Notice the hash checking option too. Tweak it properly.

The next performance tuning is reducing the number of connected peers/seeds. Reasons being that the seedbox CPU and available RAM is not that powerful enough to handle many connections. Dont worry about the reduced numbers of peer, after all the server is running on 1Gbit line. It wont reduce the torrent downloading speed of seedbox server.

You can find it at rTorrent Settings-->Downloads ;
Limit upload slots to 25 or 50,
Set min/max number of peers to 50 or 80,
Change min/max numbers of peers for seeding to 1 (dont want to waste too much bandwidth/cpu resources on seeding torrent with many peers and seeds around)
Change wished numbers of peers to 50 or 80.

If possible, I dont recommend users to run 'check hash after download' because it affects the HDD I/O. The torrent application already run its hash check on the file pieces when the file is being downloaded. So, there is no worry about data corruption.

Oh ya, at 'General' of rtorrent settings, increase the value of "Update GUI every" to 5 or 10 seconds. Dont wanna hammer the server for refresh too often.

Seedbox admin might need to edit .rtorrent.rc directly in case if GUI settings have issue of retaining/saving the modified settings. (It seem like all settings will revert to default after reboot even though user already saved it by using the GUI)


1:10PM = rutorrent is running fine, longer time for uptime than yesterday ^.^
By the way, the HDD I/O is constantly at 100% =.=""

how the private seedbox go? pm me the info please. mcam berminat

already pm you

eh eh....From economic point of view, I recommend you to set a minimum donation.

Think of how many public oriented company struggle to survive (except company in guise of Government)

Think of all those welfare based society at Western nations who in deep trouble because of this kind of mentality.

EDIT: log off feature has a issue :

[16.02.2012 14:04:45] JS error: [http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/rutorrent/js/jquery.js : 16] A security problem occurred.

So far, the rutorrent is running very well. How is the test of setting the network buffer?

Btw, I have been checking the public and private seedbox for quite a while now. Why private seedbox CPU usage is higher than public seedbox?

someone naughty dl so many porn

minimum donation amount only apply private seedbox login. for public seedbox, no min and max i do this because i also consider current economy situation. if we put the limit too high, people complain say no money. if we put limit too low cannot also, people will complain also.

so, better if i dont set any limit for it. but bear in mind, if we dont have enough donation to pay next month invoice, we have to tutup kedai liao

So...the one I'm in is public or private? If private, what is the min donation amount?

i vote rm10

You didnt answer my original question though.

yes, you in private non-profit seedbox service

Then, I vote for RM30

hahaha... can always tumpang sekaki when it finish...

later belum sempat download, dah kena delete

ok. got ur PM. but what i means is the private seedbox. i dont think so this public seedbox gonna stay long. LOL

what is this private seedbox? whats the advantage to it?

we pay for it. so no traffic jammed, people easily deleted ur file etc. just a maybe for me. i also not really clear bout it

1. you got your own login info
2. ssh access
3. no one can see/download/delete your file except by your self

so its still share with the public one? thats means if public KO so the private pun KO juga?

its on different service, but if you refer to the donation, when yes. if not enough donation, then both seedbox will KO again
