rtorrent 0.9.4. 0.9.2, and 0.8.9 have all had issues installed onto a normal Fedora/RHEL box. I setup a user, compiled them per the following:

and setup the .rtorrent.rc per the following:

and put it under a user named seedbox. The system has thousands of gigabytes of space free. No permission issues of any kind. It works for small torrents flawlessly, but reverts to pausing for any large torrents 90GB+. It also randomly starts to send blocks of 10 torrents (out of 50) to pausing. There are no hardware errors as verified by StressLinux. It is a rackmount made of server grade hardware verified in the last 24 hours.

The first attempt to fix the endless pausing was to increase the limits in /etc/security/limits.conf:

* soft nproc 65535
* hard nproc 65535
* soft nofile 65535
* hard nofile 65535

This did not work. I did not change these back, but it did not work.

The second attempt was to edit the .bashrc so it would be raised when the rtorrent daemon started in screen with the following:

screen -S rtorrent -d -m su seedbox -c "rtorrent"

bashrc edit:

if [ $USER = "seedbox" ]; then
ulimit -n 65535
fi

This also did not stop the pausing torrents.

I tried to raise the following value in .rtorrent.rc when torrents over 100GB still would not stop pausing when they download fine in Deluge under a different system user with no bashrc edits.

network.max_open_files.set = 10240
pieces.memory.max.set = 5000M (system has 16GB with nothing running).

(Watch for spaces before and after the password for those copy/pasting.)

It is very fast and can seed at 80MB/s without trouble. When it works, it is working great. The settings seem to open the server up and get it going great until it stops for no reason with no errors.

Does anyone have any ideas?
