Bad response from server: (500 [error,getalltrackers])

[lisas4567]

So I set up rtorrent and rutorrent the other day, and everything works fine, except that torrents have no entry under the tracker column

I'm running ubuntu 10.04.4, libtorrent 0.13.2 and rtorrent 0.9.2 (apache 2.2.14)

The trackers appear after you select the torrent row, but I really don't want to to do this for 4k torrents, and the tracker info disappears when you close the web page

On initial load


When you click one row the tracker column entry appears and it appears under Trackers on the left


The blank tracker problem is present in both the http and https pages, but when I load the http page there is no 500 error in the log

HTTPS
Code:
[13.06.2012 13:18:41] WebUI started.
[13.06.2012 13:19:12] Bad response from server: (500 [error,getalltrackers]) Link to XMLRPC failed. May be, rTorrent is down?
This error always appears about 30 seconds after the webui is started on the HTTPS page

HTTP
Code:
[13.06.2012 13:18:29] WebUI started.
[13.06.2012 13:19:17] The request to rTorrent has timed out.
When I load the HTTP page, there is always an rTorrent time out message about 30-40 seconds after the webui starts, and then it works fine (except for the tracker thing)

1) In theory you can try to use plugin 'httprpc'. If you doesn't use it yet.
2) If you *really* want to manage 4K torrents, you must use rtorrent console instead ruTorrent. rTorrent XMLRPC API isn't designed for operate with such large number of torrents.

As saroos1 said, ~4000 is too much for the ui to handle in a responsive manner. Once I hit ~1000 I set up a new instance of rTorrent and create a new ruTorrent user to keep things running smoothly.

Thanks for the replies

I tried using httprpc, but no torrents were displayed in the web ui and it printed the error
Code:
Bad response from server: (500 [error,list])every 2 minutes

Whats odd is the web ui is very responsive and fast for most tasks, even with 4k torrents. It just doesn't show the trackers

Yet once:
rTorrent XMLRPC API isn't designed for operate with such large number of torrents.
ruTorrent webui will'nt correctly work with such large number of torrents.
I must to say something else? Don't know - what, sorry...

I have the same problem, though i only have 3200 torrents but I assume same reason it does not work, due to not being designed to work with high amounts. but as subtext indicates all works fine, all is very fast only torrenttracker labels don't show up unless clicked one by one.
i would use the cli interface but i want to be able to sort according to trackers which you can't do in the cli, i don't care about any other functionality but the tracker sorting is really important, is there not a different work around to make them displayed (besides running multiple rtorrent instances or rtorrent-pyro or anything?) is the bottleneck not just some timeout, there should be a way to adjust it?
