+## rTorrent
+
+This service displays the global upload and download rates, as well as the number of torrents
+listed in rTorrent. The service communicates with the rTorrent XML-RPC interface which needs
+to be accessible from the browser. Please consult
+[the instructions](https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent-doc/blob/master/RPC-Setup-XMLRPC.md)
+for setting up rTorrent and make sure the correct CORS-settings are applied. Examples for various
+servers can be found at https://enable-cors.org/server.html.
+
+```yaml
+- name: "rTorrent"
+  logo: "assets/tools/sample.png"
+  url: "http://192.168.0.151" # Your rTorrent web UI, f.e. ruTorrent or Flood.
+  xmlrpc: "http://192.168.0.151:8081" # Reverse proxy for rTorrent's XML-RPC.
+  type: "Rtorrent"
+  rateInterval: 5000 # Interval for updating the download and upload rates.
+  torrentInterval: 60000 # Interval for updating the torrent count.
+  username: "username" # Username for logging into rTorrent (if applicable).
+  password: "password" # Password for logging into rTorrent (if applicable).
+

 ## Proxmox
 
 This service displays status information of a Proxmox node (VMs running and disk, memory and cpu used). It uses the proxmox API and [API Tokens](https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pveum-plain.html) for authorization so you need to generate one to set in the yaml config. You can set it up in Proxmox under Permissions > API Tokens. You also need to know the realm the user of the API Token is assigned to (by default pam).
