If you see this error in your rutorrent Web Gui:

Error downloading files. Make sure autodl-irssi is started and configured properly (eg. password, port number): Error getting files listing: Error: Could not connect: (111) Connection refused

You simply need to run the installer again to apply the fix.

Important note: This will not delete or change any of your configured settings. It will just update autodl and apply the fix.

wget -qO ~/install.autodl.sh http://git.io/oTUCMg && bash ~/install.autodl.sh

Preparation

SSH to your slot and run these commands:

Important note: These commands do not delete the ~/.autodl folder or the ~/.autodl/autodl.cfg but this file will be overwritten during manual installation below so please back it up now if you need it.

killall irssi -u $(whoami); screen -wipe
cp -f ~/.autodl/autodl.cfg ~/.autodl/autodl.cfg.bak
cd && rm -rf .irssi/scripts/AutodlIrssi .irssi/scripts/autorun/autodl-irssi.pl
cd && rm -rf www/$(whoami).$(hostname -f)/public_html/rutorrent/plugins/autodl-irssi

Manual installation of autodl-irssi

SSH to your slot and run these commands:

mkdir -p ~/.irssi/scripts/autorun ~/.autodl
echo -e "[options]\ngui-server-port = 0\ngui-server-password = PASS" > ~/.autodl/autodl.cfg
wget -O ~/autodl-irssi.zip $(curl -sL http://git.io/vlcND | grep 'browser' | cut -d\" -f4)
unzip -qo ~/autodl-irssi.zip -d ~/.irssi/scripts/

Configuring your autodl-irssi connection to the autodl-irssi rutorrent plugin.

This step is not required. If you don’t want to use the UI configuration editor,

To configure autodl-irssi for rutorrent:

You can use any torrent client. You just need the rutorrent UI installed to use this feature.

nano ~/.autodl/autodl.cfg

The autodl.cfg it will look like this

[options]
gui-server-port = 0
gui-server-password = PASS

1: Change the port to something between 10001 and 32001

2: Create a password and replace PASS with your new password.

Then press and hold CTRL and then press x to save. Press y to confirm.

Manual installation of autodl-irssi rutorrent plugin

Important note: These next commands are to download and then edit the GUI plugin to connect with the process. And are required if you wish to use the rutorrent GUI to manage autodl-irssi.

cd ~/www/$(whoami).$(hostname -f)/public_html/rutorrent/plugins/
wget -qO autodl-rutorrent.zip https://github.com/autodl-community/autodl-rutorrent/archive/master.zip
unzip -qo autodl-rutorrent.zip
cp -rf autodl-rutorrent-master/. autodl-irssi
rm -rf autodl-rutorrent.zip autodl-rutorrent-master
cp -f autodl-irssi/_conf.php autodl-irssi/conf.php
nano autodl-irssi/conf.php

Edit this info:

$autodlPort = 15896; // Set the same port value as you set earlier (the one in ~/.autodl/autodl.cfg)

$autodlPassword = "ey47DT7heE7E8"; // Set the same password as before (while editing ~/.autodl/autodl.cfg)

Then press and hold CTRL and then press x to save. Press y to confirm.
