Thanx for a quick fix.
Applied your patch and dstat is working again 
Since dstat is terminated maybe could the fork Dool be included in next version of system tools?
After upgrading to LE 11 dstat no longer works. Other utils from the same addon are ok.
Any ideas how to fix this?

Cannot find it in addons available for installation, but there seem to be some leftovers from previous versions in Kodi addons folder:

Solved
One of the connectors had a little oxidized contacts.
It seems realtek driver does not report correctly speed, bad/ dropped frames or anything.
LE even boots faster, before systemd log was showing 15s wait for network service, now only 3s.
Thx, I'll try another cable.
Wouldn't in case of bad cable NIC connect at 100Mbps or show some errors/dropped frames?
Old MBO had similar realtek, was using the same r8169 driver under LE 8.2.5 and was running fine for years. Too bad that j4105 doesn't work with older LE.
Perhaps it's time to pull the cable out of the wall and replace it
Included as module?
Didn't find it in /lib
Took me a while to find the correct initcall string to append, here it is for reference: initcall_blacklist=rtl8169_pci_driver_init
No network after blacklisting the r8169 driver 
I could, but does LE have another driver for this NIC?
Other linux distributions (ubuntu) can compile proprietary r8168 from repository that should work with some hardware.
I don't know if this is available in LE.
Last night NIC suddenly started working full speed. This morning again gets only to 100Mbps
New hardware, Asrock J4105-ITX - Intel gemini lake SOC
NIC reports Gb speed but all transfers are only at 100Mbps.
ifconfig shows no dropped frames, everything looks ok.
Around 10m CAT5e cable, worked fine with previous HTPC.
Tried another router, doesn't help.
According to some google results blacklisting r8169 module could help but as it seems LE has it built into the kernel
Any ideas?

iperf Done.There is no legacy boot in newer intel gemini lake MBOs.
I was hoping someone tried fiddling with the bootloader and EFI, but didn't find any good guide.
It is the long way then - backup, nuke everything and reinstall. Reminds me of the times when I used windows
Thx for the reply.
Old AMD based HTPC, single 1TB drive, I think it is legacy only boot, made with LE USB stick installer, running LE 8.2.5 generic x64.
Need to switch the old AMD with new intel gemini lake board which is supposedly UEFI only.
I would like to migrate existing LE installation, preferably without any data loss
Can I just swap the board or is it not going to boot?

Thanks for the quick response.
I'll try swapping the cables and ports. It's an older AMD APU based HTPC with the failing HDD, no BIOS updates. I don't know if it is SATA problem, there are no errors in dmesg. no lowering SATA link speeds, it just waits for Godot for 2 mins
This HDD is advanced fromat (4kB blocks), maybe the kernel is having trouble with it. Too bad it doesn't output anything in that interval at 8-143s mark. Looks like I have a lot of googleing to do
Hi,
I have a small problem wih slow booting
Fresh install via USB creator on new HDD in my HTPC, Libreelec now boots over 2 minutes.
On previous older HDD it was much faster to boot.
Any ideas how to debug this?

Until now, i managed torrent file downloads from private trackers by hand or by using external tools (RSS,...) . I used the old, now unsupported rtorrent libreelec addon with the default functionality:
Porting that functionality into vanilla rtorrent proved time consuming.
It's probably time to try something new
IMHO, stay with transmission if it is working ok.
RAM usage depends on how many torrents you have and other factors. In my experience, all 3 are good clients accepted by most trackers. rtorrent is very powerful client but pain in the a... to set up but. I have been trying for two days to set up automatic moving of files according to labels and it just doesn't work on libreelec
Qbittorrent is in the middle and transmission is the simplest. Qbt and transmission also have fewer options in WebUI than standalone client.
Don't know about integration, I don't use the mentioned programs.
OE rTorrent/ruTorrent is unmaintained and quite convoluted, I therefore started from scratch.
Moreover, I do not use rTorrent/ruTorrent, I therefore need you to tell me what you need and how it works.
I hope you will be able to fix your problem.
If you do, tell me how, and I will update the add-on accordingly.
Thx again for packaging rtorrent, I'l try to configure it for my needs. Not an easy task considering the documentation is sparse and you have to hunt for config examples all over the net
If I find anything useful, will post here.
Thoradia, first thank you for hard work putting this repo together.
I'm trying to migrate my rtorrent and active torrents from the old openelec/libreelec unofficial repo install.
Have a couple of problems with it: timezone is hardcoded somewhere and off by one hour, rutorrent scheduler does not work properly,...
The problem is, the old addon doesn't use rtorrent.rc but passes all the config as parameters when starting rtorrent.
I have currently both addons installed (only one active at a time) and confirmed working.
So, the steps for me to migrate my torrents i guess would be:
- translate all the settings from old addon XML to new rtorrent.rc
- copy the session files
- stop the old service, start a new one and hope for the best
Problem is old addon has one option that I don't know how to port to new vanilla rtorrent: "Sort Series in Season Dirs".
I have that option enabled due to Kodi scraper sometimes having problems with a certain filenames not being recognized. And the download dir is also nice and tidy.
I figured out it uses some custom shell script (complete.sh) which does all the work.
Found this on github, perhaps it's the same thing?
Will have to try if it all works, am worried if the new rtorrent would pick up the series that are in sorted folders.
escalade, first, thanks for the great build.
How complicated would it be to build a standalone nfs3 addon?
Stumbled upon this thread while searching for it, but your build has it built in.
Cloned your repo and tried bulding it all but am getting this on the package htop:
checking for curses.h... yes
configure: error: missing libraries: libncurses
Makefile:12: recipe for target 'image' failed
make: *** [image] Error 1I'm building this on xubuntu 16.04., libncurses-dev is installed, but it is a metapackage which installs libncurses5-dev. Also installed libncursesw5-dev but still doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Next I pulled unfs3 from the official svn, built it and it works fine on my libreelec v7.0.3 if started manually.
Next step would be systemd unit and then to package it all into usable addon.
