Thanks Naq! Followed your guide and all worked well! Linux Seedbox Hooray!


However, I have a question regarding How-To upgrading or downgrading utorrent version.

I accidentally downloaded and used Utorrent 1.8Beta on the seedbox, vnc, fluxbox and utorrent works perfectly following your guide. But some torrent sites ban beta version of utorrent. Hence I would like to downgrade to version 1.7.7. How do I do that safely and retain all torrent settings, seeded torrents etc?

Is it like:
1. Shutdown currently running utorrent.
2. Goto Xterm or putty to command line and type:
$ wget http://download.utorrent.com/1.7.7/utorrent.exe
Replace/Overwrite previous utorrent.exe.
3. Log back into vnc session, and just restart utorrent (as I have already set the flux box menu with "[exec] (uTorrent) {wine ~/utorrent.exe}"

Is this correct? Or do I need to kill the VNC server as well?

Cheers.

Great tutorial, Thank you.

Oh, since the utorrent 1.8 is out, to install 1.8, do I just need to
wget utorrent 1.8 and install webui in same way?

I didn't get an answer so i tested it out. Yup, to upgrade or downgrade your utorrent version, just follow the steps i mentioned in post#134.

Just shutdown utorrent, no need to kill the vncserver.
Then wget the utorrent version you want overwriting the previous utorrent.exe. Alternatively, you can rename the previous version first, and then wget the newer/older version you want.

Then just start-up utorrent again in your vnc session.

All your loaded torrents and previous utorrent settings will be retained and loaded in the newer utorrent you downloaded. As long as you don't touch anything in the application data/utorrent folder under your profile in the .wine folder.

Just simple as that.

Alternatively you can also download the utorrent you want to your pc, then upload it to the seedbox via ftp.

Hope this helps

so we can connect a linux server with vnc like windows remote connection right?
