Bittorent black box
Hi,

I would like to use my server as bittorent client and maybe tracker later.
I would like to have a web interface but I could also develop it myself
later.

I saw, qbittorent and hrktorrent that looks good. I don't know any
features of the last one.
What would you recommend to use?

thanks
Laurent

I use Vuze (formerly Azureus) with VNC, and I control it with its web
interface when I'm not inside my LAN:

http://azureus.sourceforge.net/plugin_details.php?plugin=webui

It's a little bloated, but it runs perfectly in my Atom powered
server, and it certainly has all the features a Torrent client can
have.

I use rtorrent and ssh, sure there is no web interface but it's the best
torrent client I know of. =)

Actually, I DO wanna use Vuze, but thanks. I used rtorrent years ago;
maybe I will give it a try again. However, I don't see in their
homepage that it supports automatic download of torrents through an
RSS feed with regexp filters, like Vuze actually does.

For me, that's the killer feature of Vuze.

I stand corrected: the RSS utilities where hidden in the 3rd party
utilities link from the libtorrent (not rtorrent) page.

http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/UtilsList

It looks interesting; maybe I will try it again.

I'd recommend net-p2p/deluge (http://deluge-torrent.org/).
It has all the features I ever wanted and its written in Python using
libtorrent as engine.

It runs as a non-ui daemon to which you can connect clients via network.
Existing clients are: console, web and gtk+.

I start the daemon and a web client on my server, and connect ether via
web or with the gtk-ui :)

It has no build-in tracker, but I recommend using a public one anyway
(for example http://openbittorrent.com/).

Bye,
Daniel

would be better performance wise to launch it as a daemon?

my server is doing other stuff at same time.

yes I was interested by deluge also. I also read about BTG that seems
very good.
I installed rtorrent with the default flags, no daemon, will see how it
work with ssh first.

Hi,

I use Deluge. Server works a a daemon, there is a web interface, a GTK
one, and a console one.
Pretty configurable, stable, I used rtorrent for some time (with
screen), but I think Deluge is much more enjoyable to use.

Re: Bittorent black box [In reply to]
+1 for deluge, being for server (with web interface, the ajax interface is
great) or just for desktop. The pre-made gentoo daemon for deluge is also
very well made so you will have less job to do to get it working.

I first tried rtorrent but I think this software has many bugs. Even though
I adjusted the global_max_downloads, rtorrent kept downloading unlimited
torrents simultaneously which is unacceptable. also rtorrent for a strange
reason stops downloading/uploading after some weeks in my case, this has
never happened with deluge to me, and the same session is running for 1
month now non-stop.

Also I think rtorrent needs a better ncurses interface. It is a pain
changing config parameters live, and generally working on it without
plugging in a web interface. Even console versions of transmission and
deluge are better than rtorrent.

In the old times that I used Azureus it was rock stable, I am happy to see
someone still using it. I want to try the new vuze some time.

When transmission adds option for max simultaneous downloads/uploads , it
will be worth checking out as well, right now it is so incomplete.

Re: Bittorent black box [In reply to]
I just installed delunge and it is very simple. You have to add a
username to the config file, change the boolean for the webGUI to true,
and start the init script.

So after a month using torrentflux I will try now delunge for a month.
While torrentflux gets installed as a webApp into apache, delunge is
independet of apache - but I wonder how to integrate delunge into apache?
