i have a few questions:
if i want to seed the same folder to two different trackers, can i load two torrent files that bind to the same folder?
or do i have to create one torrent file that lists both trackers?
can i add trackers on-the-fly to a active torrent in rtorrent?
will rtorrent maintain seeding status concurrently with multiple trackers? (it doesn't alternate the trackers, does it?)

one torrent per tracker i think

Try it ... I don't see any reason why it would not work ...
> can i add trackers on-the-fly to a active torrent in rtorrent?
Not directly, you can try changing the tracker and reloading the torrent.

if you want to seed the same folder to different trackers you need to do some wizardry
1. set the piece size different
2. add a file to one or the other so that the hash value of torrent is not the same
otherwise everything will get fuxed up.

thanks, nestor. i modded our my piece sizes and reuploaded all of my what.cd torrents.
what is sexy, eh.
it's alright. i'll probably never use it so i can maintain my infinity ratio.
bah, that ain't cool. i'm probably going to do most of my downloading there, as it seems that there are more leechers = more ratio even on obscure stuff.
in sorting through my tags i've found a lot of mutt rips, 128 mp3/aac, aac in general, and just terribly tagged stuff that i'm too lazy to fix. so i need to re-download a lot, and since i've switched to foobar i may as well switch to flac too, especially as that will give me a much bigger buffer for downloads.

> bah, that ain't cool.
why?
i want to be able to see the log file before downloading flacs. :(

a lot of people don't do that, or do they?
I've seen it a lot with flac rips.
To be honest I'm not really sure what has a better audiophile community. Waffles has Waffle Irons on one hand but I think there is a lot more 24/96 audio on What.

what is foobar?
yeah, i'll be using what.cd for downloading. i'm so wary about downloading things! at least on waffles, i got a lot of uploads, so i got a decent buffer to work with. right now my buffer is ~1.25GB on what.cd, which isn't a lot to work with. :(
but i guess you gotta download some to upload some, yeah?
also, i suppose that patience helps. download moderately as you continue to seed?

foobar2000 is a music player.
well i'd keep downloads seeding forever. unlike sites where torrents get huge swarms within 1 hour of upload, waffles & what require you to seed indefinitely (the library model).
i would just try to maintain a target ratio at first and you will find your buffer expands naturally. as your buffer expands you go on downloading whims.
what is your line speed?

right, which i plan to do.
> i would just try to maintain a target ratio at first and you will find your buffer expands naturally.
i'll download as i please, as long as i stay above 0.50.
> what is your line speed?
8mbps down, maybe 512kbps up. i might upgrade the speed for $10/month.

how many servers are you renting right now?
@lucas: one thing a friend of mine did on oink and does now on waffles is troll irc and usenet for music that are identical in size and filename to torrents that are popular, download them using those other channels and seed them to boost his ratio. if i remember correctly his ratio on waffles is around the 25's.
nestor> how many servers are you renting right now?
a) i have a vps from slicehost.com. ($20/month)
b) i utilize aws s3. (~$3/month)
c) i run a server at home. ($30/month for the line.)
@db: not a bad idea, but that seems like it would take a lot of time, and it would probably be very hard to find matches.

dbrown > that is easier at waffles because they label things as scene so you can generally find the equivalent scene release. iirc what doesn't do that. oh and that ratio is insane.
interesting lr. your vps is probably too critical to run rtorrent on, so that doesn't help :)

yeah, i wouldn't use my slice. :)
i might start running one rtorrent process for every tracker i'm on, and have separate incoming directories
not a bad idea.
i don't think i realized how badass rtorrent is:

or maybe this!
YES!

# Watch another directory with a different destination. (0.7.7+) schedule = watch_directory_2,10,10,"load_start=~/Download/watch_stuff/*.torrent,d.set_directory=~/Download/stuff/"
or maybe this!
# Each watch directory adds torrents with the final destination stored # in the "custom1" string of the download. You can check this string with # ctrl-X then "print=$d.get_custom1=" in the client. schedule = watch_directory_1,10,10,"load_start=~/Download/watch_stuff1/*.torrent,d.set_custom1=~/Download/stuff1/" schedule = watch_directory_2,10,10,"load_start=~/Download/watch_stuff2/*.torrent,d.set_custom1=~/Download/stuff2/" # On completion, move the torrent to the directory from custom1. on_finished = move_complete,"execute=mv,-u,$d.get_base_path=,$d.get_custom1= ;d.set_directory=$d.get_custom1=" # the above line for Mac OS X and *BSD. on_finished = move_complete,"execute=mv,-n,$d.get_base_path=,$d.get_custom1= ;d.set_directory=$d.get_custom1="
YES!
wow, i need to use that
and so i am. :)
thanks for the tip!!
thanks for the tip!!
i've always been using that
i can't get rtorrent to poll my damn torrents directory
this is so frustrating. i don't know why it isn't polling the watch directory, and i have no means to debug it.
i got it working. i'm not sure how, really.
my new config!
