		<description><![CDATA[I discovered some error logs that indicated I was hitting the limit for concurrent open files. Increasing the limit is actually very easy. Check the current system-wide limit: $ cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max To increase this to 65535 we would do (as root): $ echo "65535" &#62; /proc/sys/fs/file-max If you want this new value to survive across [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Testing the Bittorrent CLI client I noticed an error &#8220;can&#8217;t load fastresume data&#8221;. This was forcing it to rescan the entire data before resuming the torrent &#8211; even if nothing had changed since the previous run.
