I didn't enable udp trackers. I will update the installer. Edit your .rtorrent.rc and uncomment the udp line so it says use_udp_trackers = yes.

You may also want to enable other public-tracker options, such as dht, peer_exchange. Just remove the '#' from the beginning of the line to uncomment it, eg.

Code:
...
use_udp_trackers = yes
dht = auto
dht_port = 6881
peer_exchange = yes
...

Then restart rtorrent:

service autodl_yourname restart

EDIT:
The installation script requires root privileges, but the ruTorrent user should not be the root user. You used the root user when the installation script asked which user should use ruTorrent. You should've used a normal user.
