/*.torrent
schedule = untied_directory,5,5,stop_untied=
schedule = untied_directory,5,5,close_untied=
schedule = untied_directory,5,5,remove_untied=
schedule = low_diskspace,5,60,close_low_diskspace=50M

Code:

nano /usr/local/sbin/post-firewall

add 2 lines to the the post-firewall(4 lines for newbies):

Code:

iptables -D INPUT -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 51777:51780 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p udp --dport 6881 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -j DROP

S99rtorrent is startup script, but only starting is working; stoping, restarting may not (celebrate or hate ecori for this)!

Code:

nano /opt/etc/init.d/S99rtorrent

paste this and check user="root" for own (QMax report that newest version has bad start script, this edited by ecori)
http://wl500g.info/attachment.php?at...3&d=1239607750

manually start rTorrent in console, very useful for debugging config file (ctr + q to quit)

Code:

rtorrent -n -o import=/opt/etc/rtorrent.conf
chmod +x /opt/etc/init.d/S99rtorrent

if everything is fine, just:

Code:

flashfs save && flashfs commit && flashfs enable && reboot

**t68kv** · 14-10-2008, 17:40

much better to include ipk package "with version" for the instruction to work even for a long time. Updates on other software may give problem and errors

**t68kv** · 30-10-2008, 03:59

ooops link is invalid... i will fix this after i got my backup.

It's not clear to me why did you installed old versions and next install latest.

Thanks

Great job gouryella !
Really easy and without extra packages, and it seems working fine.
You forget:

Code:

flashfs save && flashfs commit && flashfs enable && reboot

after nano in /usr/local/sbin/post-firewall

Thanks

Max

**gouryella** · 02-12-2008, 19:44

ok, fixed :-)

**QMax** · 02-12-2008, 20:06

Is not clear to me how /dl (watch dir) works in rtorrent.
I put a .torrent file on it, rtorrent starts downloading that file... what next ?
Do I have to clean manualy completed files ?

Is there a way to automate it using something like

Code:

on_finished = rm_torrent
on_finished = move_complete

How can i acces ntorrent from wan ?

**ravikjab** · 21-12-2008, 16:36

hello

I have a problem,

when I try and watch for errors, ad is in /opt/share/torrent/rtorrentInit.log:
Code:
rtorrent -n -o import=/opt/etc/rtorrent.conf

I have answer :
(10:33:41) The SCGI socket is bound to a specific network device yet may still pose a security risk, consid
er using 'scgi_local'.ommand failed: ratio: Command "stop_on_ratio" does not exist.
(10:35:11) Scheduled command failed: ratio: Command "stop_on_ratio" does not exist.

Now I don't know what shall I do.

Thanks for help.

add to post-firewall, to open ssh port to WAN, work as well from local net, only change ip(public ip)

Code:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT

good idea is using different port of ssh as prevention from hackers (post-boot)

Code:

#!/bin/sh
dropbear -p 321

check http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/browse....rc?rev=latest but some features not work for me ... it's basic guide

**grymster** · 19-01-2009, 10:25

2 gouryella,
Nice guide, short and solid, thanks.
I'll try it today.

update from 20/01/09:
works just fine.

**wpte** · 23-01-2009, 23:42

Well... I had this thing working completely, and I do have to say I really like rtorrent together with ntorrent.

but for some reason, from the one to the other day, I can't start any torrents anymore

when I log in via ntorrent, I can see everything, but I can't upload a .torrent file anymore

tried reinstalling all the packages with -force-reinstall and -force-overwrite
but I still don't have it working

anyone an idea?
I run it with openssh and transmission is also installed according to wengi's updated howto.
