+==== Stop torrents after reaching a specified upload ratio ====
+stop_on_ratio = min_ratio,min_upload,max_ratio
+<code bash>
+schedule = ratio,60,60,"stop_on_ratio=200,50M,300"
+</code>
+The "stop_on_ratio" command can be scheduled to stop torrents that have reached a specified upload ratio. \\
+The above example will stop a torrent once it has uploaded 200% of the torrent size, \\
+unless less than 50MB has been uploaded and the ratio is below 300%.
+Use shift-I to make a torrent ignore this and other commands.
+=== The ratio handling has been updated in rtorrent 0.8.4.  ===
+== The basics ==
+# Default group for ratio handling.
+<code bash>
+group.seeding.view
+group.seeding.ratio.command
+group.seeding.ratio.disable
+group.seeding.ratio.enable
+group.seeding.ratio.max
+group.seeding.ratio.max.set
+group.seeding.ratio.min
+group.seeding.ratio.min.set
+group.seeding.ratio.upload
+group.seeding.ratio.upload.set
+</code>
+# The above commands can be called through:
+<code bash>
+ratio.disable
+ratio.enable
+ratio.max
+ratio.max.set
+ratio.min
+ratio.min.set
+ratio.upload
+ratio.upload.set
+</code>
+The 'group.seeding.view' variable points to the 'seeding' view, which contains all seeding downloads, \\
+and the default 'ratio.command' closes the download. To enabled or disable the ratio handling for the group, \\
+call the 'enable' and 'disable' commands which automatically adds it to the scheduler.
+Use the 'max', 'min' and 'upload' variables as in the old version.
+# Enable the default ratio group.
+<code bash>
+ratio.enable=
+</code>
+# Change the limits, the defaults should be sufficient.
+<code bash>
+ratio.min.set=100
+ratio.max.set=300
+ratio.upload.set=20M
+</code>
+# Changing the command triggered when the ratio is reached.
+<code bash>
+system.method.set = group.seeding.ratio.command, d.close=, d.erase=
+</code>
+== Ratio groups ==
+If you wish to specify different ratio's for different watch directories, do the following:
+Add new views. You may find out what downloads they contain through\\
+'ui.current_view.set=group_1' command or XMLRPC calls.
+<code bash>
+view_add = view_group_1
+</code>
+# Make the views persist across sessions.
+<code bash>
+view.persistent = view_group_1
+</code>
+# Create new groups, 'group.insert = <name>, <view>'.
+<code bash>
+group.insert = group_1, view_group_1
+group.group_1.ratio.enable=
+group.group_1.ratio.min.set=100
+group.group_1.ratio.max.set=300
+group.group_1.ratio.upload.set=20M
+</code>
+Optionally you may create a persistent view group directly. Note\\
+that the view name is the same as the group name.
+<code bash>
+group.insert_persistent_view = group_2
+group.group_2.ratio.enable=
+group.group_2.ratio.min.set=300
+group.group_2.ratio.max.set=0
+</code>
+Downloads need to be inserted into the view with the 'view.set_visible'\\
+command. Note that extra parameters to 'load' are commands called\\
+with the newly created download as the target.
+<code bash>
+schedule = watch_directory_1,5,10,"load_start_verbose=foo_1/*.torrent, view.set_visible=view_group_1"
+schedule = watch_directory_2,5,10,"load_start_verbose=foo_2/*.torrent, view.set_visible=group_2"
+</code>
+==== Scheduling download rate ====
+Every day "throttle_1" gets triggered at 01:00 and sets the download rate to unlimited,\\
+while "throttle_2" sets it to 25kb at 05:00. \\
+Using this the client may be made to perform a somewhat crude form of bandwidth scheduling.
+<code bash>
+schedule = throttle_1,01:00:00,24:00:00,download_rate=0
+schedule = throttle_2,05:00:00,24:00:00,download_rate=25
+</code>
+==== Secure Torrent from ISP Capping ====
+Not 100% but following you two steps avoid capping from ISP,\\
+== Encryption ==
+according to manual you can encrypt your transfer and request encryption only\\
+If Encryptiong is successfully enabled you can avoid ISP to capping on packets. which make you partially secure.
+Enable following line in your .rtorrent.rc
+<code bash | .rtorrent.rc>
+encryption=allow_incoming,try_outgoing,require,enable_retry,require_RC4
+</code>
+== Random Ports ==
+This will change ports on every "restart" of the rtorrent.\\
+port_range specify any high number port range - many be bigger than 11K.\\
+Also enable random port.
+<code bash | .rtorrent.rc>
+port_range = 12000-12999
+port_random = yes
+</code>
+==== Saving torrent state and resume data between sessions ====
+Point to a directory where rTorrent will save the torrent files. You \\
+may also use relative paths if you want different session \\
+directories depending on where you execute rtorrent. \\
+<code bash>
+session = ~/Download/session
+</code>
+==== Watch a directory for torrents ====
+Watch a directory for new torrents, restart torrents that have been \\
+copied back and stop those that have been deleted. \\
+<code bash>
+schedule = watch_directory,10,10,load_start=~/Download/watch/*.torrent
+schedule = tied_directory,10,10,start_tied=
+schedule = untied_directory,10,10,close_untied=
+</code>
+Watch another directory with a different destination. (0.7.7+)
+<code bash>
+schedule = watch_directory_2,10,10,"load_start=~/Download/watch_stuff/*.torrent,d.set_directory=~/Download/stuff/"
+</code>
+==== Move completed torrents ====
+When the torrent finishes, it executes "mv -n <base_path> ~/Download/" and then sets the destination directory to "~/Download/". (0.8.4+)
+<code bash>
+on_finished = move_complete,"d.set_directory=~/Download/ ;execute=mv,-u,$d.get_base_path=,~/Download/"
+# On MacOSX and *BSD.
+on_finished = move_complete,"d.set_directory=~/Download/ ;execute=mv,-n,$d.get_base_path=,~/Download/"
+</code>
+For versions 0.7.7 to 0.8.3 use this:
+<code bash>
+on_finished = move_complete,"execute=mv,-u,$d.get_base_path=,~/Download/ ;d.set_directory=~/Download/"
+# On MacOSX and *BSD.
+on_finished = move_complete,"execute=mv,-n,$d.get_base_path=,~/Download/ ;d.set_directory=~/Download/"
+</code>
+==== rTorrent Profile ====
+This is the current profile that I am using for my rtorrent client. Though most is using the defaults, there are some decent features.
+<code bash | .rtorrent.rc>
+# This is an example resource file for rTorrent. Copy to
+# ~/.rtorrent.rc and enable/modify the options as needed. Remember to
+# uncomment the options you wish to enable.
+safe_sync = yes
+# Maximum and minimum number of peers to connect to per torrent.
+#min_peers = 40
+#max_peers = 100
+# Same as above but for seeding completed torrents (-1 = same as downloading)
+#min_peers_seed = 10
+#max_peers_seed = 50
+# Maximum number of simultanious uploads per torrent.
+#max_uploads = 15
+# Global upload and download rate in KiB. "0" for unlimited.
+download_rate = 2000
+upload_rate = 750
+# Default directory to save the downloaded torrents.
+directory = /media/harddisk3/home/jason/images2
+# Default session directory. Make sure you don't run multiple instance
+# of rtorrent using the same session directory. Perhaps using a
+# relative path?
+session = ~/rsession
+# Watch a directory for new torrents, and stop those that have been
+# deleted.
+schedule = watch_directory,5,5,load_start=/media/harddisk3/home/jason/images2/*.torrent
+#schedule = untied_directory,5,5,stop_untied=
+# Close torrents when diskspace is low.
+schedule = low_diskspace,5,60,close_low_diskspace=100M
+# Stop torrents when reaching upload ratio in percent,
+# when also reaching total upload in bytes, or when
+# reaching final upload ratio in percent.
+# example: stop at ratio 2.0 with at least 200 MB uploaded, or else ratio 20.0
+#schedule = ratio,60,60,"stop_on_ratio=200,200M,2000"
+# The ip address reported to the tracker.
+#ip = 127.0.0.1

+# fixed that causes lack of diskspace not to be properly reported.
+#check_hash = no
+# Set whetever the client should try to connect to UDP trackers.
+use_udp_trackers = yes
+# Alternative calls to bind and ip that should handle dynamic ip's.
+#schedule = ip_tick,0,1800,ip=rakshasa
+#schedule = bind_tick,0,1800,bind=rakshasa
+# Encryption options, set to none (default) or any combination of the following:
+# allow_incoming, try_outgoing, require, require_RC4, enable_retry, prefer_plaintext
+#
+# The example value allows incoming encrypted connections, starts unencrypted
+# outgoing connections but retries with encryption if they fail, preferring
+# plaintext to RC4 encryption after the encrypted handshake
+#
+# encryption = allow_incoming,enable_retry,prefer_plaintext
+# Enable DHT support for trackerless torrents or when all trackers are down.
+# May be set to "disable" (completely disable DHT), "off" (do not start DHT),
+# "auto" (start and stop DHT as needed), or "on" (start DHT immediately).
+# The default is "off". For DHT to work, a session directory must be defined.
+#
+#dht = off
+# UDP port to use for DHT.

+# dht_port = 6881
+# Enable peer exchange (for torrents not marked private)
+#
+# peer_exchange = yes
+#
+# Do not modify the following parameters unless you know what you're doing.
+#
+# Hash read-ahead controls how many MB to request the kernel to read

+#hash_read_ahead = 10
+# Interval between attempts to check the hash, in milliseconds.
+#hash_interval = 100
+# Number of attempts to check the hash while using the mincore status,
