rTorrent.rc

Configuration

I will only be covering the most important stuff in this section.. but you can still expand my whole config file below.

Name	Value	Reason
network.port_range.set	62000-62000	This is not mandatory. But I wanted to set a static port because I have Uptime Kuma consistently pinging this port to see if rTorrent is up. In the event rTorrent crashes, Uptime Kuma will notify me.
network.port_random.set	no	Same reason as above
directory.default.set	/home/USERNAME/downloads/rtorrent/seeding	This is the folder I want my files to be moved to once completed Note: This is NOT the Hard Link location we will be setting later. So you need to ensure those two locations are different.

Also note

• number of peers - global slots
• per torrent connection maximums, in progress
• per torrent connection maximums, seeding
• per torrent active downloads/uploads

I changed the values under those catagories to be huge. You may need to set yours lower. But since my box is ONLY seeding torrents, I wanted to make sure it was doing just that.

This again, is dependant on your seedbox. Mine was in home/.config/rtorrent/rtorrent.rc
