Bittorrent deamon/webinterface

by rullzer on Nov.10, 2007, under Gentoo, Linux

So my server does his job quite well. Serving files for the network. Acting as a rsync mirror for the network. Downloading my usenet stuf. But I decided to expand its function a bit more. So I compiled transmission (which is in portage) compiled it with daemon support but no graphical interface. Since well what do I need that for? After that I downloaded torrentflux. A nice webbased interface.

You can just follow the instruction in the package to get it running. Quite simple actually.

Now the main use of this is so I can download some torrents every once in a while wihtout having a full blow torrent client running on my laptop. Plus now I can help out the gentoo community a little more by seeding some gentoo stuf. Always nice to do that to.

way back when, I used azureus for my torrenting goodness. I installed azureus awhile ago and installed the webui plugin, configured it all to download and watch directories (much like how may sabnzbd is set up) and startup in console mode.

I wrote a half-assed init script for it (doesn’t kill the process properly so I have to do that by hand) and moved everything to /var/lib/azureus/ to run under azureus:azureus.

azureus’s exactly a small program, but the UI=”console” saves memory by not loading up all the swt stuff. A friend of mine told me there were better ways of doing this; however, my way works for the most part and I use torrents so little now, it isn’t worth it.

Enjoy,
