rTorrent 0.9 Comprehensive Command list (WIP)

Comprehensive list of rTorrent 0.9 commands

Use of the deprecated commands is highly discouraged as those commands are subject to removal at any time.

The type column indicates whether it is a variable or a command. You can use ^x (Ctrl+x) to open the command input box and either enter a command like directory.default.set=/some/path or you can print the value of a variable to see what the current setting for a command is, like print=$directory.default=

Note: To print a variable, you have to include the equal sign at the end.

Many variables can also be used as commands, however commands are not intended to be used as variables.
