new rtorrent (& rutorrent)

The 0.9.7 rtorrent arrived today in the Arch repos. After upgrading, I had to change the "peer_exchange = yes" line to "protocol.pex.set = yes" before it would launch, but it seemed to work otherwise.

What DIDN'T work is connecting to rutorrent. rutorrent reported that it couldn't find a running rtorrent instance. Do I need to wait for new version of rutorrent?  Or does anyone know a fix/workaround to get rutorrent working with the latest version of rtorrent?

Re: new rtorrent (& rutorrent)

I had the same problem. I think I fixed it by replacing "scgi_port = localhost:5000" by "network.scgi.open_port = 127.0.0.1:5000". Some commands have changed but trigger no error when launching rtorrent...

It depends on your own configuration, there's a dedicated upstream wiki page here: https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/wi … ration-0.9. For example, I have several watch directories as described in the Arch wiki, and I had to make a few replacements (d.get_custom1 -> d.custom1, etc).

@barsanuphe: I've got 0.13.7 mostly working with rutorrent. The one thing which doesn't seem to be working is being able to browse local directories via rutorrent. Say when I'm moving torrents or the like the directory popup with the '...' button - that button used to display directories which then could be navigated, but it no longer shows anything. Any idea about that?

Re: new rtorrent (& rutorrent)

I also had the same problem with the exact same error. I tried to debug the configuration, as 0.9.7 breaks compatibility with old command scheme, and I made quite a lot changes but still had the same message. I had to revert to older version.

However on my rtorrent config file I had "network.scgi.open_port = locahost:5000" while on my rutorrent one was "$scgi_host = "127.0.0.1"". Then I changed the former to "network.scgi.open_port = 127.0.0.1:5000" and that was it, it worked. The I tried the opposite. Reverted rtorrent config to original and changed rutorrent's to "localhost". It worked also.

Perhaps that would save people with the same problem some time. Note that I am using httprpc plugin.

And another thing is I have no problem with navigating folders within rutorrent.
