ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '//rutorrent.frixa.appboxes.co'

Here:

    def set_proxy_settings(self, ltsession, ptype, server=None, auth=None):
        """
        Apply the proxy settings to a libtorrent session. This mechanism changed significantly in libtorrent 1.1.0.
        """
        settings = {}
        settings["proxy_type"] = ptype
        settings["proxy_hostnames"] = True
        settings["proxy_peer_connections"] = True
        if server and server[0] and server[1]:
            settings["proxy_hostname"] = server[0]
            settings["proxy_port"] = int(server[1])  # <-- here

It looks like the user specified an incorrect value for the LibtorrentSettings.proxy_server config option.

The error does not look serious, but instead of a generic ValueError, it is better to raise a specific error that describes the problem to the user so he can fix the configuration settings.
