I would love to use this on my dedicated server. Any chance of this script being updated for Debian 9 (stretch)? that would be super!!

Super work

Hi @TheBudda.. The scripts does not get maintained any more, because of the wonderful technology of containers. :)
Have a look at https://github.com/Kerwood/Rtorrent-LXC
Its a Docker container you deploy on your server and the only thing you need installed is Docker.

You can see how few steps there is to installing Docker here: https://linuxbloggen.dk/docker-installation/
And heres the official install guide: https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/docker-ce/debian/

Good luck

Edit: Oh.. And the beautiful about it, is that does not matter what OS you are using. As long as you have Docker installed.

I just migrated to Debian 9 and how disappointing am I that it stopped working ;( booo
Seems I have to work it out myself, because dockers are no-go for me.

@Bercik1337 Sorry.. Just keeping up with with modern technology. Why would you not want to use Docker containers ? It makes it much easier to deploy/install.

@Kerwood Well, it's a long story, but tl;dr version would be - I don't like additional layer of stuff, especially for program/solution so small and simple as that. I could understand usage of docker in enterprise env where you need to scale up and down based on workload. But as for torrents and what not, I think this should be lightweight, distributed ideally as a single .deb or .rpm (including rtorrent,rutorrent and all others like systemd scripts).
This script was like a partial solution to this problem - kept everything automated and upgraded by community, worked like a charm! This is also why I liked uT in the old days, and now qT. It has it ALL in one exec, including http server that independent from regular httpd.

Sorry for wall of text, but I had to get it out :P Have a great day.

@TheBudda if you are interested - I took over this script. Fixed it so it works with modern Operating Systems. (currently just one :P but I work on it.
