using rtorrent 0.8.7 with rutorrent

[shwetha17]

Hi All,

I have noticed that this month rtorrent 0.8.8 is out:
rtorrent-0.8.8.tar.gz 09-May-2011 14:16 555K

Do you know when the more updated versions of rtorrent 0.8.7 or 0.8.8 will be supported with rutorrent?

Thanks.

ruTorrent v 3.2 doesn't support unstable version of rTorrent 0.8.7. Only revision 1189 and next are supported.

If you use lastest svn, it should work...

Excellent, i do use the latest SVN versions of rutorrent. Do you know if this will work with rtorrent.0.8.8?

Does anyone have the latest SVN of rutorrent working with rtorrent 0.8.7 or 0.8.8?

Thanks

Last svn version of ruTorrent (and, i guess, stable version 3.2) must work with rtorrent.0.8.8. But some features (manual tracker's update, files download strategy) will work with SVN version of rTorrent only. E.q. corresponding menu items are available for 0.8.8, but correctly works for SVN version of rTorrent only.

Thanks for the reply somus,

So just to be sure, if i am using the latest SVN of ruTorrent, i should be able to use the latest version of rtorrent 0.8.8 (tar version from the official rtorrent website)? Or do i have to use the latest version of SVN ruTorrent with the latest SVN rTorrent version?

Thanks

Try to read my previous posting yet once. Any case. But some features will'nt work in first of its.

Ok thanks

I remember you guys saying a while ago that ruTorrent will not work with the unstable branch of rTorrent or is not recommended for use. Is this the case with rTorrent 0.8.8? is it not recommended to be run with the latest svn of ruTorrent? should we be staying with the more proven rTorrent 0.8.6?

Thanks.

Err... May be, you can't understand me? I write already third post with some info. I will try to talk "on fingers":

ruTorrent 3.2 + rTorrent 0.8.6 = good
ruTorrent 3.2 + rTorrent 0.8.7 = bad
ruTorrent 3.2 + rTorrent 0.8.8 = good, but some minor errors may be present.
ruTorrent 3.2 + rTorrent SVN = good, but some minor errors may be present.

ruTorrent SVN + rTorrent 0.8.6 = good
ruTorrent SVN + rTorrent 0.8.7 = bad
ruTorrent SVN + rTorrent 0.8.8 = good, some commands for new features are present, but not worked correctly
ruTorrent SVN + rTorrent SVN = good
