-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2025-9a88c489a1 2025-09-06 02:12:19.054478+00:00 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : rtorrent Product : Fedora 42 Version : 0.15.6 Release : 1.fc42 URL : https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent Summary : BitTorrent client based on libtorrent Description : A BitTorrent client using libtorrent, which on high-bandwidth connections is able to seed at 3 times the speed of the official client. Using ncurses its ideal for use with screen or dtach. It supports saving of sessions and allows the user to add and remove torrents and scanning of directories for torrent files to seed and/or download. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: 0.15.6 Minor bug fixes. 0.15.5 Minor bug fixes. 0.15.4 Fixes various issues in the previous release and refactoring of threads, polling and scheduler code. Added system.files.advise_random.hashing.set for speeding up initial hashing of files in a torrent. This can be used in conjunction with system.files.advise_random.set to reduce disk I/O on SSDs. Enabling system.files.advise_random.set will reduce unnecessary disk I/O on SSDs, while disabling system.files.advise_random.hashing.set ensures that the initial hashing retains the benefits of sequential disk read-ahead. 0.15.3 Fixes various issues in the previous release, such as tracker-related segfaults and very slow SCGI responses. Improved thread and scheduler code which will help continued efforts to make rtorrent multi-threaded. 0.15.2 UDP DNS now uses UDNS, which is embedded in the libtorrent source code. Colors, LUA and json-rpc are now supported in the client. There's now an issue created requesting testing and recommendation of config presets, which aims at making easier to set up the client for specific environments / usage.
