Initial Setup and Configuration

Initial Setup

rTorrent/ruTorrent is already configured and tuned out of the box. To Install:

Install it from our Control Panel
- Install rTorrent first before installing ruTorrent
For ruTorrent, add in you desired password in the textbox
Once installed, click Connect under ruTorrent
Enter your set credentials
- Your username being your seedbox username and your ruTorrent password

Default Downloads Folder: ~/files

Deluge's config folder: ~/.config/rtorrent

Then you'll have access to the following settings. Most are now configured and tuned by us so you don't need to tweak some of these settings further. Below listed are some of the pane that are relevant to you.

Here you can see the bandwidth settings set in rTorrent
- We recommend not to touch these values
In here you can also find Default directory for downloads. This shows the default downloads folder of rTorrent. You can change this to any other folder within your home folder
- You may use the tilde (~) or getting your full home path by doing echo $HOME on SSH

Here, you can enable additional BitTorrent Features such as DHT and Peer Exchange
- This is useful if you want more peers for public trackers
Here, you can also find the IP/Hostname to report to tracker
- When rTorrent/ruTorrent is installed, it'll pick automatically from a pool of random IP addresses.
- This is to ensure that there are not much users in the same IP address at any given time
- Should the tracker in question needed the IP address for whitelisting, you should give the this address and not the seedbox address
  - - You should make changes to this field. Only copy the IP address.
