Make rtorrent stop seeding when the torrent file is removed.

Hello!

I would like to have rtorrent to stop seeding/downloading a file when I remove the torrent file from the watch directory.

Now does my .rtorrent.rc file watch section look like this.

# Watch a directory for new torrents, and stop those that have been
# deleted.
schedule = watch_directory,5,5,load_start=/home/orjanp/.torrent/watch/*.torrent
schedule = untied_directory,5,5,stop_untied=

If I add a new torrent to the directory it is downloaded. But if I remove a torrent when it is finished downloading, the seeding don't stop. Why?

i don't use the functionality your describing, but from the rtorrent website, it looks like you might need to change the "stop_untied" at the end of the second line to "close_untied"?
