Session directory losing torrents with each restart

[Otsdarva68]

I am having a lot of issues with my session. Each time I stop/start rtorrent, torrent files have been disappearing out of the session, with some torrent progress being lost. I will try to readd some torrents, and some torrents never start because of a “too many open files” error that keeps recurring. There are >500k open files allowed by arch in my installation, so I do not understand the origin of that error.

All run in local home directory with normal permissions.

These issues started recently in an old installation but persisted through a downgrade to 0.10 and a reinstallation, neither of which have helped the errors

Check ulimit and your open files related rtorrent config.

ulimit -n and network.max_open_files.set are both 1024. Raising them to 10240 does not help

Press ^X in the client and paste print=(execute.capture,ulimit,-n).

Same for: print=(network.max_open_files) and print=(network.max_open_sockets).
