[Libtorrent-devel] How to execute commands from within rtorrent?

[PsiStormYamato]

lol  I asked this exact same question on the list a while back. The
problem is that the commands listed on the website are the ones for the
newest version of rtorrent. They were different for the old version that
Ubuntu is still using.

To set max_peers:
d.set_peers_max=

If you look under the "History" tab of the "CommandsRaw" page on the
site, you can see all the old versions. The newest version is "4"
It looks like we need to be using version "3":
