Starting and ending rtorrent (and others) in screen

linux-howto

https://bbs.archlinux.org – Good day to all Archers,First off, what I'd like to accomplish (in case what I'm currently trying is not the best way):I have an HP Proliant server connected to my home network. This server runs programs such as ps3mediaserver, rssdler and rtorrent (all in screen sessions to easily manage with ssh). I live in the Republic of South Africa, and as such my internet situation is not too great. My ISP markets my account as an uncapped 1mbps account (1mbps is near top-of-the-line here) but it is shaped using a 2 tier rolling window scheme. Basically, between the hours of 06:00:00 and 24:00 (HowTos)

I've set up my home desktop to run as a VNC/FTP server using tightvnc and filezilla for torrents on Windows XP and everything was super fast and worked great but I wanted to switch everything to linux

Installed Mint 14 (I know not ubuntu but I like this forum and it's debian based anyway) desktop and made it a SSH/FTP box instead. Used sshd and ftpd. Those work pretty well.

systemd, tmux and rTorrent 40 weeks 52 min ago

Check the journal after a reboot for error messages related to your rtorrent.service, like this:journalctl -b _SYSTEMD_UNIT=rtorrent.serviceor maybe this:journalctl -b | grep rtorrentJust a hunch (I could be wrong), but it's possible that during boot-up systemd tries to start rtorrent.service before the network is up, causing rtorrent to bail out.

This works for me, YMMV:/etc/systemd/system/screen.service[Unit] Description=Detached screen session After=network.target

[Service] Type=oneshot RemainAfterExit=yes User=tomk ExecStart=/usr/bin/screen -dm

[Install] Wants=network.target WantedBy=multi-user.target ~/.screenrc... screen -t rtorrent 5 /usr/bin/rtorrent ...

How do I get rtorrent to use a socks5 proxy? I've tried to get socks5 to work with rtorrent, but it doesn't seem to have any impact.

Setup the socks5 proxy on port 9800:

ssh -ND 9800 user@otherhost

in .rtorrent.rc

http_proxy=127.0.0.7:9800 proxy_address=127.0.0.7:9800

It cannot download any data from tracker.

Tracker: [Server returned nothing (no headers, no data)]

And my ip does not app

I installed rTorrent manually (through compiling and such), but now I need to upgrade it.

I had a look at whether my system recognised rTorrent being 'installed', and it said it wasn't, so if I did 'sudo apt-get install rtorrent' it'd install an entirely new package.

Regulate Internet usage 3 years 13 weeks ago

Hi there,

We are switching from an uncapped 512kb line to a 4MB line at the office... One catch though. The 4MB line will only be linked to a 30GB account, without the option to top up.

Ubuntu 10.10 LAN Torrent Seedbox With Avalanche-rt, Lighttpd, Rtorrent, Vsftpd And Samba

This tutorial is based on a LAN setup, but it should also be applicable for an Internet seedbox (e.g. on a vps or rootds), but some additional steps may need to be performed (firewall, securing rpc-mount, generally hardening of the server).
