^ how many torrents do you have to keep running to reach the non-insignificant numbers of torrents?
well i mean, i'm sure below 100torrents is still insignificant... ignore this if it isnt true =P

Once I enabled it I got much better mdraid performance and rtorrent read/writes (when running other concurrent disk i/o stuff). I haven't tested this with a not-insignificant number of torrents though.

Well. I am running solaris, so I cannot use hdparm. :)
Anyway, it is set to the highest supported by the hardware by default (max 16 pending requests/disk, but the OS itself of course has a way longer queue).
The issue is that rtorrent only does one I/O at a time, so you are basically limiting the performance to that of one disk (the one with the requested data) instead of to the whole stripe+zraid (which is in my cased at least 5x higher).
While this is not limiting if you have few active torrents (especially not if they fit in the RAM of the fileserver or torrent server) it is sort of an issue when you have 100 active torrents out of 600+ total.

I used to always use ruTorrent as my remote client of choice, very good imo.

Thanks for the suggestions, after fighting with macports for over an hour trying to get deluge installed on my mac, I went with transmission. Transmission, with the remote gui, works really well and lets me just "open with" on my mac and automagically download onto my server, and apart from some confusion over ubuntu putting config files in nonstandard places, installation was easy.

Non cheating, just rather inelegant.

I thought solaris died years ago.

ah i came across this thread a little late. i also run a mac at home and while i got deluge installed locally it kept freezing up and crashing. i have found excellent results with though with my seedboxes/servers running with Deluge Web Gui versus the aforementioned rTorrent which the Web Gui of that always froze up.
i am really curious about trying the transmission on a server. i have only used that on my mac itself in the past.
