rTorrent version
During last month's patch we opted to use the latest rTorrent version available, 0.9.0 with libTorrent 0.13.0. What else would make sense to choose?
Little did we know that many trackers do not accept the latest rTorrent version, autotools are broken with it among other things.
We have attempted to change it back to 1-step older version, which does compile just fine, but does not work. It is missing some code required for it to work, thus upon start crashing on an error.
We are now considering the option to downgrade all the way back to ~1½ year old version, or start testing different SVN version to find a version which works.
If you can suggest a version combination which actually does work as expected, please do not hesitate to contact support and let us know your opinion. After we have chosen and done Q&A testing for new chosen version it will be distributed to servers within 72hrs.
The problems caused by something as simple as this is the reason why we opted not to push rTorrent updates for a very very long time. Past experiences with rTorrent updates has shown things get broken left and right in each update.
