# This configuration file is provided by the rtorrent stickz project
# It has special configuration values that are only applicable to the project
# https://github.com/stickz/rtorrent

# This setting will allow tens of thousands of torrents
# The max value is raised 16M as required for torrent information
network.xmlrpc.size_limit.set = 16M

# This setting allows instantaneous start, without having to wait for trackers
# It also prevents a thread time out crash with a large number of torrents
#
# Trackers will take a couple more minutes to announce at startup
# The recommended value is 'yes'. Changing to 'no' is risky
trackers.delay_scrape.set = yes

# HTTP sockets will be procressed fast by curl. Ensure c-ares is installed.
network.http.max_open.set = 512

# UDNS requires a larger number of sockets to procress time outs
network.max_open_sockets.set = 2048

# Changes to the download delegator require 32MB TCP sockets for optimal performance
# Override the operating system values just for rTorrent, to reduce memory usage
#
# The reason for higher socket requirements is for a significant reduction in CPU usage
# Server processors can not exceed one gigabit download without this optimization
# 
# These settings allow up 2.5G per socket with a 250ms bandwidth delay product
network.send_buffer.size.set = 32M
network.receive_buffer.size.set = 32M

# Preallocate disk space for contents of a torrent
#
# Useful for reducing fragmentation, improving the performance
# and I/O patterns of future read operations. However, with this
# enabled, preallocated files will occupy the full size even if
# they are not completed.
#
# If you choose to allocate space for the whole torrent at once,
# rTorrent will create all files and allocate the space when the
# torrent is started. rTorrent will NOT delete the file and free
# the allocated space, if you later mark a file as DO NOT DOWNLOAD.
#
#   0 = disabled
#   1 = enabled, allocate when a file is opened for write
#   2 = enabled, allocate the space for the whole torrent at once
system.file.allocate.set = 0
