I have been having trouble with rtorrent either not seeding or seeding only a tiny fraction of what other torrent clients do. I have tried both deluge and qbitorrent, and both of them seed more than rtorrent. Does anyone have familiarity with rtorrent or the config to help me understand what settings I am failing to properly adjust? I just tested it overnight again (12 hrs with archlinux December iso), and qbittorrent uploaded 33MiB in the same time that rtorrent had 0.
My rtorrent.rc is pretty much the standard one aside from the tracker-less torrent settings. Here is my rtorrent.rc:
#############################################################################
# A minimal rTorrent configuration that provides the basic features
# you want to have in addition to the built-in defaults.
#
# See https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/wiki/CONFIG-Template
# for an up-to-date version.
#############################################################################
## Instance layout (base paths)
method.insert = cfg.basedir, private|const|string, (cat,"/home/mortimer/rtorrent/")
method.insert = cfg.download, private|const|string, (cat,(cfg.basedir),"download/")
method.insert = cfg.logs, private|const|string, (cat,(cfg.basedir),"log/")
method.insert = cfg.logfile, private|const|string, (cat,(cfg.logs),"rtorrent-",(system.time),".log")
method.insert = cfg.session, private|const|string, (cat,(cfg.basedir),".session/")
method.insert = cfg.watch, private|const|string, (cat,(cfg.basedir),"watch/")
## Create instance directories
execute.throw = sh, -c, (cat,\
"mkdir -p \"",(cfg.download),"\" ",\
"\"",(cfg.logs),"\" ",\
"\"",(cfg.session),"\" ",\
"\"",(cfg.watch),"/load\" ",\
"\"",(cfg.watch),"/start\" ")
## Listening port for incoming peer traffic (fixed; you can also randomize it)
network.port_range.set = 50000-50000
network.port_random.set = no
## Tracker-less torrent and UDP tracker support
## (conservative settings for 'private' trackers, change for 'public')
dht.mode.set = auto
protocol.pex.set = yes
dht.port.set = 6881
trackers.use_udp.set = yes
## Peer settings
throttle.max_uploads.set = 100
throttle.max_uploads.global.set = 250
throttle.min_peers.normal.set = 20
throttle.max_peers.normal.set = 60
throttle.min_peers.seed.set = 30
throttle.max_peers.seed.set = 80
trackers.numwant.set = 80
protocol.encryption.set = allow_incoming,try_outgoing,enable_retry
## Limits for file handle resources, this is optimized for
## an `ulimit` of 1024 (a common default). You MUST leave
## a ceiling of handles reserved for rTorrent's internal needs!
network.http.max_open.set = 50
network.max_open_files.set = 600
network.max_open_sockets.set = 300
## Memory resource usage (increase if you have a large number of items loaded,
## and/or the available resources to spend)
pieces.memory.max.set = 1800M
network.xmlrpc.size_limit.set = 4M
## Basic operational settings (no need to change these)
session.path.set = (cat, (cfg.session))
directory.default.set = (cat, (cfg.download))
log.execute = (cat, (cfg.logs), "execute.log")
#log.xmlrpc = (cat, (cfg.logs), "xmlrpc.log")
execute.nothrow = sh, -c, (cat, "echo >",\
(session.path), "rtorrent.pid", " ",(system.pid))
## Other operational settings (check & adapt)
encoding.add = utf8
system.umask.set = 0027
system.cwd.set = (directory.default)
network.http.dns_cache_timeout.set = 25
schedule2 = monitor_diskspace, 15, 60, ((close_low_diskspace, 1000M))

#keys.layout.set = qwerty
#network.http.capath.set = "/etc/ssl/certs"
#network.http.ssl_verify_peer.set = 0
#network.http.ssl_verify_host.set = 0
## Some additional values and commands
method.insert = system.startup_time, value|const, (system.time)
method.insert = d.data_path, simple,\
"if=(d.is_multi_file),\
(cat, (d.directory), /),\
(cat, (d.directory), /, (d.name))"
method.insert = d.session_file, simple, "cat=(session.path), (d.hash), .torrent"
## Watch directories (add more as you like, but use unique schedule names)
## Add torrent
schedule2 = watch_load, 11, 10, ((load.verbose, (cat, (cfg.watch), "load/*.torrent")))
## Add & download straight away
schedule2 = watch_start, 10, 10, ((load.start_verbose, (cat, (cfg.watch), "start/*.torrent")))
## Run the rTorrent process as a daemon in the background
## (and control via XMLRPC sockets)
#system.daemon.set = true
#network.scgi.open_local = (cat,(session.path),rpc.socket)
#execute.nothrow = chmod,770,(cat,(session.path),rpc.socket)
## Logging:
## Levels = critical error warn notice info debug
## Groups = connection_* dht_* peer_* rpc_* storage_* thread_* tracker_* torrent_*
print = (cat, "Logging to ", (cfg.logfile))
log.open_file = "log", (cfg.logfile)
log.add_output = "info", "log"
#log.add_output = "tracker_debug", "log"
