+.SH NAME
+rtorrent \- a BitTorrent client for ncurses
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+
+\fBrtorrent\fR [ \fB-h\fR ] [ \fB-n\fR ] [ \fB-o key1=opt1,...\fR ] [ \fB-O key=opt\fR ] [ \fBURL | FILE\fR\fI ...\fR ]
+
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+\fBrtorrent\fR is a BitTorrent client for ncurses, using
+the \fBlibtorrent\fR library. The client and library is
+written in C++ with emphasis on speed and efficiency, while delivering
+equivalent features to those found in GUI based clients in an ncurses
+client.
+.PP
+Most of the options below have their own default unit in addition to
+supporting B, K, M and G suffixes.

+\fBencoding_list = \fIencoding\fB\fR

+attempted in the order they are inserted, if none match the torrent
+default is used.
+.TP
+\fBencryption = \fIoption\fB,\fI\&...\fB\fR
+Set how rtorrent should deal with encrypted Bittorrent connections. By
+default, encryption is disabled, equivalent to specifying the option
+\fBnone\fR\&. Alternatively, any number of the following
+options may be specified:
+
+\fBallow_incoming\fR (allow incoming encrypted connections),
+\fBtry_outgoing\fR (use encryption for outgoing connections),

+\fBcommand\fR is forwarded to the option handler.
+\fBstart\fR and \fBinterval\fR may
+optionally use a time format, \fBdd:hh:mm:ss\fR\&. F.ex to

+have been deleted. Clear the association with the 'U' key.
+.TP
+\fBclose_low_diskspace = \fIspace\fB\fR

+\fBload_start_verbose = \fIfile\fB\fR
+Load and possibly start a file, or possibly multiple files by using the

+\fBstart\fR is non-zero. The loaded file will be tied
+to the filename provided.
+.TP
+\fBimport = \fIfile\fB\fR
+.TP
+\fBtry_import = \fIfile\fB\fR
+Load a resource file. \fBtry_import\fR does not throw

+.TP
+\fBstop_on_ratio = \fImin_ratio\fB,\fImin_upload\fB,\fImax_ratio\fB\fR
+Stop torrents when they reach the given upload ratio

+.TP
+\fBmin_peers_seed = \fIvalue\fB\fR

+\fBthrottle_down = \fIname\fB, \fIdownload_rate\fB\fR
+Define secondary throttle and/or set the given upload or download rate. Attach to a download with the d.set_throttle_name=name command
+or switch throttles with Ctrl-T. Download must be stopped when changing throttles. Note that secondary throttles only work if the
+global upload/download is throttled. Setting a download to use the \fBNULL\fR throttle makes the download unthrottled
+even when there is a global throttle. Note that this special case bypasses the global throttle entirely, and as such its rate and
+transfer amounts are not included in the global statistics.
+.TP

+.TP
+\fBthrottle_ip = \fIname\fB, \fInetwork/prefix\fB\fR
+.TP
+\fBthrottle_ip = \fIname\fB, \fIstart\fB, \fIend\fB\fR
+Use the given secondary throttle for a host, CIDR network or IP range. All peers with a matching IP will use this throttle instead

+.SH "TRACKER RELATED SETTINGS"

+logged at the moment, although disabling it will work as expected.
+.TP
+\fBtracker_numwant = \fInumber\fB\fR

+disable DHT, \fBoff\fR (default) to enable DHT but to not start the
+DHT server, \fBauto\fR to automatically start and stop the DHT server
+as needed or \fBon\fR for permanently keeping the DHT server running.
+When set to automatic, the DHT server will start up when the first non-private torrent
+is started, and will stop 15-30 minutes after the last non-private torrent is
+stopped (or when rTorrent quits). For DHT to work, a session directory must be set (for
+saving the DHT cache).

+Set the UDP listen port for DHT. Defaults to 6881.
+.TP
+\fBdht_add_node = \fIhost[:port]\fB\fR

+.TP
+\fBview_sort_current = \fIname\fB,\fI\&...\fB\fR

+Create or delete a symbolic link. The link path is the concatenation
+of \fBpath\fR, the result of
+the \fBtype\fR on the download,
+and \fBsuffix\fR\&.
+
+Available types are; \fBbase_path\fR uses the base path

+Always use MS_SYNC rather than MS_ASYNC when syncing chunks. This may
+be nessesary in case of filesystem bugs like NFS in linux ~2.6.13.
+.TP
+\fBmax_open_files = \fIvalue\fB\fR
+Number of files to simultaneously keep open. LibTorrent dynamically
+opens and closes files as necessary when mapping files to

+You probably only think you know what this option does, so don't touch
+it.
+.TP
+\fBmax_open_sockets = \fIvalue\fB\fR
+Number of network sockets to simultaneously keep open. This value is
+set to a reasonable value based on \fBsysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX)\fR\&.

+Number of sockets to simultaneously keep open. This value is set
+to \fB32\fR by default.

+\fBtos = \fIdefault|lowdelay|throughput|reliability|mincost\fB\fR
+.TP
+\fBtos = \fIhex\fB\fR
+Change the TOS of peer connections, by default set to
+\fBthroughput\fR\&. If the option is set to
+\fBdefault\fR then the system default TOS is used. A
+hex value may be used for non-standard settings.
+.TP
+\fBhandshake_log = \fIyes\fB\fR
+Enable logging of the peer handshake. This generates a large number of
+log messages, but may be useful to debug connection problems.
