Create rtorrent directories propelly

replace <username> with your actual user name:

sudo mkdir /home/<username>
sudo mkdir /home/<username>/downloads
sudo mkdir /home/<username>/downloads/watch
sudo mkdir /home/<username>/downloads/.session

And give the permissions:

sudo chown -R <username>:<username> /home/<username>/downloads
