Troubleshooting

If web is unresponsive and slow it's usually do to too many files open

edit rtorrent.rc

set a higher max open limits

network.max_open_files.set = 2048

network.max_open_sockets.set = 1024

be careful not to set http.max_open too high as it can cause http timeouts -- the very problem we're trying to solve

network.http.max_open.set = 128

check system wide ulimits with ulimit -a

check system wide soft open files with ulimit -Sn

check system wide hard open files with ulimit -Hn
