UI Error Message presentation

[beadon1]

Type: Feature Request

Summary

Inform the UI user that the rtorrent configuration needs to be tuned to work properly.

Idea of implementation

I think the rtorrent default xmlrpc size limit is causing a lot of weird errors for everyone, impacting the adoption rate of the less tech savvy. It took me a long time to figure out that rtorrent needed to be configured with tunables to improve communication with Flood.

Can I request that the UI report some kind of error to the user to tune this parameter if it's not set ?

A stretch goal for this is to include a "Log" location from the UI so that a tail of the last series of error messages are visible. Some kind of 'log browser' might solve a lot of other issues too.

You're right, ruTorrent does that.
