hi.
the script saved my time. really appreciated.
so, as i have plenty of time now to test things, i re-install all with these modifications.
nothing important as you did but just to try and it works too so ... i'm just happy right now.

MD5SUM_RUTORRENT_ORIG="ef678b8209e68a036ebf82c7a982aad6"
MD5SUM_PLUGINS_ORIG="b17f17f535c7e86ede404913f6fd3fbb"

and this too, as well :

$WGET http://rutorrent.googlecode.com/files/rutorrent-3.3.tar.gz -O /tmp/rutorrent.tar.gz
$WGET http://rutorrent.googlecode.com/files/plugins-3.3.tar.gz -O /tmp/plugins.tar.gz

and i tried all of this with a fresh install (Ubuntu Server 10.04.2 LTS 64).

i wonder now howto get on my seedbox as before (via ssh).
could it be something you may implement on your script ?

anyway, thanks for your work.

To get on the Cli version simply ssh to the user started with the command /etc/init.d/rtorrentInit.sh
so

ssh user@host
screen -x

You might need to change the password of the user
so

sudo passwd user

in the command prompt

to exit the screen with out killing rtorrent

ctrl a+d

Hi there! I've been using this script for a log time, never had any problem. I had to make some changes on my computer and now I'm having this issue, not a problem per say.

since my HDD is not handling the amount of downloaded data, I had to plug a External USB HDD. No problem doing that, same as Windows (I'm mostly a Windows user). I have changed some folders/directories on rutorrent configuration, rtorrent+rutorrent are still downloading and seeding my files but now I can't use the 'get data' function when I right click a file on a selected torrent from the list. It says 'Web server user can't access the data on this torrent.

I tried changing permission with chown and chmod but I didn't had any success. I have restarted apache service but I keep getting this message, doesn't matter what I do.

Could you help me with that? Giving me the command I should use to effectively change the permissions (what and where)?

Thanks a bunch for this script

Keep !

Well... To tell the truth, I haven't played a lot with rtorrent and rutorrent. I just made this script back then to automate the installation cause I wanted to use it. Other than that I don't have a clue on how rtorrent and rutorrent works

I guess for something like this it would be better if you ask rtorrent forums. The only thing comes to my mind is the disk file system. I guess your external hard drive uses the NTFS filesystem.... I have seen some weird behaviour sometimes with NTFS disks and permissions under Linux.

Yeah, it's NTFS. I'll try hooking up this USB HDD on my Windows computer and see if I can change the permissions somehow.

Thanks for the heads up!
