rtorrent with magnet link support
Yesterday I wanted to download a file but could find only magnet link. Since rtorrent doesn’t support magnet link yet officially, I did some research on google and came cross this great tutorial on how to patch the source from svn and get magnet link support. So here they are, deb packages for libtorrent and rtorrent. These packages were built for my debian squeeze, so I’m not sure if they also work on ubuntu, but if you want you can try.
libtorrent11_0.12.6-4_i386.deb (371.5 KiB, 421 hits)
rtorrent_0.8.6-2_i386.deb (393.9 KiB, 389 hits)
Hi,
The *.deb-files seem to be empty.
I tried the tutorial above but couldn’t compile rtorrent because of version missmatch
(rtorrent required libtorrent version >= 0.12-something, whereas the one compiled was 0.11-something.

files are reuploaded and they should be fine right now. If you wanna compile rtorrent yourself then you should get the latest source from svn
Hi, thanks for the package
I run rtorrent on a box running Voyage Linux (lenny based) and need to use pre-compiled packages. These work fine, even though it was built on squeeze. It complained about missing libcurl3-gnutls, but ran fine after grabbing the package from apt.
rtorrent needs to be built against xmlrpc-c >=1.11 for full rutorrent support; could you suggest a good debian package building tutorial or maybe do another .deb, if you have time and are so inclined?
@Nat
thanks for ur feedback, I made these packages by using checkinstall, so u might wanna try it as well
Thanks for the advice! I installed lenny in a virtualbox and built some myself using checkinstall
The variation below is compiled with xmlrpc support (against libxmlrpc-c3-1.16.26), along with the ipfilter patch, and a tweak to reduce peer request interval from 3 mins, down to 1 min (still conservative compared to the popular clients). They’re there if anyone wants to try them, anyway.

64 bit packages?
@Meouwn
sorry but I’ve moved to osx completely, so there will be no updates for either i386 or x64 packages, but it is really easy to build your own package by just following the tutorial that I mentioned in my post.
