3. Configuration Information

NOTE: Starting with v8.1, plexguide will autoconfigure the paths, categories, and some essential settings by default.

If you are using private trackers you will need to do the following to prevent getting banned:

sudo nano /opt/appdata/rutorrent/rtorrent/rtorrent.rc

Scroll to the bottom and add the following and replace 123.123.123.123 with your server IP:

#The ip address reported to the tracker.
network.local_address.set = 123.123.123.123

This stops rutorrent reporting a local IP to tracker.
