linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – 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. I've been trying to find a good CLI torrent interface and finally went with rTorrent for it's easy use with magnet files. But it causes major problems. When I start up rTorrent (or even transmission), it CRIPPLES network (Hardware)

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.

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 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).
