Hey guys,
I was in the rtorrent IRC and they recommended I post here for assistance. I just setup rTorrent + ruTorrent on my server and, for the most part, it looks like things are great with one exception: ruTorrent is not holding/reading settings for the listen port. First, let me post my rtorrent.rc:
Code:
# This is an example resource file for rTorrent. Copy to
# ~/.rtorrent.rc and enable/modify the options as needed. Remember to
# uncomment the options you wish to enable.
#
# Based on original .rtorrent.rc file from http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/
# Modified by Lemonberry for rtGui http://rtgui.googlecode.com/
#
# This assumes the following directory structure:
#
# /Torrents/Downloading - temporaray location for torrents while downloading (see "directory")
# /Torrents/Complete - Torrents are moved here when complete (see "on_finished")
# /Torrents/TorrentFiles/Auto - The 'autoload' directory for rtorrent to use. Place a file
# in here, and rtorrent loads it #automatically. (see "schedule = watch_directory")
# /Torrents/Downloading/rtorrent.session - for storing rtorrent session information
#
# Maximum and minimum number of peers to connect to per torrent.
#min_peers = 40
max_peers = 100
# Same as above but for seeding completed torrents (-1 = same as downloading)
min_peers_seed = -1
max_peers_seed = -1
# Maximum number of simultanious uploads per torrent.
max_uploads = 50
# Global upload and download rate in KiB. "0" for unlimited.
download_rate = 0
upload_rate = 0
# Default directory to save the downloaded torrents.
directory = /media/Mimir_Public/Incomplete
# Default session directory. Make sure you don't run multiple instance
# of rtorrent using the same session directory. Perhaps using a
# relative path?
session = /home/nick/.session
# Watch a directory for new torrents, and stop those that have been
# deleted.
schedule = watch_directory,5,5,load_start=/media/Mimir_Public/DL
schedule = untied_directory,5,5,stop_untied=
# Close torrents when diskspace is low. */
schedule = low_diskspace,5,60,close_low_diskspace=100M
# Stop torrents when reaching upload ratio in percent,
# when also reaching total upload in bytes, or when
# reaching final upload ratio in percent.
# example: stop at ratio 2.0 with at least 200 MB uploaded, or else ratio 20.0
#schedule = ratio,60,60,stop_on_ratio=100,200M,2000
# When the torrent finishes, it executes "mv -n <base_path> ~/Download/"
# and then sets the destination directory to "~/Download/". (0.7.7+)
on_finished = move_complete,"execute=mv,-u,$d.get_base_path=,/media/Mimir_Public/Complete/ ;d.set_directory=/media/Mimir_Public/Complete/"
# The ip address reported to the tracker.
#ip = 127.0.0.1
#ip = rakshasa.no
# The ip address the listening socket and outgoing connections is
# bound to.
#bind = 127.0.0.1
#bind = rakshasa.no
# Port range to use for listening.
port_range = 55995-56000
# Start opening ports at a random position within the port range.
port_random = yes
scgi_port = 127.0.0.1:10100
# Check hash for finished torrents. Might be usefull until the bug is
# fixed that causes lack of diskspace not to be properly reported.
#check_hash = no
# Set whetever the client should try to connect to UDP trackers.
#use_udp_trackers = no
# Alternative calls to bind and ip that should handle dynamic ip's.
#schedule = ip_tick,0,1800,ip=rakshasa
#schedule = bind_tick,0,1800,bind=rakshasa
# Encryption options, set to none (default) or any combination of the following:
# allow_incoming, try_outgoing, require, require_RC4, enable_retry, prefer_plaintext
#
# The example value allows incoming encrypted connections, starts unencrypted
# outgoing connections but retries with encryption if they fail, preferring
# plaintext to RC4 encryption after the encrypted handshake
#
encryption = allow_incoming,enable_retry,prefer_plaintext
# Enable DHT support for trackerless torrents or when all trackers are down.
# May be set to "disable" (completely disable DHT), "off" (do not start DHT),
# "auto" (start and stop DHT as needed), or "on" (start DHT immediately).
# The default is "off". For DHT to work, a session directory must be defined.
#
dht = auto
# UDP port to use for DHT.
#
dht_port = 6881
# Enable peer exchange (for torrents not marked private)
#
peer_exchange = no
#
# Do not modify the following parameters unless you know what you're doing.
#
# Example of scheduling commands: Switch between two ip's every 5
# seconds.
#schedule = "ip_tick1,5,10,ip=torretta"
#schedule = "ip_tick2,10,10,ip=lampedusa"
# Remove a scheduled event.
#schedule_remove = "ip_tick1"
You can see here that I have it using the port range of 55995-56000, which I have forwarded in my router. However, ruTorrent is defaulting to 55995-65535, as seen here:
if I manually change it to 55995-56000 and restart the server the setting reverts back to 55995-65535. If I set it to not randomize the port then set it to 55995 and reboot the server, the same thing happens. I have a feeling this is in a config file somewhere that I am missing, but at this point I am at a loss as to where this could be. TIA for the help!
