Hi,
I’m new on dietpie. I began this week to work on.
Before, excuse me for my bad english, I didn’t practice for a long time.
I have install dietpie on a raspberry 4 with a 2TO hard drive on USB.
I have migrated Dietpi User Date on my usb hard drive using drive manager.
I have edit the rutorrent config files (files : .rtorrent.rc in /mnt/data1/dietpi_userdata/rtorrent) to add the folder for download (# Default directory to save the downloaded torrents.
directory.default.set = /mnt/data1/dietpi_userdata/downloads). In this folder I have created some sub folder like Movies, Tv SHow, Music, etc.
But when I launch Rutorrent, and try to add a torrent, I can’t access to the sub folder (movies, tv shows, etc.), Rutorrent only see the download folder empty.
I think I have made something wrong, but don’t know what. I don’t find something like that on this forum or antoher one.
Thanks for your help.
Regards
Check the file permissions that they allow the torrent client user to read and write inside the download folder.
indeed file system permission would be my guess as well. pls can you post
ls -la /mnt/data1/dietpi_userdata/
ls -la /mnt/data1/dietpi_userdata/downloads/

Problem 1, dietpi_userdata is owned by root.
Problem 2, in downloads all directories but Music are owned by root.
Fix these for a start with
sudo chown dietpi:dietpi DIR_NAME
I guess it would be needed to change all directories to user rtorrent. let’s check how the user looks like. pls can you post following to display all groups of the user
groups rtorrent
Hi,
Last night I answered you Trendy, but I think I didn’t click on the send button.
So I try with this command :
sudo chown dietpi:dietpi /mnt/data1/dietpi_userdata/downloads/
And nothing happened in SSH, and I go tu Rutorrent but nothing as changed.
So you say that all diectory are owned by root, but I use root for login in Rutorrent. Maybe I do the wrong things for using Rutorrent ?
to Joulinar :
SSH answer me : rtorrent : rtorrent dietpi
Thank you so mutch.
as already indicated yesterday, you would need to change all directories you like to see, to user rtorrent
therefore do the following
chown -R rtorrent:dietpi <DIR_NAME>
pls replace <DIR_NAME> with the folder name you like to see on Rutorrent
Hi,
Thank you very much, it’s work.
Have a nice day everybody.
I may have same issue with new install of rtorrent where I am trying to set the configuration to external USB drive.
/mnt/wd (is where drive is mounted.
- How do you properly re-configure the rtorrent.rc config to move all operations to the new drive?
- RPI stop working after changing the rtorrent.rc config to point to the external HDD.
- File permissions on external drive were update to reflect rtorrent:dietpi , but I do not believe that help in any way.
How do you get a fresh install to work?
Mount /mnt/wd to /mnt/dietpi_userdata/
embossbj
What do you mean by the RPI stopped working. Is the whole device not accessible or just Rutorrent?
Can you share some more details on your system
Required Information
- DietPi version | cat /boot/dietpi/.version
- Distro version | echo $G_DISTRO_NAME $G_RASPBIAN
- Kernel version | uname -a
- SBC model | echo $G_HW_MODEL_NAME or (EG: RPi3)
- Mount point | ls -la /mnt/wd
- disks overview | lsblk -o name,fstype,label,size,ro,type,mountpoint,partuuid,uuid
Disregard my comment on RPI stopped working.
Basically, rutorrent web UI does not work or allow any torrents to be run/downloaded

This is the error I have on the rutorrent Web UI
[04.12.2021 08:59:24] No connection to rTorrent. Check if it is really running. Check $scgi_port and $scgi_host settings in config.php and scgi_port in rTorrent configuration file.
Not familiar with setup of this application, so do not know where to look within file system for these config parameters.
what exactly was the change you have done? Did you changes any files ore moved something? Where did you have done the changes?
Just update the /mnt of the external USB drive to be /mnt/dietpi_userdata
Pls describe what you have done exactly. How did you do that.
unmount the drive, and re-mounted the drive to the dietpi_downloads mount point.
uninstall the rtorrent/rutorrent software from dietpi system, and re-installed the software after update the mount points.
something doesn’t fit on your information. Your drive is mounted to /mnt/wd4tb and not to /mnt/dietpi_userdata. Can you share again following
ls -la /mnt
ls -la /mnt/dietpi_userdata
df -h
