+.PP
+\fBrtorrent\fR is a BitTorrent client for ncurses,

+memory, in milliseconds.
+.TP

+opens and closes files when mapping files to memory. Defaults to 128.
+.TP
+\fBmax_open_sockets = \fIvalue\fB\fR

+not allow connections to UDP trackers.
+.TP
+\fBenable_trackers = \fIyes\fB\fR
+Set to \fBno\fR to disable tracker requests.
+.TP
+\fBtracker_dump = \fIfilename\fB\fR
+Dump tracker requests to \fBfilename\fR, disable by
+supplying an empty string. Only torrents loaded while
+\fBtracker_dump\fR contains a non-empty string will be
+logged at the moment, although disabling it will work as expected.
+.TP
+\fBtos = \fIdefault|lowdelay|throughput|reliability|mincost\fB\fR
+Change the TOS of peer connections, by default set to
+\fBthroughput\fR\&. If the option is set to
+\fBdefault\fR then the system default TOS is used.
