rtorrent.net website down #580

Open Tonkapug opened 3 years ago

Tonkapug commented 3 years ago

The script cannot complete install of rTorrent. It appears the website to grab the install files no longer exists.

It was reported days ago: https://github.com/arakasi72/rtinst/issues/578#issue-952243299. The rtorrent site was good for a while, but down again due to server cost, I guess.

You can follow the instruction in that post to solve the issue.

As this comment, https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/issues/1101#issuecomment-892376459, I think the script needs a tweak to download the correct version of rtorrent now.

arakasi72 commented 3 years ago

Yes it looks like the rtorrent repository is down permanently and moving forward will need to download from github. The way the script works it is not a matter of simply repointing, so will take a bit of work to resolve, and I am not sure when I will get a chance to do it, hopefully in the next couple of weeks. I may be able to do a quick fix where it downloads and installs latest release only, and add in capability to use different versions at a later date/

In the meantime you can download and install libtorrent/rtorrent manually and run the script and skip rtorrent

Thanks for the quick reply @jerryhou85 @arakasi72

I will wait for an update as I am away for at least another couple of weeks. If no update is available when I return I will follow what you both have suggested.

@arakasi72 Thanks for your work on this install script. I'm a novice, it's a lifsaver!

arakasi72 commented 3 years ago

I will be updating the script over the weekend so it will download and install rtorrent 0.9.8 from Github.

Tonkapug commented 3 years ago

@arakasi72 Thanks for the update

arakasi72 commented 3 years ago

Ok latest release of rtinst v1.8.17 will now install lib/rtorrent 0.13.8/0.9.8

Unfortunately you cannot install any other versions through the script, or use rtupdate to change the version.

If the archive returns I will utilise it to allow version selection, or provide the same functionality using github if/when newer versions come out.

However in the meantime at least is should work.

Run rtsetup to update to the new rtinst release.

I will keep this thread open for now, post any issues you have with the new release here.

Awsome job, thansk for the update :)

1 question, is it possible to disable the ftp install, or make it use pure-ftpd ? because my server is allready running with pure-ftpd.
