*Downloads<br />

<br />
*Decrease the polling time to connect to trackers<br />

new line #:154 if (!download_queue()->canceled_empty() && m_downStall >= 2)<br />
<br />
* Build Instructions<br />
libtorrent build: ./configure && make<br />
<br />
This builds a .deb package for 0.12.9 for easy install.<br />
checkinstall -D -y --install=no --fstrans=no --pkgname=libtorrent14 --pkgversion=0.12.9-3~gqwill69~precise \<br />
--maintainer="Will Hughes <gqwill69@gmail.com>" --replaces="libtorrent14_0.12.9-3_amd64" --requires="libc6 (>= 2.10), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.1.1), \<br />
libsigc++-2.0-0c2a (>= 2.0.2), libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8m-1), libstdc++6 (>= 4.5)"<br />
<br />
dpkg -i libtorrent14_0.12.9-1~gqwill69~natty1-1_amd64.deb<br />
Very important to run this command after install of deb package<br />
ldconfig<br />
<br />
== Performance Tweaks ==<br />
*Increase ARP entried to remove the following error message<br />
''kernel: [144104.388601] ipv4: Neighbour table overflow.''<br><br />
On the fly change<br />
sysctl -w net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1=1024 <br />
sysctl -w net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh2=2048<br />
sysctl -w net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh3=4096 <br />
<br />
Permanant change<br />
nano /etc/sysctl.conf<br />
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh1 = 1024<br />
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh2 = 2048<br />
net.ipv4.neigh.default.gc_thresh3 = 4096 <br />
<br />
*Shorten RSS feed time<br />
nano /var/www/rutorrent/plugins/rss/conf.php<br />
$updateInterval = 10; // in minutes<br />
