Hello!

I have been googling and trying different things for a good while now. Hope someone here can shed some light on the problem. I have a Debian 4.0 box set up with libtorrent-0.12.6 and rtorrent-0.8.6. I can not for the life of me get the watch-directory to work. I wget the torrents in and nothing happens. The relevant parts of .rtorrent.rc:

Code:
schedule = watch_directory,5,5,load_start=/home/oyvind/torrents/watch/*.torrent
I know the path is correct and I even tried to chmod the files 777 in case of some weird permission issue:
Code:
oyvind@oyvind:~$ ls -la /home/oyvind/torrents/watch/*.torrent
-rwxrwxrwx 1 oyvind oyvind 45372 2010-02-09 06:17 /home/oyvind/torrents/watch/93BF9C8F497542078BF39A92698F8C3C60AC5572.torrent
I couldn't find a way to set a log file for schedule in the documentation, with that it would be much easier to troubleshoot. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Code:
schedule = watch_directory_1,10,10,"load_start=/home/verwalter/rtorrent/bm/*.torrent"
example from my config. Maybe the "" does make a difference.

When you have rtorrent running with your config and you add a torrent, can you see anything in the app-log (press L)

Yeah, the quotes doesn't matter. However I tried a different indexing-site and it worked fine. Must be an issue with kickasstorrents.
