rtorrent: Error in option file: ~/.rtorrent.rc:2: Junk at end of input. so any fix

[anonymous]

Remove the junk at the end of line 2.

Same here. Valid .rc file.

Unless you can show there's no junk at the end of line 2, this isn't a bug.

# This is an example resource file for rTorrent. Copy to # ~/.rtorrent.rc and enable/modify the options as needed. Remember to # uncomment the options you wish to enable. # Maximum and minimum number of peers to connect to per torrent. min_peers = 40 max_peers = 500 # Same as above but for seeding completed torrents (-1 = same as downloading) min_peers_seed = -1 max_peers_seed = 50 ...

rtorrent: Error in option file: ~/.rtorrent.rc:5: Junk at end of input.

the .rc file is downloaded from trac.

Whoops. It seems that the newlines got taken out of the post for some reason. Here it is again

It's saved in dos mode, where \n\r instead of just \n is used for new lines. I'll fix the parsers so it ignores those. Until then, use a real editor.

i can't open rtorrent, see this error, rtorrent: Error in option file: ~/.rtorrent.rc:28: Junk at end of input.

excuse, this is the file that gives the problem, rtorrent: Error in option file: ~/.rtorrent.rc:28: Junk at end of input.

That file has line 28 commented out, it couldn't possibly generate that message. Unless you've edited the file in a Windows editor which put a stray CR there. In that case, use a real editor to fix the file and remove all broken line endings. Or some other tool to do the line ending conversion.

Basically, don't edit a unix text file in a Windows editor. They love to break things.

Don't use PICO either, that breaks things just as often as a Windows editor!

I've got rtorrent.rc to be taken by rtorrent at last. Two things I need to fix: - remove any blank lines from the file - add a semi-colon(;) at the end of each line Afte that, rtorrent is working correctly.

What is a real editor? I'm using Gedit, no blank lines and (;) at the end of the lines, and I still get the error. And the error is: Junk at the end file, but no line number. I try to save the file with UTF-8 and ISO, both are not working.

AFAICT the source comes with a borked rtorrent.rc example file. It's necessary to create a new one from scratch, as editing the example rc (which apparently some dufus edited with a windows editor of some sort) will not work. One would think that 21 months would be enough time to replace a sample rc file...
