Is there a guide somewhere on how to install this?

Yes, the guide is the first post in this thread.

Install the package, and you're done:
installpkg /path-to-where-you-put-the-package/untorrent*.tgz

 

 

I put the folders in my root drive but the webui still doesn't show.

 

Don't put any folders anywhere.

Don't uncompress anything.

Just use the 'installpkg' command.

I guess i'm just stupid cause I still cant figure this out.  ???

 

I put untorrent-2.8.5.full-i486-1pur.tgz on my unraid flash drive then telnet to my unraid server and typed:

installpkg untorrent-2.8.5.full-i486-1pur.tgz

installpkg /root/untorrent-2.8.5.full-i486-1pur.tgz

installpkg untorrent*.tgz

installpkg /root/untorrent*.tgz

 

I've also tried putting it on disk drives and did:

installpkg /disk1/untorrent-2.8.5.full-i486-1pur.tgz

installpkg /disk1/untorrent*.tgz

 

Nothing works? File not found. I've been using unraid for like 3 days, I just don't get this stuff.

The flash drive is mounted at /boot

 

Therefore, either type

cd /boot

installpkg untorrent-2.8.5.full-i486-1pur.tgz

or

installpkg /boot/untorrent-2.8.5.full-i486-1pur.tgz

 

The disks are mounted at /mnt, therefore disk1 is /mnt/disk1

 

The installpkg command would then be

installpkg /mnt/disk1/untorrent-2.8.5.full-i486-1pur.tgz

installpkg untorrent*.tgz

installpkg /root/untorrent*.tgz

Your flash drive is mounted in the /boot/ directory of your root file system.

So if the package is in the root folder of the flash key, then the install command would be:

installpkg /boot/untorrent*.tgz

 

I've also tried putting it on disk drives and did:

installpkg /disk1/untorrent-2.8.5.full-i486-1pur.tgz

installpkg /disk1/untorrent*.tgz

Your disk1 is mounted in the /mnt/disk1/ directory of your root file system.

So if the package is in the root folder of disk1, then the install command would be:

installpkg /mnt/disk1/untorrent*.tgz

Great work m8!  ;D

 

I have been running ruTorrent for quite some time now, and it works great, but installing it and getting it to run was a b*tch to say the least... (especially since I don't have real Linux experience)

I think i will replace my custom installation (which is basically a go script installing all the required packages and running rtorrent with screen at every reboot :-X) with this much more elegant package.

Let me know if you are interested in any of the plugins listed there, and I'll make tem into unRAID packages.

 

It would be great if you could make unRAID packages of, PluginDataDir, Plugin_GetDir and PluginChoose.

 

Really great work you've done with this UnTorrent package.  :)

I have got one question.

 

I installed the rutorrent package (including all plugins => first package to download) a while ago. Then I could enter the web frontend using //tower:8089.

That was about a week ago.

 

Yesterday I tried to enter //tower:8089 but with no luck.

 

=> Do I have to install the package everytime the server boots?

 

I also tried to put this command line in my go script, but with no success after re-boot.

until `cat /proc/mdcmd | grep -q -a "STARTED"` ; do sleep .5 ; done

 

Shall I put the installcommand in the go script instead?

 

Hope someone can enlighten me....

Tom has said at least once in the past that /proc/mdcmd is NOT thread safe.  Your "sleep" command might interrupt a part of the start-up process.    I ran into this once when I put a new disk into the server and it was clearing it.  I had a 5 second polling loop invoking mdcmd watchng the array status.  It prevented the clear from completing...  (It kept re-starting the clear process, the server never came online)

 

You are far better off using some other semaphore indicating that unRAID is on-line.  Just in case a similar issue still exists.  When unRAID 5.0 is released, we should have a true "after array starts" event to use to start processes like these.

 

I'd use the presence of the disk mount-point as a guide.

 

until test -d /mnt/disk1; do sleep 10; done

 

Also, historically the sleep command in shell did not take fractions of a second arguments.  The sleep in unRAID apparently can, but there is no reason in this case to make your script non-portable using 0.5.  If anything,  you can increase the test interval in the loop as I did in my example.  If the array is just starting, give it some time.

Hello,

 

okay now I put the installation command in my go script and that works like a charme....

 

For testing purpose I stored a torrent file on my disk 2 in a directory. I opened it from a directory of my unraid server.

 

But the torrent always stays in status paused. I can stop it. After I press "start" it gets automatically in status paused again.

 

Tried also different torrent files from different trackers - but I was not successfull.....

 

Is there something I have to think about additionally?

Normally, No.

 

Is your disk array started?

 

Do you have disk1 in your array?  Is there any free space on it?

 

What torrent directories do you have defined in your  .rtorrent.rc  file?

(It is located in the  /custom/rtorrent/  directory on your flash key)

 

There should be a file called  untorrent.log  in the same directory.  Can you post it here?

 

What happens if you just drop a torrent file in your 'auto' directory?

Yes, the array is on-line.

 

I have set the path to disc 2 of my array as disc one has only 250 GB left. (On Disc 2 there is more than 1 TB free).

 

I will post the directory tree tonight. One question in advance: Do I need to create the folders on my own or does rtorrent do that automatically?

Create them on your own.

Okay, folders created. I changed the path in the .rtorrent.rc file to

 

/mnt/disk2/torrents/ and then subfolders

 

downloading

downloading/rtorrent.session

auto

complete

 

But the untorrent log-file tells me (exactly as the web-gui) that rtorrent is not running.

boot/custom/rtorrent/ and left it unchanged.
Found existing php.ini in /boot/custom/php/ and left it unchanged.
Found existing mod_php.conf in /boot/custom/php/ and left it unchanged.
Found existing lighttpd.conf in /boot/custom/lighttpd/ and left it unchanged.
Found existing lighttpd.conf.include in /boot/custom/lighttpd/ and left it unchanged.
Found existing rc.local_shutdown in /boot/config/ and left it unchanged.
untorrent services:
rtorrent   ----   NOT started!

Mon Feb 1 04:33:30 GMT+8 2010  ##### Finished the untorrent 2.8.5 installation... #####

 

But I do not know how to fix that now....... I appreciate any help in this matter....it drives me crazy....

A very slick package. Thanks for putting in so much effort. I have a (silly) question. I am using a directory on my cache disk for everything rtorrent. It appears that the cache disk won't spin down despite there not being any active torrents; no torrent files whatsoever. When checking with lsof /mnt/cache, there's no output, which I interpret as there not being any open files that would keep unRAID from spinning down the disk. The same happened to me when I was using bubbaRAID 4.4.2. Any ideas a) why this would be the case, b) how to determine what keeps the disk from spinning down, and c) whether this problem can be "fixed"?

 

Thanks,

Carsten
