ruTorrent is based and depends on rTorrent for almost all operations. A significant difference is that ruTorrent brings plugins to the table, resulting in a highly usable, feature-rich, extensible, and powerful torrent application.

Why do you need rTorrent to run ruTorrent? To use ruTorrent, you must have rTorrent installed and running on your system, as ruTorrent connects to and communicates with the rTorrent process in order to manage your torrents. rTorrent provides the underlying functionality for downloading and uploading torrents, while ruTorrent provides a convenient and user-friendly way to access and control that functionality.

You can install rTorrent via pre-compiled packages (which is the easiest way to get started with rTorrent), or you can also look into installing rTorrent from the source (more challenging but better in the long run).

The most straightforward way to install rTorrent client is to use the pre-built package. Since rTorrent v0.7.8 most Linux distributions have compiled rTorrent with xmlrpc-c. So, if you use a relatively modern distribution (in our case, Ubuntu 20.04), installation is as simple as using your favorite package manager.

Why do you need a webserver to run ruTorrent? You need a webserver to run ruTorrent because it is a web-based application. ruTorrent uses a web interface that can be accessed through a browser rather than a standalone application that runs on a computer. In order to access the ruTorrent interface, the web server must be running and configured to serve the ruTorrent files. Additionally, the web server will handle the communication between the browser and the ruTorrent application, allowing users to interact with the application through the web interface.

Note: in this guide, we will install Lighttpd as the web server and configure the RPC plugin. But keep in mind that there are multiple ways to get your web server up and ready for ruTorrent.

There is no native support of ruTorrent on Windows, so you cannot manually install it (using a similar approach as shown previously). Although ruTorrent and rTorrent are natively supported by Linux, there are still a few ways to run them on Windows operating systems.

A workaround to install rTorrent on Windows is using Cygwin. This tool provides similar functionality to a Linux Distro on a Windows platform. Another option is to boot Linux in a Virtual Machine (VM) running on Windows, such as VMWare and VirtualBox.

To install ruTorrent on Docker, you will need to have Docker installed on your system. Once you have Docker installed and configured, you can pull the ruTorrent image from the Docker Hub by running the following command:

Ensure to replace the parameters PUID, PGID, TZ, host_port, , with your own values. Once the container is running, you should be able to access ruTorrent by going to _server_ip:host_port in a web browser.

Similarly to changing the config.php file, access controls are set up by opening and changing the access.ini file. The options in this file aim to limit the access to a user to a specific setting in ruTorrent. By default, all flags are set to yes. So the user has access to all displays, tabs, and settings.

Similarly to the previous file, plugins.ini is a simple file intended to control and configure plugins. All the sections in this file belong to a specific plugin. The [default] section at the bottom will be used if a plugin is missing. To enable a plugin, simply change the value from no to yes.

One of the pros of using ruTorrent is that it can be extended through plugins. To add a plugin, you would simply need to go to this plugin path (/rutorrent/plugins) and download the plugin into this directory.

In this tab, you can find information about the files in torrent data (being downloaded). For instance, you can find the size of that particular file and how much data remains to be downloaded. Also, you will see a priority (if there is one for that specific file).

Generally, there are a few factors for your torrent being too slow; these include your Internet speed (bandwidth), download/upload speed limitations, and the health of the torrent. Some of these factors might be beyond your hands. But still, you can monitor and analyze it to improve the overall ruTorrent speed.

Some processes or applications in your computer might be consuming precious bandwidth. Whether it is a background transfer service, daily backup to the cloud, antivirus automatic updates, or Malware, these consume bandwidth, making your torrent transfers slower.

This ratio may vary, so you may have to return later if you see a low ratio or very few seeders. A quick look into the S/L (Seeders/Leechers) columns might give you a lot of information on the health of the torrent. As shown in the picture below, three torrents have only one seeder, while the other has 59. The one with 59 seeders is much healthier. The higher the number on Seeders, the more chances your torrent download is faster.

Torrent trackers are the main servers that regulate P2P traffic. They keep information about each client using each torrent so that they can speed up the seed discovery process. Trackers connect peers. Unfortunately, sometimes trackers experience downtime and remove torrents if they are older than a year.

Note: Before enabling DHT, remember that most private trackers require you to disable DHT and Peer Exchange. DHT causes stats to be recorded differently, and Peer Exchange would allow external peers to access the torrents. But still, private torrents come with the private flag that, by default, disables DHT and PEX.

A seedbox server is the easiest and best method to improve torrenting speeds. Seedboxes are designed for seeding and improving sharing ratio, so their speeds are already optimized. Seedbox providers are usually located in high-speed data centers where ISPs do not throttle speeds. These servers are built for torrenting, so they come with high performance, speed, and large storage.

If you have already dealt with external factors such as your Internet download/upload speed and speed limitations, some parameters can still be optimized internally. The following commands will help you improve speed and anonymity in your rTorrent server. These commands have all been tested in Ubuntu 22.04.

The following ruTorrent tips and tricks will take your ruTorrent experience to the next level. Whether is to manage RSS via the WebGUI, customize ruTorrent with plugins, directly share files with your friends through the application, or download torrents automatically.

One of the highlights of ruTorrent is its ability to manage RSS via a Web GUI. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication and is a file in XML format used to spread content throughout the web. The following step-by-step guide will show you how to configure ruTorrent to download torrents from RSS feeds.

Automated media downloader tools can help you search, find, and download torrents automatically for your favorite movies, TV shows, music, or books. Most of these tools are also capable of updating your entire media library.

Sonarr is a popular TV series collection manager for BitTorrent and Usenet. It keeps track of multiple torrent RSS feeds, finds new TV series, and connects with your ruTorrent client to download all those movies automatically. All of that without your intervention. Sonarr can also be configured to find better-quality content. It replaces it with the old when it finds higher-quality content. There is also other automation software such as Radarr or Readarr.

There are many other plugins available, each with its own unique features and capabilities. Some plugins may require additional configurations or setup, while others may be ready to use right after activation.

Because of naming conventions, some people think ruTorrent and ruTracker are the same. However, ruTracker is a famous Russian torrent tracker (torrent search indexer), while ruTorrent, is a torrent client and is not related to Russian trackers.

Linux distributions are generally the best choices. For instance, Arch Linux comes with fantastic support and documentation for rTorrent. ArchLinux is an independently developed x86-64 general-purpose Linux distribution. For more information, check rTorrent ArchLinux documentation.

ruTorrent (or rTorrent) is one of the best torrent clients. For instance, when comparing clients like BitTorrent or uTorrent vs. rTorrent, the former is consistently ranked better. The Slant community recommends rTorrent for most users and ranks rTorrent in 7th place. Two reasons why rTorrent is preferred for seedboxes are because it has a GPL license and comes with either CLI or GUI (via ruTorrent).

ruTorrent is supported by OSX, Linux, BSD, and Solaris. Windows do not support it, but a workaround is to use Cygwin to install it. Another way (as mentioned at the beginning of this post) is using Docker containers or VMs within Windows.

Ratio groups are commonly used for seeding torrents with a specified sharing ratio, but you can use them for much more. Ratio groups are based on four conditions: UPLD Min %, UPLD Max %, UPLD in MB, and seeding Hrs. When conditions are satisfied (in some way or another), action can be taken.

The MediaShare plugin for ruTorrent is a file-sharing plugin that allows users to share their files with others by generating a public link to the file. To use it, you would need to install the MediaShare plugin on your ruTorrent installation. This can usually be done through the ruTorrent plugin manager. Once the plugin is installed, navigate to the MediaShare tab in ruTorrent. Select the file or files you want to share by clicking the checkboxes next to them.
