Guide: rTorrent + ruTorrent installation

[koper89]

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.
