Guide: rTorrent + ruTorrent installation - koper89 - 19th Jan, 2014 07:47 AM
EDIT: I managed to make a fully automated script for installation and configuration of rtorrent + nginx + rutorrent + php5-fpm, extremly lightweigh, fast downloads, web access, fully customizable installation - (every setting in rtorrent can be changed before installation, and of cours you can set nicelevel of the rtorrent)
# HOW TO USE THIS SCRIPT
# Log in to the RPi as root in SSH
# Download this script:
# wget -O rtorrent_pi.sh http://iqes.pl/upload/rtorrent_pi.sh
# Edit any SETTINGS
# nano rtorrent_pi.sh (Ctrl-o to save and Ctrl-x to exit).
# Set execute permssions so the script can run:
# chmod u+x rtorrent_pi.sh
# Run this script:
# ./rtorrent_pi.sh
# ABOUT RTORRENT
For me it's much lighter than transmission, got pretty fast download speed (more than 3MB/s with sync ext4 partition I'll try async today), stable, no problems with running xbmc during download/upload. Really low Memory usage, CPU Usage can be adjusted according to NICELEVEL. ruTorrent is much more intuitive for me compared to transmission and have a lot of usefull plugins like unrar, geoip, auto-rss download, auto-irc download, torrent sites searchers and much more.

UPDATES:
28.01.14 - Added /etc/default/rtorrent it's the same as couchpotato file where you can ENABLE/DISABLE rtorrent, set NICELEVEL, and change directory for rtorrent config file.
28.01.14 - Uploaded file for new hosting, root access is not needed now (i suppouse
, i'll check that when I'll be back from work)28.01.14 - BUG fixed, works like a charm now
KNOWN BUGS:
- Sometimes this is happening when installing whole package E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
(fixed by looping whole process, if the error occurs )
TO DO:
- set php5-fpm an nginx max working processes
- add more options on rtorrent config to set
- fully test it on more than 1 device

Awesome, i'll give a try. Thanks
After Transmission that cannot use proxy, and Deluge that is messing my folders for unknowns reasons and keep redownloading sames thing, maybe this time it will works
RE: Guide: rTorrent + ruTorrent installation - koper89 - 28th Jan, 2014 08:12 PM
I'll add proxy settings for script, and will try to add more advanced settings in future. But for now you can just edit config file of rtorrent and change #http_proxy = url

There is a whitespace on line 33 after USER
RE: Guide: rTorrent + ruTorrent installation - koper89 - 28th Jan, 2014 09:01 PM
try to download it once more i downloaded it now and i'm sure it's full, if wget won't work try downloading it to your PC and upload via SAMBA to xbian for example in xbian folder, so from SSH go to cd /home/xbian and
# Edit any SETTINGS
# nano rtorrent_pi.sh (Ctrl-o to save and Ctrl-x to exit).
# Set execute permssions so the script can run:
# chmod u+x rtorrent_pi.sh
# Run this script:
# ./rtorrent_pi.sh
LINK: http://iqes.pl/upload/rtorrent_pi.sh
Found some bugs, I'll test it now and try to fix all of them.
RE: Guide: rTorrent + ruTorrent installation - maiis - 29th Jan, 2014 02:36 AM
I mean there is a space between there 'USER =xbian' on line 33, nothing wrong with the wget.
RE: Guide: rTorrent + ruTorrent installation - koper89 - 29th Jan, 2014 02:45 AM
true, did you tried to install it? It was occured last time, sorry for inconvinience - i did some updates in work without testing it, now I'm testing it in my house, I'll update this post when it's completly finished.
And it's strongly recommended to turn off any CPU consuming service like xbmc, couchpotato, sickbeard do it by "sudo service xbmc stop"
EDIT:
Fully tested on fresh install of xbian 1 beta2, works like a charm just remember to sudo service xbmc stop. and rest like in howto
Best wishes
BTW:

Someone have an idea why dpkg is interrupted on some point? and i need to correct it: and loop my script?

@koper89
dpkg crshing is not you bug. what exactly is casing it will probably stay unknown, but there are some ways how keep this at minimum or completely go away (from side of xbian).
a bit complicated investigation also because libdpkg and dpkg changed few times during past weeks. definitely it is combination of more factors where dpkg dies on low memory situation.
show me your /etc/sysctl.d/xbian.conf

Quote:vm.dirty_ratio = 55I tried this on different devices, but I looped my script to deal with it (repair problem and install things that's not installed already). So it'll take more time but it ensures that it'll be completed with success.

RE: Guide: rTorrent + ruTorrent installation - mk01 - 5th Feb, 2014 02:46 AM
can you try with vm.min_free_kbytes= 16384 and 32768 ?
RE: Guide: rTorrent + ruTorrent installation - koper89 - 5th Feb, 2014 02:57 AM
I'll try this one on fresh install.
RE: Guide: rTorrent + ruTorrent installation - vili7 - 1st Apr, 2014 05:03 PM
Is there a way to connect to rutorrent webinterface outside local network?
RE: Guide: rTorrent + ruTorrent installation - GnobarEl - 1st Apr, 2014 07:25 PM
So far so good. This tool have a lot of potential. I don't want to return to trasmission.
Its possible to use sickbeard and ruTorrent? I can't add it

Yes, just forward rutorrent port in your router to raspberry Pi IP .
