Hello,

I'm currently using rTorrent with the ruTorrent WebUI interace (on an apache server), and I've been experiencing the following issue:
- Whenever I add a torrent larger than 800kb or so (through ruTorrent), it "fails to add torrent".

It works just fine if I upload it to the /watch folder, but still, it would be nice if I could get it working properly through ruTorrent.

I've tried to increase the max on my php.ini file, adding xmlrpc_size_limit to my .rtorrent.rc file and a few other tweaks, but neither of them worked.

Some help with this issue would be appreciated smiley.gif

Thanks in advance

I've been having this problem since I started using ruTorrent a couple of years ago. I tried every fix listed. My php.ini file has a size limit well above 1MB and it always works fine putting the torrent in the watch folder. I'd also like a bit of help smiley.gif

Thanks but don't work for me.
When i add this line in my .rtorrent.rc
Code:
network.xmlrpc.size_limit.set = 3Mand i restart rtorrent, he don't start.
Don't understand why. I user 0.8.6/0.12.6 with rutorrent 3.4.

hmm why are you using such legendary version?
anywho, the default xmlrpc size limit is 512K.

on current version of rtorrent, network.xmlrpc.size_limit.set =
on your ancient version, set_xmlrpc_size_limit = i believe

Thanks for your reply smiley.gif
I've tested this on my .rtorrent.rc:
Code:
set_xmlrpc_size_limit = 2097152but don't work, my torrent file (920ko) doesn't pass to rtorrent. sad.gif
I just have to restart my rtorrent session with my /etc/init.d/ script?

xmlrpc_size_limit hasn't relation to your problem. Because ruTorrent set it to 67108863 at start.
Check web-server errors log and check file /tmp/errors.log for details.

Try to add a large torrent via ruTorrent by URL. If this will passed - then you have some sort of web-server restriction.

I don't think this is a web-server restriction.
I have this problem since the last update of rutorrent with
Code:
svn up /var/www/rutorrentI just tested at this time on a virtual machine. The upload works fine, but after the update, he is not upladed.
