@crazy-max More ground breaking improvements to rTorrent. Please tag a new release after merging this version. It will have a significant impact for everyone using this docker container.

  1. Users no longer need to disable the throttle plugin on ruTorrent. It can operate without limits now.
  2. The CPU usage when downloading files is significantly reduced. A 50% higher download ceiling is expected.
