Upgrading to RTorrent 0.8.5
Recently I went through the process of upgrading rtorrent-0.8.2 and libtorrent-0.12.2 on my Ubuntu 9.04 box to the latest versions, rtorrent-0.8.5 and libtorrent-0.12.5. Unfortunately what should be a simple process was rather complicated because the developer has not yet updated the project’s website to reflect all of the changes that have been made to the configuration options in version 0.8.4 (which was released nearly a year ago!). After dozens of Google searches I was able track down the information I needed. In addition, I have added notes on hiccups I ran into when compiling RTorrent from source and getting RTorrent to work with dtach.
