Rutorrent is limited by it's devs to use only 1 cpu core this means it maxes out at 100MB/s
You can install Qbittorrent this works out of the box and you can connect to autobrr and your speeds will be alot highter or you can use deluge as per below
This guide will take you through setting up Deluge 2, its configuration and setting up autodl-irssi to maximize your speed and peering on torrents.
Install Deluge 2
Installing Deluge 2 is pretty straight forward. Be aware that the installation can take quite some time the first time you install it, as there are a lot of dependancies and packages to build and install. All this happens automatically, once you hit the [install] button on Deluge 2 via your dashboard.
Configure Deluge 2
Once Deluge 2 is installed you can open it via your Dashboard. You`ll need to input your password on Deluge 2 as well, be sure to copy it from your Dashboard for easy access.
Enable the watchdir
First, go to [Plugins] and check the box in front of AutoAdd. Hit Apply and a new option on the left will pop up, beneath Blocklist. Your screen will look like this:
Next, go to [AutoAdd] in the list on the left and add the watchdir (we are using the seedit4me defaults here) by clicking on the [+ Add] button. The following settings will work fine:
Hit [Add] and Deluge 2 will now monitor the directry you've put in there for new *.torrent files.
Tweak settings
Up top click on and select [ItConfig] on the left side of the new window. Be sure to tick the box [Apply settings on startup], select [High Performance Seed] from the drop down menu and click Load Preset. Your settings should look like below, be sure to hit [Apply] and then [OK].
Configure autodl-irssi or Autobrr
This part might be a bit confusing, so let us explain first: autodl-irssi isn't able to communicate with Deluge 2 directly. The common 'fix' is to just configure autodl-irssi via ruTorrent, and have it put the torrents that it hits on in the Deluge 2 watchdir. You can just setup autodl-irssi as you would otherwise, the only thing that is different is the part where autodl-irssi puts the torrent. You can use the Deluge 2 watchdir for that. If you haven't changed it, that is: /home/seedit4me/dwatch/
To input this directory into autodl-irssi, first open up ruTorrent and then head over to settings and then hit preferences and setup the tab [Action] like follows:
As explained before, this will let ruTorrent handle autodl-irssi, but the torrents that hit on the filter(s) you set will be added to Deluge 2 instead of ruTorrent. Please make sure to set a Delay of at least 40 seconds on your filters, to prevent Deluge 2 from trying to download a torrent that isn't available on the tracker yet (due to delays on the tracker side).
Autobrr
This is a new app and will work direct with deluge just follow the guide here
