Just wanted to say thanks for this awesome script! Got rtorrent and rutorrent up and running quickly and it makes a great xbian citizen w/ XBMC w/ the nice levels.

I also wanted to mange rtorrent remotely with a client such as Transdroid on my android, but it appears scgi wasn't configured to allow this. It also wasn't configured for authentication, and I didn't want to open nginx up to the entire world, so I enabled basic auth on it.

Here's what I did:

nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/rutorrent


Paste in following (edit port, auth realm, and auth file) and save.


server
{
listen 9999; ##Replace with port to listen on - preferably not same as rutorrent
server_name localhost;
location ^~ /scgi {
auth_basic "Restricted"; ##auth zone - whatever you want to use
auth_basic_user_file torpasswd; ##auth file - relative to /etc/nginx/.
include scgi_params;
scgi_pass unix:/tmp/rtorrent.sock;
}
}


Now you need an auth file at /etc/nginx/torpasswd (or whatever auth file name you specified)

Easiest way is to use this online tool here:

http://www.askapache.com/online-tools/htpasswd-generator/ -> Be sure to put in the realm used in "auth_basic" in nginx config above, and select md5 and Basic Auth.

nano /etc/nginx/torpasswd -> paste in digest algorithm above

sudo /etc/init.d/nginx restart

Enjoy!

In transdroid, you specify user name and password, and then for SCGI mount point you put "/scgi", and also specify the port number you mapped it to. NAT the port through your router and you've got access anywhere with Dynamic DNS!

The ONLY problem I have is that the torrents are saved as root.

Where do I need to make the change so that torrents are downloaded as a user ?

Thanks :-)

Hi,

I've the same question. I suppose we need to do some change in /etc/init.d/rtorrent, because there's a USER var, but it is not used
