[Libtorrent-devel] Short rtorrent question

[Jens Rasmus Liland]

I am not very in to commandline editing after rtorrent is started. I
suppoose you have to add that line of yours to the .rc-file. Personally I
think it is a good thing that rtorrent does not save any information without
one knowing it. Maybe some other more competent person than me can help 'Der
Mickster' out?
