stop_on_ratio = min_ratio,min_upload,max_ratio

schedule = ratio,60,60,"stop_on_ratio=200,50M,300"

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.

# Default group for ratio handling.

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

# The above commands can be called through:

ratio.disable
ratio.enable
ratio.max
ratio.max.set
ratio.min
ratio.min.set
ratio.upload
ratio.upload.set

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.

ratio.enable=

# Change the limits, the defaults should be sufficient.

ratio.min.set=100
ratio.max.set=300
ratio.upload.set=20M

# Changing the command triggered when the ratio is reached.

system.method.set = group.seeding.ratio.command, d.close=, d.erase=

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.

view_add = view_group_1

# Make the views persist across sessions.

view.persistent = view_group_1

# Create new groups, 'group.insert = <name>, <view>'.

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 

Optionally you may create a persistent view group directly. Note
that the view name is the same as the group name.

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

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.

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"

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.

schedule = throttle_1,01:00:00,24:00:00,download_rate=0
schedule = throttle_2,05:00:00,24:00:00,download_rate=25 

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.

session = ~/Download/session

Watch a directory for new torrents, restart torrents that have been
copied back and stop those that have been deleted.

schedule = watch_directory,10,10,load_start=~/Download/watch/*.torrent
schedule = tied_directory,10,10,start_tied=
schedule = untied_directory,10,10,close_untied=

Watch another directory with a different destination. (0.7.7+)

schedule = watch_directory_2,10,10,"load_start=~/Download/watch_stuff/*.torrent,d.set_directory=~/Download/stuff/"

When the torrent finishes, it executes “mv -n <base_path> ~/Download/” and then sets the destination directory to “~/Download/”. (0.8.4+)

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/"

For versions 0.7.7 to 0.8.3 use this:

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/"
