You may try to resolve them by halving or doubling this number.
A newer feature is the option to theme ruTorrent, to give it a different look.
Foreign users may wish to change the language of text to their native language.''

Checkmarking "Check hash after download" will verify that downloaded files are complete and not corrupted after each download.
The Connection section should not be touched, as it is set at the optimal configuration for your seedbox.
If you wish, you may stop using a specific port for rTorrent by checking "Randomize port each time rTorrent starts".
You may add the torrent label or name to the directory name for better organization.
