++++Help! My torrents from the watch directory are pausing after a minute or so. |
  * **DO NOT use autotools to create the watch directory - it is already setup**, the refresh rate on autotools is default (200 seconds), where /home/username/watch is 3 seconds.  The watch directory is setup independent of ruTorrent and autotools - you do not need to add any settings to make it work.  **Stacking the autotools script and the built in watch directory functionality will break the watch directory.**  Running it independent of autotools means the torrents that are running will remain in the watch directory, and when you delete them it will stop and delete the running torrent - it is more convenient and faster.
++++
++++What is autodl-irssi and how do I configure it? |
  * autodl-irssi is a plugin that connects to an IRC channel and watches for and downloads new torrents announced by that tracker's announce bot, according to filters you set.
  - http://code.google.com/p/rutorrent/wiki/PluginAutodlirssi#Usage is a complete tutorial on how to configure autodl-irssi for ruTorrent.
  - You must configure the 'Trackers...' section of autodl-irssi to download torrents from trackers that require a login.
  - When you configure the action, you must use the **Save to watch folder** action, NOT the rTorrent action.
  - You can browse for your watch directory, or enter **/home/username/watch** - where username is your username. {{:watchdir.gif?linkonly|image}}
  - **DO NOT use autotools to create the watch directory** - it is already setup, the refresh rate on autotools is default (200 seconds), where /home/username/watch is 3 seconds.
++++
++++How do I cancel my subscription? |
  * Cancelling your seedbox subscription is non-reversible.  Once you cancel your account WILL be deleted at the end of the term and there is nothing we can do to stop that from happening.

  * **If you signed up with a PayPal account:**
    - Log into your PayPal account.
    - Click "Profile" at the top of the page.
    - Click "My Money" on the left side.
    - Next to "My Preapproved Payments" click "Update". {{:cancelsub.gif?linkonly|image}}
    - Find the subscription (it will be named SysOp) and click on it.
    - Click "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom and confirm it on the next page.
    - Your account will remain active until the term ends, after it ends your account will be deleted along with all of your files.

++++I've only downloaded 1MB of a torrent, why does it say I'm using 10+GB? |
  * rTorrent has a bug on ext4 filesystems (or any filesystem that supports fallocate).  It ignores the setting to disable file pre-allocation and so when a file STARTS downloading it reserves the space for the entire file on the system (and shows that you are using the space).  The only way around this is to add a torrent and check the "Don't start the download automatically" box and go to the Files tab and right-click the files you don't want and select "Don't download" and then start the torrent.
++++
