How to Fast Resume Hash Skip in rTorrent

If you upload a torrent and are using rTorrent and you would like to to skip a hash when reloading the .torrent into rTorrent do the following command after getting the no hash check script set up.

nh RLSNAME.torrent
To have the ability to do this, do the following in your terminal, as root:

cd /bin
wget http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/downlo...fast_resume.pl
chmod 755 rtorrent_fast_resume.pl
mv rtorrent_fast_resume.pl nh.pl
You have pretty much downloaded the script that is used to skip hashchecks

Now to make it easier to use.
Create a file called nh (stands for 'no hash' doesn't have an extension)

cd /bin
nano nh
Copy the following into nh, then save and place in /bin/ folder.


paste the following in (be sure to change the directory paths to their correct locations on your server):

#!/bin/bash
nh.pl /path.to.torrentdata/ <$1> /path.to.watchdir/$1
press ctrl+X and save it as nh

You need to chmod 755 nh

chmod 755 /bin/nh
Next we need to make sure that the perl script will work by entering the following which will install everything necessary to actually run the script.

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Convert::Bencode'
Now both nh.pl and nh files are in /bin/ and the correct download and watch directories have been replaced in the nh file the script should be ready.

Now lets say you want to skip hash check on Rambo.Boxset.1080p.BluRay.x264 (which you already have the files for on your server)

You would download the Rambo.Boxset.1080p.BluRay.x264.torrent to any folder on your server (do not download it to your watch directory b/c rtorrent will start it up automatically)
Navigate to that folder where you had just saved the .torrent and enter the following in terminal:

nh Rambo.Boxset.1080p.BluRay.x264.torrent
BEST REGARDS!!
