rtorrent on low_disk_space.
 

Good time of the day.


I can not configure rtorrent to close on low disk space - it just
closes on start after several seconds. In

~/.rtorrent.rc

I have:

schedule = watch_low_diskspace,300,1200,close_low_diskspace=1

That is it should start after 300 seconds, then check every 1200
seconds - regarding just 1 MB.

How do I do this?! - startpage did not answer me. :o)

Thanks for Your time.


Sthu.

Better to ask similar question on rtorrent list I think. How much free
space do you have when rtorrent stops? I have this line in my
configuration:

schedule = low_diskspace,5,60,close_low_diskspace=500M

and working as intended. I do not see any M at the end of your line.
Might that a problem.

Bye,

OK. I will try unless registration is needed. Otherwise we will wait,
may somebody knows the trick.

I have really low space but:

1. rtorrent prelocates torrents - therefore, torrents can be and really
are downloaded except this check that fight w/ in vain.

2. So it checks for me too as for You - 500 MB limit, from my
experience, i.e. if I have that amount of free space I can continue
downloading - 499 - no.

3. I would like to manage it, nevertheless, for example, to put limit
to 100 MB instead.

I have:
schedule = low_diskspace,5,60,close_low_diskspace=10M

Examples on google.

Does it work for You - meaning if You have 11 MB free space - does it
down load still?

> Examples on google.

Which examples?!

I think you need registration there.

What prelocate means? Preallocate disk space for torrent content?

Just change 500M to 100M. Or 1M if you like. But recommended not to
set it too low because rtorrent checks with a specified interval and
if your system fills your disk faster than free space within the
interval your disk becomes full earlier than next check.

I was tight on space at one stage, and the default was no good for me,
so I added that to my .rtorrent file which solved it.

You need to sharpen your search skills, or do you want me to spend my
time hunting them out? Hint: I found the above line by searching google.

rtorrent on low_disk_space.
 

Good time of the day, Artifex.

I can not find the list! May, You know one?

Here "except this check that fight w/" should be read as "except this
check that *I* fight w/" - missed "I".

> What prelocate means? Preallocate disk space for torrent content?

rtorrent takes disk space before it actually fills it w/ torrent data.
I.e. torrent can be downloaded just 1% while on the disk it is located
for whole 100%. - So, though there is little free space remain, yet the
torrent can be successfully downloaded/uploaded already - but the
amazing (uncontrollable for me) check, prevents that to happen.

Yes, that I know, thank You. But the problem is that it does not work!
- Setting to any lower that 500 MB profits me nothing: it still regards
500 MB limit (default one?) - so, it seems to me either it is a bug
or rtorrent just ignores this my setting, though it gives me no
error, and the other options that are in the same config. file are
read and are in use as I may see.

So, question for now: can You test it? - Setting the above option to
something less than 500 MB and to use torrent w/ a partition (You may
make one w/ tmpfs, say 300-400 MB, just for the test) that has less than
that free space?

Thank You for Your desire to help!

Oh, great! I wonder why it does not work for me now...

So I did too, but what it profits me in case it does not work?! And
more positive search result. Of course I do not wait that You will
search for me, but to share Your experience You easily could if You
would - IMO.

Is the line the same? Did you restart rtorrent?

Version difference. (Although I doubt that is the issue.)

tal% rtorrent -h
Rakshasa's BitTorrent client version 0.9.2.
