How to get auto-tools working properly

ditto....not a huge deal, but would love a solutionOk, but i've changed back to rtorrents watchdir as i don't like the fact that download stat is "lost" when it changes from download to seeding. This is the way skipping the hashcheck works. Make a new torrent with fastresume, but download/upload stats on trackers are "lost". And by that i mean you're seeding but you havn't downloaded anything. Så using tracker to see tratio pr. torrent is impossible.
directories are setup like this
download folder: home/rtor/torrents
move to folder: home/ftpaccess/completed
once completed the tracker reports 0mb dl/0mb ul
thanks in advance for any help
this doesn't make sense. If the tracker loses stats, that's the trackers fault, not rutorrent.ditto....not a huge deal, but would love a solution

On the otherhand, rutorrent might report incorrectly, but again, that has NOTHING to do with the tracker.
maybe I didn't word it properly
overall stats are fine but the current stats are not once the files are moved:
in the above examples I've been seeding for some time so it does show how much has uploaded, but as you can see it shows nothing downloaded
I've tried it without utilizing auto-move and the currents stats are always right on

all i'm saying is this:
If the stats get f'd up, it's on the tracker. not on rutorrent.
moving a file, stopping it and restarting it does not do anything to your "real" stats.
If you are seeing something else, it is a tracker issue. I use this exact plugin on EVERY torrent, on every tracker and it's NEVER caused a problem.
also, it's important to note that, technically, the stats you are showing are a net GAIN on your side, not a loss.
I think you're really just upset over what boils down to be a cosmetic issue.
but your "total" stats should be correct. If not, then your tracker is 100% totally fucked.

I'm not upset at all
just wondering if I have setup everything correctly and this is a normal situation
I understand that my overall stats are cool
I realize they are 2 completely different programs but Utorrent kept the current stats up to date, even when the file moved
no disrespect intended....just trying to learn

again, i'm not mad either, let me see if i can explain it better.
rutorrent is not a torrent client AT ALL
it's simply a web front end for rtorrent. A lot of the fancy features are either addons or tricks of code. "auto-tools" uses one of these tricks. basically, what autotools does is this:
you download the file, it pauses the torrent, it moves the data, and then edits the torrent and restarts it.
Because of this "stop/start" your tracker (if it's not smart) will register you as doing this:
download a file to 100% (add this to your total)
stop the torrent
then add the torrent back (resetting your total for the TORRENT, but not for your OVERALL score)
seed -> ratio shows as INF but, since the tracker kept track of the original bits, your overall ratio = exactly the same.
It's the TRACKERS error, for not being able to keep track.
and again, it's important for you to understand, IF ANYTHING IS WRONG, ITS AT THE TRACKER.
some trackers show 2 stats.
your overall ratio
and stats per torrent.
the problem is, some trackers are "dumb" in that, they show the "current stats for the torrent" based on whatever the most current stats are, not the cumlative stats.....so, for instance, if you start downloading, stop halfway, start again, stop at 99% then start again
your overall ratio will be right, but your "per torrent" listing will be only from the point it last started, to the current, in this case 1% download : N SEED
understand?
It's the tracker, but it's 100% cosmetic, as your overall stats are FINE

what you are saying is that once a file is in the process of moving from the downloaded directory to the completed directory the tracker thinks the torrent has stopped and your current (not overall) stats start again from the time seeding starts and this is a tracker issue, not a rtorrent/libtorrent/rutorrent issue or the way I have setup my directories
thanks for the feedback

exactly. The only reason you don't see the EXACT same issue with utorrent, is utorrent has special code to keep the torrent from every "stopping"
as far as the tracker is concerned, it's the same "connection"
unfortunately, this is going to be difficult with rtorrent, but ultimately it's not even an rtorrent problem, it's a problem in tracker reporting.
The tracker code should be smart enough to keep track of each torrent, unfortunately, in the situation you are seeing, the tracker isn't.

dude, there is nothing to "come up with"Thx for explaining this
I am still hoping for you to come up with something though
It's not OUR PROBLEM
IT's not even a REAL ISSUE.
It's purely cosmetic, if you want someone to work on something, complain to the BROKEN ASS TRACKERS
I have all of the autotools enabled and configured but it is not picking up any of the torrent files I have.

Thanks A Million,
I commented out the line:

and now all works as planned!!
Hi, and thx for you posts, It helped me a lot to set up auto-tools.
I got two issues :
1) It takes several minutes to start a torrent after I copy the .torrent in my watch directory. Is it normal ? Can I make it start faster ?
2) When the torrent starts, the .torrent disappear from the watch directory. I dont want this to happen. Where is the .torrent moved to ? Can I change something about that ?
Thank you in advance for your answers.

Thank you in advance for your answers.
The first one i can help with, the second one i can't.
if you check in the plugins/autotools/conf.php you will see the autowatch options.
you can change the default to anything, i believe it's at 300 seconds by default
Unfortunately, the guy who wrote auto-tools hasn't updated it and is sort of missing in action, so the second thing isn't possible to have fixed.
novik has said he may re-write auto-tools at some point, but this would be the only way i see your second question being address (outside of you doing it yourself)
Wonslung;
Does "Unpack" work first or does AutoMove (from AutoTools) work first in the process?
I'm wondering because I'll have partially unpacked media in my final "completed media" folder.
Just wondering what the issue could be.
Also where are logs for these plugins' actions typically sent to in a normal linux (ubuntu server in this case) installation? I used brock's install script too if that helps with the troubleshooting.
Thanks much!
