Same issue here. I'm attaching the file .ntorrent/log/ntorrent.0 -
.ntorrent/log/ntorrent is empty.

well i see you have two issues. the first is that your using an old version of
xmlrpc-c on the server side.

Caused by: redstone.xmlrpc.XmlRpcFault: Unsupported XMLRPC dialect selected.

the other is that you are using the apple skin which is not serializable, 
therefore
cannot save profile settings.

ATTENTION: writing aborted; java.io.NotSerializableException: 
apple.laf.CoreUIControl

read the installation guide and get the correct xmlrpc-c version for rtorrent. 
and
for the profile settings bug you will have to set the skin to the default java 
metal
skin. if you wish to save profile settings instead of typing them in each time 
you
start the application.

Thanks for the reply on both problems. It would be nice if you can add an error
message like "Rtorrent seems to be built with a too old xmlrpc-c. Maybe you 
should
rebuild it with a newer xmlrpc-c?", and "Profile can't be saved with aqua skin.
Please chose a different one.". It would make the life of the user a bit easier 
:-)

the reason for these empty error messages is because im not throwing my own 
custom
made exceptions with clarifying error messages. Why im not throwing my own is 
just to
keep the code clean at the moment. You can expect more thorough error messages 
when
nTorrent gets to version 1.0
