In deze handleiding, I will explain you basics of using Rutorrent.<\/p>\n

Topics covered will be:<\/p>\n

1. What is rutorrent?
\n2. Hoe load up the rutorrent interface in evoseedbox?
\n3. Adding torrents to rutorrent
\n4. Removing torrents in rutorrent<\/p>\n

I have been using seedboxes for past 10 years, I have personally tried various different programs and come to the conclusion that rutorrent is one of the most user-friendly application as a front end to seedboxes. Keep in mind this document will be constantly updated based on user inputs queries and doubts the idea is to make your experience smooth and make your learning curve as small as possible<\/p>\n

So let us begin :<\/p>\n

1. What is rutorrent?
\nRutorrent is a front end or a webinterface for a torrent program called rtorrent that runs in Linux.<\/p>\n

So you might be thinking why do you need a separate interface for rtorrent?
\nrtorrent is an extremely resource efficient program so it runs in the terminal interface\n<\/p>\n

\"Rutorrent<\/p>\n

not bad eh.. but it's not the most user-friendly interface for most users and remote access makes it furthermore challenging for regular users who are not very familiar with such interfaces<\/p>\n

So fast forward years and Novik comes into the picture .. umm you might be thinking who is Novik? well he is the guy who built rutorrent
\nHere is his Git repo for rutorrent:\u00a0https:\/\/github.com\/Novik\/ruTorrent<\/a><\/p>\n

So what rutorrent does is creates a webinterface for rtorrent. It collects data from rtorrent and puts it op uw web browser along with the option to communicate with your rtorrent which is running mostly on Linux server in much more user-friendly manner.<\/p>\n

Your rutorrent looks zoiets als dit :\n<\/p>\n

\"Rutorrent<\/p>\n

\nAls u have used programs like utorrent , azureus (Vuze ) etc the interface would look quite similar to you the only difference is that it runs van uw web browser.<\/p>\n

For most, of you guys, I think this much is enough if you want to read more er is tons of more info online Als u want me to add some more clarity to this feel free to drop in a line or two\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nSo let's get back to business and let me explain to you how u kunt easily access a rutorrent account with us,<\/p>\n

Stap 2: Hoe load up the rutorrent interface in evoseedbox?
\nOnce you have signed up for a seedbox account (In case you have not please do that at\u00a0https:\/\/evoseedbox.com<\/a>\u00a0)
\nCheck your email ( Dit is very critical\u00a0<\/p>\n

u zult find a link naar uw klantengebied.<\/p>\n

Once you are in uw klantengebied het zal look zoiets als dit :\n<\/p>\n

\"Rutorrent<\/p>\n

Did you want to seed the wachtwoord, didn't you?\u00a0<\/p>\n

(sorry for popping your eyes with white klantengebied)<\/p>\n

So as u kunt see I have highlighted the rutorrent area and er is a green knop below it called open, just click on it and yay!! u zult have your rutorrent interface open.<\/p>\n

You thought it would be hard\u00a0<\/p>\n

well we have already preconfigureerd the setup for you so you don't moet do much.<\/p>\n

Now you must be thinking well it did not ask for my user id or wachtwoord for opening up rutorrent.
\nThe thing is in uw klantengebied the gebruikersnaam is and wachtwoord is already preconfigureerd in the open knop which saves you the hassle of putting the gebruikersnaam and wachtwoord every time.<\/p>\n

Now that you have your rutorrent open let's move to step 3<\/p>\n

3. Adding torrents to rutorrent.
\nIn deze handleiding, we are going to only consider the methods within the torrents interface. There are more advanced methods like remotely adding torrents from the browser, Android device, apps but we won't be covering it in this guide to keep is simple and once you understand the basic ways of adding the torrents its<\/p>\n

Method 1.
\nDrag and drop, yes its that easy drag and drop your tracker file to rutorrent and boom het zal start loading in uw rutorrent interface<\/p>\n

\"Rutorrent<\/p>\n

Method 2
\nUsing add knop in torrent on the top right corner u kunt see a + sign if you open it up it gives you an option to browse to the folder where you have downloaded your tracker file from a torrent website, select the torrent\/torrents(at a time u kunt do 20 tracker files) and then click add file and het zal start downlaoding in uw rutorrent webinterface.\n<\/p>\n

\"Rutorrent<\/p>\n

Method 3.<\/p>\n

It is similar to the previous method but in this case instead of downloading the tracker file van uw torrent website you copy the link van uw tracker website and put it the Torrent URL field and press add.<\/p>\n

Please note that in some public trackers which are behind cache proxies etc this method might not work, one solution could be to convert the magnet links to tracker files from websites like\u00a0http:\/\/magnet2torrent.me\/<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Rutorrent<\/p>\n

These are the most basic methods of adding a torrent to rutorrent other methods of adding torrents with rutorrent will be covered in a different tutorial.<\/p>\n

Now that u zult start to add torrents u zult soon realise that you might be reaching the full HDD capacity of uw seedbox ( U kunt always upgrade) but don\u2019t fret u kunt always remove torrents make some space by removing torrents.<\/p>\n

Which brings us to our next topic<\/p>\n

4. Removing torrents in rutorrent<\/p>\n

there are primarily 2 ways to remove torrents from rutorrent. The first method would remove just the tracker file in case you are done seeding a particular torrent or you don\u2019t want a certain torrent to be anymore listed in uw rutorrent interface.<\/p>\n

\"Rutorrent<\/p>\n

\nPlease note that in this method the data of the torrent still remains os you moet either delete it using the bestandsbeheer in rutorrent<\/p>\n

Method 2. Removing and delete data method.<\/p>\n

This method applies ot torrents which you don't want anymore op uw system
\nIt will not only remove the tracker file but make space for you to download more torrents in case your HDD is getting full. The process of doing dit is similar you moet klik met de rechtermuisknop op the torrent you want to get rid of and select remove and delete data.<\/p>\n

\"Rutorrent<\/p>\n

Well, that is the basics you need to learn in uw journey to becoming a rutorrent ninja. May the force of seedbox be with you shinobi.<\/p>\n

PS: In case the second method does not work (data is not getting removed) : you need ot restart rtorrent . restarting rtorrent is covered in this tutorial section.<\/p>\n
