Rtorrent & Rutorrent rTorrent & ruTorrent A combination of a command line interface bittorrent app and a web client used to connect to it. Information and Overview Initial Setup Information and Overview Please make yourself aware of the Ultra.cc Fair Usage Policy. Directly pointing any torrent client to seed from your cloud storage using Rclone will create extreme strain on your slot's disk and WILL cause a 24 hour ban on accessing your cloud storage repeatedly. It is your responsibility to ensure usage is within acceptable limits. Ignorance is not an excuse. rTorrent is a text-based ncurses BitTorrent client written in C++, based on the libTorrent libraries for Unix, whose author's goal is "a focus on high performance and good code". It is known to be stable and can handle a large number of seeding torrents, making it a solid choice for long-term seeding. ruTorrent is a popular front-end for rTorrent which is used to interact with rTorrent. It was designed to emulate the look and feel of µTorrent WebUI so its appearance is quite similar to the "parent". The name "ruTorrent" is the combination of µTorrent and rtorrent. The original version of ruTorrent was based on an older version of µTorrent Webui but has been completely rewritten as of 3.0.

For more information on rTorrent and ruTorrent, refer to the following links: https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent https://github.com/Novik/ruTorrent 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 your desired password in the textbox Once installed, click Connect under ruTorrent Enter your set credentials Your username is your slot username, and your ruTorrent password Accessing rTorrent CLI Interface Should you need to access rTorrent's CLI interface, type in the following command in SSH: screen -r rtorrent To exit the interface, do CTRL + A + D Default File Paths Default Downloads Folder: ~/files Default Watch Folder: ~/watch rTorrent's config folder: ~/.config/rtorrent Limiting Seeding Ratio with ruTorrent This section will show you how to limit the seeding ratio in ruTorrent so that you can comply with our restrictions on public tracker seeding. Ratio Groups Start off by opening up your settings in ruTorrent and clicking the Ratio Groups option. Fill out the top group (or any other one if you wish) with the following settings and give it a name In this example, this group stops the torrent from seeding over 2 ratio. MinMax UL,MBTIme,hAction % % Any - 200200 Stop Value1 Another here stops all torrents as soon as it finished downloading MinMax UL,MBTIme,hAction % % - 0 0 0 Stop 1 You can choose any action to the torrent after it has reached that requirement. We recommend Stop as the action. This is to stop the torrents from seeding, mark it as completed, and for you to download the files to your PC You can also select Remove to remove the torrent or Remove data to remove the torrent and its associated files. You can also set this to be done by default to all future torrents by using the Default ratio group option in the bottom right of the ratio groups screen Select the number corresponding to the created ratio group. In this case, select 1 and click OK. Please note that setting this will restrict every torrent, in ruTorrent to a 2 ratio. ExtRatio Plugin You can also use ExtRatio to automatically filter and set future torrents to a particular ratio group or throttle group. Installation To install ExtRatio, run the following command on your SSH to install this plugin. For more information about installing plugins, refer to this guide: Installing ruTorrent Plugins cd ~/www/rutorrent/plugins/ && svn checkout https://github.com/Novik/rutorrent/trunk/plugins/extratio && svn checkout https://github.com/Novik/rutorrent/trunk/plugins/throttle && cd ~ Installing ruTorrent Plugins ruTorrent is equipped with most of the plugins any client needs. Should there be a plugin that you need that is not installed, this section will help you learn to install those plugins. To do this, you will need to access the slot via SSH. For more information on that, visit this guide to learn more: How to connect to your slot via SSH Installation To install any plugin, first navigate to ruTorrent's plugin folder by doing the following command cd ~/www/rutorrent/plugins/ Then, visit this link to check the following plugins available. To install the plugin, run the following command `plugin_name` is the name of the plugin you wish to install svn checkout https://github.com/Novik/ruTorrent/trunk/plugins/plugin_name Recommended Plugins throttle cd ~/www/rutorrent/plugins/svn checkout https://github.com/Novik/rutorrent/trunk/plugins/throttle ratiocolor cd www/rutorrent/plugins/svn co https://github.com/Gyran/rutorrent-ratiocolor.git/trunk ratiocolor # To change to colored text only sed -i "s:changeWhat = \"cell-background\";:changeWhat = \"font\";:g" ~/www/rutorrent/plugins/ratiocolor/init.js # To change back to default sed -i "s:changeWhat = \"font\";:changeWhat = \"cell-background\";:g" ~/www/rutorrent/plugins/ratiocolor/init.js There are few plugins that cannot be installed using this, such as mediashare, plowshare, and others. If you want any specific plugin to be installed which cannot be installed by this method, please contact support. ExtRatio Plugin You can also use ExtRatio to automatically filter and set future torrents to a particular ratio group or throttle group. Installation To install ExtRatio, run the following command on your SSH to install this plugin. For more information about installing plugins, refer to this guide: Installing ruTorrent Plugins cd ~/www/rutorrent/plugins/ && svn checkout https://github.com/Novik/rutorrent/trunk/plugins/extratio && svn checkout https://github.com/Novik/rutorrent/trunk/plugins/throttle && cd ~ Automatically Unpack Archives with ruTorrent This section will teach you how to enable auto unpacking of archived files in your seeding torrents. This is useful if you want to use your slot to extract your archived files so you can download only the extracted files and leave the archive seeding, or you need automatic unpacking for Sonarr, Radarr, and Lidarr. Go to Settings -> Unpack Check Enable autounpacking if torrents label matches filter This will enable unpacking on all future torrents. You may also set Unpack to a directory you want within your home folder or leave it blank to extract it in-place/to your torrent's current directory Leaving it blank is useful for DVR apps such as Sonarr, Radarr, and Lidarr. If you want to enable unpacking to specific labels, add the following to the textbox beside Enable auto unpacking if torrents label matches filter /.*(label_1|label_2|label_3).*/i For example, if you want to enable auto unpacking to all torrents from Sonarr, Radarr, and Lidarr /.*(tv-sonarr|radarr|lidarr).*/i Bad response from server: (0 [error,getplugins]) This Error requires your webserver to be reinstalled from your UCP. The reinstall webserver button (Orange button) can be found in your main dashboard next to your traffic quota. You can also do this on your slot's shell by running the following commands: app-nginx uninstall app-nginx install No connection to rTorrent. Check if it is running. Check $ scgi_port and $ scgi_host in config.php and scgi_port in rTorrent config file. This Error means that rTorrent is not running, and it usually needs to be restarted from your UCP or running app-rtorrent restart while connected to your shell. This can happen in a few scenarios: Your allotted disk quota is exceeded, so your session cannot write to your directory. You will need to connect to your service via Shell or FTP, remove unneeded data, and restart rTorrent. You have a bad torrent in your session. You need to restart rTorrent, quickly connect to your ruTorrent, and stop all torrents. Then, start the torrents one by one. Usually, torrents with random letters or a .meta extension in the name are the bad torrents. Once you have found the files, remove them from the client, and try again. Your HDD's IO is extremely saturated. You will need to check this using iostat . Visit this guide here for more information. Error downloading files. Make sure autodl-irssi is started and configured correctly (e.g., password, port number): Error getting files listing: Error: Could not connect: (111) Connection refused Two common reasons why you would receive the Error: The first and most common is irssi is just not running for whatever reason, such as a hard crash or a reboot.

  • TI3800 Bachelorproject
    TI3800 Bachelorproject Android Tor Tribler Tunneling Final Report Authors: Supervisor: Rolf Jagerman Dr. Ir. Johan Pouwelse Laurens Versluis Project coach: Martijn de Vos Ir. Egbert Bouman June 23, 2014 Abstract Tribler is a decentralized peer-to-peer file sharing system. Recently the Tribler development team has introduced anonymous internet communication using a Tor-like protocol in their trial version. The goal of our bachelor project is to port this technology to Android devices. This is a challenging task because cross-compiling the necessary libraries to the ARM CPU architecture is uncharted territory. We have successfully ported all dependencies of Tribler to Android. An application called Android Tor Tribler Tunneling (AT3) has been developed that tests whether these libraries work. This application downloads a test torrent and measures information such as CPU usage and download speed. Based on this information we have concluded that it is currently not viable to run the anonymous tunnels on an Android smartphone. Creating circuits with several hops that use encryption is very computationally expensive and modern smartphones can hardly keep up. By using optimized cryptographic libraries such as gmp or with the recently announced ARMv8 architecture which supports hardware-accelerated AES encryption, creating such circuits might become possible. Preface This document describes the bachelor project we performed at the TU Delft. Without the help of certain people at the TU Delft (and outside), this project would not be possible. In particular, we would like to thank the following people: Johan Pouwelse, for his excellent guidance, deep insights and feedback. The Tribler team, for always being able to help us with problems and questions.

J.A. Pouwelse (supervisor) Delft University of Technology Prof. Dr. Ir. S. Hamdioui Delft University of Technology Dr. Ir. C. Hauff Delft University of Technology Abstract One of the cause of slow download speed in the BitTorrent community is the existence of freeriders. The credit system, as one of the most widely implemented incentive mechanisms, is designed to tackle this issue. However, in some cases, gaining credit efficiently is difficult. Moreover, the supply and demand misalign- ment in swarms can result in performance deficiency. As an answer to this issue, we introduce a credit mining system, an autonomous system to download pieces from selected swarms in order to gain a high upload ratio. Our main work is to develop a credit mining system. Specifically, we focused on an algorithm to invest the credit in swarms. This is composed of two stages: prospecting and mining. In prospecting, swarm information is extensively col- lected and then filtered. In mining, swarms are sorted by their potential and then selected. We also propose a scoring policy as a method to quantify swarms with a numerical score.

  • Установка И Настройка Rtorrent+Rutorrent+Nginx+Php-Fpm В Arch Linux 1 / 9
    УСТАНОВКА И НАСТРОЙКА RTORRENT+RUTORRENT+NGINX+PHP-FPM В ARCH LINUX 1 / 9 Установка и настройка rtorrent+rutorrent+nginx+php-fpm в Arch Linux Предыстория Для работы с торрентами я достаточно долго использовал ktorrent. Сей клиент мои потребности в удобном управлении закачками удовлетворял полностью, пока я не заметил, что на популярных торрентах загрузка процессора доходила до 50% (а с uTP — ещё больше), а потребление памяти в и без того жирном KDE стало неприятно бросаться в глаза. Было решено сменить KDE на xfce (это отдельная история), а программу для торрентов подобрать с хорошим функционалом и удобным управлением. Перепробовав transmission, deluge и rtorrent, я остановлися на последнем. О том, как настроить rtorrent+rutorrent+nginx+php-fpm, и будет под катом. Почему так? Сразу хочу ответить, почему выбраны именно означенные инструменты. Arch Linux. Об этом дистрибутиве можно говорить достаточно долго, мне нравится его организация и философия в целом, и я могу его использовать для себя с максимальной эффективностью. Кому интересно более детально прочитать о нём, смотрите сюда и сюда. nginx. Я впечатлён тем, как эта маленькая штука выполняет свою работу, экономя память, гибко настраиваясь и предоставляя весь необходимый мне функционал. php-fpm. Можно настроить количество рабочих потоков, в связке с nginx даёт Linux для всех УСТАНОВКА И НАСТРОЙКА RTORRENT+RUTORRENT+NGINX+PHP-FPM В ARCH LINUX 2 / 9 замечательную производительность. rtorrent. Малое потребление ресурсов, хорошо настраивается. rutorrent. Активно развивается, имеет приятный интерфейс. Установка необходимого программного обеспечения Будем исходить из того, что Arch Linux на компьютере уже стоит, а пользователь знаком с его пакетной системой. Чтобы установить веб-часть связки, выполняем команду: sudo pacman -S nginx php-fpm rtorrent и librtorrent я рекомендую устанавливать с AUR'а, там есть замечательный PKGBUILD под названием rtorrent-color, делающий скучный консольный интерфейс более приятным (если будете им пользоваться), и libtorrent-extended, имеющий дополнительные патчи.

  • Master's Thesis
    MASTER'S THESIS Analysis of UDP-based Reliable Transport using Network Emulation Andreas Vernersson 2015 Master of Science in Engineering Technology Computer Science and Engineering Luleå University of Technology Department of Computer Science, Electrical and Space Engineering Abstract The TCP protocol is the foundation of the Internet of yesterday and today. In most cases it simply works and is both robust and versatile. However, in recent years there has been a renewed interest in building new reliable transport protocols based on UDP to handle certain problems and situations better, such as head-of-line blocking and IP address changes. The first part of the thesis starts with a study of a few existing reliable UDP-based transport protocols, SCTP which can also be used natively on IP, QUIC and uTP, to see what they can offer and how they work, in terms of features and underlying mechanisms. The second part consists of performance and congestion tests of QUIC and uTP imple- mentations. The emulation framework Mininet was used to perform these tests using controllable network properties. While easy to get started with, a number of issues were found in Mininet that had to be resolved to improve the accuracy of emulation. The tests of QUIC have shown performance improvements since a similar test in 2013 by Connectify, while new tests have identified specific areas that might require further analysis such as QUIC’s fairness to TCP and performance impact of delay jitter. The tests of two different uTP implementations have shown that they are very similar, but also a few differences such as slow-start growth and back-off handling.
