Removing "Settings" and few other questions on adding users

[somus1735]

Hello,

I'm new to this. Currrently running Ubuntu and I followed the guide here : http://forums.rutorrent.org/index.php?topic=608.0 which worked flawlessly.

I have a few questions.

1. Since I am going to distribute the usage equally to a few users, I would like to restrict the "settings" button. I want to allow each users to download only 5 torrents at a time. If the "Settings" button is present, they may override my initial settings and might cause the server to hang, if they were to add a large number of torrents to be downloaded. How do i go about in doing this?

2. How do I add users to Rutorrent other than to rerun the script again?

3. How do I limit the size of the hard disk space for download for each user? For example, User A can download a maximum of 10GB and then he will be stopped from downloading unless he deletes his files. User B can download up to 25GB before he has to delete his files to download again?

4. How do i delete an existing user, including all of his files and ftp access?

I think this would be my questions for now.

1. Create / modify the users access.ini (/<webroot>/rutorrent/conf/users/<username>/access.ini):
[settings]
showDownloadsPage = no
showConnectionPage = no
showBittorentPage = no
showAdvancedPage = no

2. Manually (see wiki) or create extra users on initial setup

3. Either create partitions and set each users topDirectory to the mount point or message Wonslung and ask about the Quotaspace plugin

4. Delete /<webroot>/rutorrent/conf/users/<username>, userdel <username>, and remove usernameassword from your webservers http authentication file
