yeah svn://canbruixa.homelinux.net/repos/trunk/wtorrent/ is down but just only because they moved it to svn://wtorrent-project.org/repos/trunk/wtorrent/

Great article, thanks.

I dont suppose there’s any chance of you uploading wtorrent temporarily as their svn and download site is down?

It seems something wrong with last svn rTorrent/libTorrent, because rTorrent installed via aptitude works well. Any suggestions?

Hi there.
I’ve got a little problem.. rTorrent won’t connect to tracker. tcpdump show no packets transer to tracker at all. rTorrent GUI just ’says’ “Connecting to …”. I’ve waited approx. 10 minutes and nothing changes. iptables allows all incoming/outgoing connections. netstat shows rTorrent listens for udp/tcp port 6881. What may be wrong?

I have read through all the comments and I have the problem of lighttpd error log:

2008-09-28 00:31:36: (mod_fastcgi.c.2534) FastCGI-stderr: XML-RPC: xmlrpcmsg::parseResponse: HTTP error, got response: HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized

I say above where someone said installing util-linux solved it, but I have the latest version and still have the issue. Does anyone know what to do?

great guide but when i run make in trunk/rtorrent i get

curl_stack.cc: In constructor ‘core::CurlStack::CurlStack()’:
curl_stack.cc:58: error: ‘CURLMOPT_TIMERDATA’ was not declared in this scope

according to http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ticket/1462 , i have to upgrade my libcurl, but i have 7.15.5-1etch1 , as the guide suggests, from etch. upgrading this would mean upgrading my whole system (too many programs) so i wont do that.

there seems to be a problem in your home.conf.php

it says:
define( ‘DIR_DOWNLOAD’, ‘/home/rt/doing’);

however, the correct path is /home/rt/torrents/doing
therefor config should look like:

define( ‘DIR_DOWNLOAD’, ‘/home/rt/torrents/doing’);

this should get rid of this error message:

Warning: disk_total_space() [function.disk-total-space]: No such file or directory in /var/www/cls/rtorrent.cls.php on line 342

Well, I’ve fixed my above problem - see http://www.wtorrent-project.org/trac/ticket/162 for details.

I’m now having the same issues as Shadowtester, Alneven and Travis. wTorrent doesn’t seem to be able to talk to rTorrent. After entering username/password and logging in, it hangs for a few minutes, then I get this:

Warning: disk_total_space() [function.disk-total-space]: No such file or directory in /var/www/cls/rtorrent.cls.php on line 342

…

Error: could not connect to rtorrent

I’ve confirmed that rTorrent is listening on the right port:

# netstat -lnp

Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:5000 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 30318/rtorrent

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:63963 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 30318/rtorrent

Anyone figured this one out? I’d love to get wTorrent working.

Probably should have said which login prompt… the wTorrent login prompt
