The broken part is the error message, should start with d14 not d1, according to the rtorrent guru.

Regarding uploading, what is strange is that I can easily be seeding 20 or more torrents as long as I started as a leecher and don't close them! It's only if I try to reopen an already complete download that I've closed that I get denied -- typically to try to help out a stranded leecher. So it's sort of inconsistent, and I was very confused until the rtorrent guys sorted me out.

I find that when I host many torrents (and I do have a fat pipe, 5Mb uplink) they don't share the bandwidth evenly, one or a few will be very active for a while, then some others will pick up. I suspect I would be uploading less with less torrents open since those lulls would be empty. I haven't observed any particular problems seeding 20 or more torrents with rtorrent but maybe it's a bad practice.

Many thanks for running a great site!
