Hi,

when I wanted to refresh rutorrent webUI I got the message (bad link to rtorrent. Ceheck if it is really running)

I can't find rtorrent through ps -A.

When I want to start rtorrent I get this:

Code:
rtorrent: Could not lock session directory: "/home/downloads/rtor/.session/", held by xxxx
Apparently the solution for this is to remove the rtorrent.lock file by doing:
Code:
cd ~/.rtorrent_session/
rm -f rtorrent.lock
However, I can't find the .rtorrent_session file. I used wonslung's guide to install everything. Can anyone point me to the rtorrent_session file? Thanks.
