This service file has no restart because the author occasionally takes the drive in question offline, and rtorrent fails, shall we say, "suboptimally" when started in this scenario and loses many torrent specific settings such as the specific directories each torrent is stored in. In fact the symlinks that kick off rtorrent live on the relevant drive; if it is unmounted rtorrent cannot start.

This lets us run several instances and kill each one independently with a different version of the ExecStop, to wit:. Without this step, when running multiple instances a killall solution would kill all the running rtorrent instances.

If multiple rtorrent instances are not needed and the rtorrent rc file is in the default location the above service file may be simplified. The entire file is included but only the ExecStart and ExecStop lines change.

This is likely because of a current issue [1]. The service can be controlled with systemctl --user. When it is started, you can attach to the session:. The major benefit is that it limits and avoids fragmentation of the filesystem. However, this introduces a delay during the pre-allocation if the filesystem does not support the fallocate syscall natively.

Therefore this switch is recommended for xfs, ext4, btrfs and ocfs2 filesystems, which have native fallocate syscall support. They will see no delay during preallocation and no fragmented filesystem. Pre-allocation on others filesystems will cause a delay but will not fragment the files. To make pre-allocation available on filesystems other than the above - albeit at a delay - you can recompile libTorrent from the ABS tree with the following new switch:.

See the upstream documentation for further information. Make sure to change the paths. Also see completion moving via a bash script , and via pyrocore's rtcontrol there is an AUR package. The end result? When that torrent, 'All Live Nudibranches', that we started before leaving for work finishes, we will be texted:. If you do not want to download a torrent immediately, and would prefer it to begin at a later time to accomodate a data plan, for example , you can add the torrent to a specific directory and tell rtorrent to check that directory periodically, if a torrent file is present, rtorrent will start downloading at the appointed time:.
