+==== 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>
+==== 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/"
