My problem after upgrading from rutorrent 3.2 to 3.5 is that my feeds aren't updating automatically. If i go into web-ui to update the feed all matches to stuff in rss-manager gets downloaded, so the loading and matching obviuosly works. The countdown-timer in web-ui for updating rss also works.

Versions:
Rutorrent + plugins: 3.5 (tar.gz not svn)
rtorrent: 0.9.2/0.13.2

Plugins used:
_getdir
_task
autotools
cookies
cpuload
diskspace
erasedata
httprpc
ratio
rss
scheduler
screenshots
seedingtime
tracklabels
trafic
unpack

Solution so you wont have to read entire thread:
file-permissions was not set permissive enough. User running rtorrent needed write-permission to [rutorrent-root]/share/users/[username]/settings/rss and subdir cache​

had it set to 1 min before, now it waits for 30 mins.
theres no config.php anymore where "$updateInterval = 30; // in minutes" was.
there is a conf.php with a "$minInterval = 30; // in minutes" line, can we change this?

but no fetching of feeds is done when 0 is reached.
1) This is a decoration. Counter works very approximately.
2) Does your feeds works *without* interface? E.g. when your load rutorrent - is you see your feeds in up-to-date state?

  • Ok, no problem
  • Short version: no.
    Longer version: If I right-click and choose "Update Feed", it will update the feed(s) from source.
    I have update interval set to 10 minutes. If I select the feed after longer time than that, only same data as downloaded from manual update is visible. The only way to get feed data up-to-date (even hours or days after manual update) is to once again right-click and "Update Feed".

rtorrent user must have ability to write to share/settings/rss (or share/users/USERNAME/settings/rss). Check this.

Thanks, that and also adding w to cache subdir for user running rtorrent seems to have solved it.
