4 years ago You have opened an issue and given the content of it, this is not relevant to the installation script rtinst. Since this is your first time posting on Github, I'll answer you questions. However, look elsewhere for further support.
When I first started using the script, i had never used rtorrent, so having to edit rtorrent.rc config to permanently edit settings came as a surprise to me.
This is common for rTorrent and it has always been one of the reasons for why the majority of people use other more simpler solutions such as Transmission, Deluge etc.
However I have noticed that changing line 40 in rtorrent.rc called: dht.mode.set = disable to enable causes the error WARNING: Unable to start rtorrent When attempting to restart rtorrent using rt restart or rt start. Reverting it back to disable allows me to start rtorrent again using rt start or rt restart.
You can't set variables to unknown/illegeal values. In the case of dht.mode.set, to enable it, you have to set it to auto and not enable/true (Using DHT).
Furthermore I've tried to edit line 22 called throttle.global_down.max_rate.set = 0 to something like 5000, but after a restart it doesn't seem to recognize this line in rutorrent at all, sometimes it puts in the number: 327625 other times it will just say 4.
I suggest that you read up on these things before changing variables. More information over at rTorrent Wiki where the following might be of interest: Performance Tuning
As we don't provide support over here given it is an installation script, I'm closing the issue.
Hey, I've used the script on my raspberry with somewhat great success. However I've come across a few issues.

I've noticed issue #328 mention this as well.

I hope my explanations makes sense, this is my first time posting on github.
