Installing uTorrent on a Leeware
Updates
11-Apr: Added a bit of information on speed issues
3-Apr: Added a few more things on how to install uTorrent on a Leaseweb server.
TONS of people have been PMing me lately to set up their Leeware boxes, so I guess I should just post a guide on how to do it ;) This guide is intended for Leeware servers only, but it may work with other servers running RPM based distributions (aka distros) as well. Firstly, you need to get the following applications:
Putty (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/%7Esgtatham/putty/download.html) or any other SSH client
FTP Client (with SFTP support) like CuteFTP, WinSCP, WS_FTP, etc.
TightVNC (http://www.tightvnc.com/) or any other VNC ViewerNow, follow instructions carefully.
Open up Putty. On the left tree, go to Session.
Under Hostname (or IP address) type your IP or hostname (i.e. vpsxxx.leeware.com)
Choose SSH (port 22)
Under Saved Sessions, type something like "My Leeware Box" and press Save. (Later on, you can just load the session, so you don't have to do the previous steps again)
Press Open.
Now, a black screen should come up (terminal/command prompt).
Enter your root account details - (username, password)
Notice, when you type in the password, nothing appears on the screen! That's not a bug - it's normal. Btw, you can also paste the password by right click (again, putty won't display anything on screen).
At this point, you should be logged on. Yay, we can install some stuff now.
Type yum -y install xterm wine vnc-server to install those 3 apps: xterm (a GUI terminal), wine (to emulate windows), and VNC server (to allow you to remote control your server with a GUI).
After a while, you should see that those 3 apps are installed.
Download uTorrent onto your server. Type wget http://download.utorrent.com/1.6.1/utorrent.exe
Start VNC server, type vncserver :1
Enter any password of your choice for the VNC server.
Now, VNC server should be started. So, you can login with VNC viewer (which you installed on YOUR PC).
The server address is: :1 or :1. (e.g. vps778.leeware.com:1)
Now, a desktop should appear with a terminal/command prompt on the top left hand corner.
Run uTorrent. Type wine utorrent.exe.
w00t! uTorrent should be up and running now. Also, you should go to preferences and change the settings to whatever you want. :DBut, what about webUI? Well, you can install the WebUI through SSH, but since lots of people asked me about how to get files from their box to their HDD, I'll just teach you how to do it using SFTP.
On uTorrent, go to preferences and on the side tree, go to Advanced >> WebUI - tick Enable Web Interface and also, put your desired username and password for the webUI.
I also recommend putting an alternative port (8080 is fine).
Now, use your FTP client and login to your server. Put SFTP as the mode, put in the hostname/IP and port should be the default 22.
Boom! You should see all the files in your server now.
Browse to /root/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/root/Application Data/uTorrent/
Get WebUI (http://download.utorrent.com/beta/webui_v0.310_beta_2.rar) and extract webui.zip. Now, transfer webui.zip to the directory that I specified above (through SFTP of course). Btw, you usually just to drag and drop the file.
Voila! WebUI is installed.:yahoo:
But, where is it, where's the WebUI?
Go to http://hostname:port/gui/ (http://hostname/gui/) with your browser and login with your chosen username and password.
For example: http://vpsxxx.leeware.com:8080/gui/
More Frequently Asked Questions
Will uTorrent still run if I close VNC and Putty?
Yeah, it will still run. VNC and Putty is just to control your server.
How do I add torrents to the WebUI?
Well, that's simple - just press the (+) button on the WebUI. :) Alternatively, you might want to get this firefox extension (http://thinkpond.org/content/view/13/32/) so you can just drag and drop links from torrent sites.
Yeah, so I get all this. But how do I download stuff from the box to my server?
Use FTP. When you installed the WebUI, you're basically uploading webui.zip on to the server. Here, you do the reverse (Yeah, you can drag and drop).
GRRR! I'm getting slow speeds! What do I do? NEW!
If you used the speed guide on uTorrent and set it to xxx/100mbps, you should be getting the maximum speeds out of your leeware. You have to also remember that speeds depend on the torrent as well (I suggest you check peers list to see others' speeds). Other than that, I HAVE NO CLUE ON HOW TO IMPROVE THE SPEED (please don't PM me about this). Live with it, or if you're getting ridiculously low speeds then email lee.
OMG, Where does uTorrent save the files?
Wherever you set it to in Preferences. The default is /root/. (There's nothing wrong with the default directory btw, you don't need to change it.)
Sh*t, my server just crashed and WebUI ain't running anymore, what do I do?
Well, it's a simple process. Just login to your server using Putty. Type vncserver :1 to run VNC server again. Login to the VNC server using VNC viewer, and run uTorrent from the terminal - wine utorrent.exe. Now, everything should be fine. (For people who are more 1337 with Linux, if you want you can edit the VNC start up file (on ~/.vnc/ to run uTorrent automatically when VNC starts to make life easier).
How do I run Firefox and do other stuff on the server?
This guide is only for installing uTorrent and plus, on a Leeware, there's really no point installing Firefox and other applications because it's so slow (you get what you pay for).
What!!!?? There are no screenshots!!!
Yeah, not at the moment. I might add some later on.
Will you be making a guide for installing TorrentFlux, rTorrent, and etc?
No, IMO uTorrent is highly superior to the other clients. The WebUI is sexy ;)
I tried this on a Leaseweb Express server but it doesn't work.
Yeah, leaseweb servers doesn't have SFTP. The installation process is a bit more complicated. First, you need to add a repository (like RPMForge (http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories/RPMForge)) which contains: xterm, wine, vnc-server and etc. You also need to install fonts (msttcorefonts) and you'd need to install WebUI by using wget and unrar (not built-in you need to install this as well). You might also want to install an FTP server (proftpd), you would also need to configure it after it's installed.
I read all of this, but I'm still stuck...
I am afraid you're just too much of a n00b to use a Linux Server - get Windows!!
LOL Just joking, you can PM me (with your AIM/MSN/YAHOO, etc. preferably), and I'll see what I can do.
P.S. This guide might contain some errors - so feel free to comment and give feedback.
-------------------------------
Thanks for reading :D

lol, fwiw, Ktorrent is a good native linux alternative to utorrent under wine, so long as you don't use Opera to look at the webui (because this was causing me quite a bit of headache as it seems to crash ktorrent)
Posted by: Leecher101
Great so far. Very much look forward to seeing it once it's fully complete. Time to install uT under wine instead of Torrentflux now.
Posted by: Buggyme
I think it's done now.
Someone try it and see if there's anything wrong.
I might have missed a step or maybe I haven't explained something clearly.
Enjoy.

mm, what's the problem?
Posted by: joyntkid
HIGH FIVE!! i might try reinstalling mine by myself now :)
btw, you can get bigger than a 20GB HDD.
just e-mail them and ask. i think it was 100GB HDD.
pretty good deal, but i would probably crash the server too much trying to run too many torrents at once.
Posted by: Buggyme
A friend of mine did ask, but they didn't allow it if I'm not mistaken.
Posted by: joyntkid
wow, i just realized this was uTorrent, not torrentflux.
gonna have to try this after tonight (thats my 24,PB server)
i was offered 60GB for $25, just the same memory as $15 plan.
also, they have 4 100GB plans that i was offered, each with more RAM starting at 384MB and $50/month.
Posted by: Buggyme
Hmm, interesting :) The 60GB plan looks good.

I had just started attempting to set up my server when I found this. Saved me a lot more headaches. Worked perfectly.

Has anyone else tried this? Someone has gotten some errors so be careful!!!

That problem is fixed now :)
Posted by: cyadron
Thanks for the tutorial. I am sure it will help a lot of people. For future improovements, a repository detailed explanation would do good :). Also i think there's a typo... at step 10: "and VNC server (to allow you to remove control your server with a GUI)." i think is to "remote control". A job well done.

Type yum -y install xterm wine vnc-server to install those 3 apps
do we have to upload vnc-server on the server's root first b4 editing that command !!
or just that command to prepare the server to receive the vnc-viewer logging !

When you run that command, FC6 should download those applications from the repository (basically an online program database) and then install them. No need to download them yourself.

hmm,nice shoot mate
btw we need how to set up torrentFlux easy ,wonderful php one
honestly the guide i read to setup T.F deadly to do with a basic info about Linux :unsure:
Posted by: iStix
Thanks BuggyMe You're the best... ;)
Posted by: Buggyme
I don't like TF much mainly because:
- You can't partial seed a file.
- Interface is worse than uTorrent WebUI's.
- People say that Wine is a resource hog, but really, bittornado uses just as much resources as Wine and uTorrent.
- And uTorrent has way more features...
The only advantage is probably, it allows multiple users - but that's about it.

I get some errors when opening uTorrent. Is fixing this as simple as installing libGL? Yum -y install libGL isn't the right command. uTorrent runs fine, I'm just missing parts of the window border.

You don't need to do anything. uTorrent should start up anyways. If not, you can PM me with your MSN and I'll try and see what's going on.

Yeah, it runs fine and the WebUI looks sexy. Thanks for all the help Buggy! :)

After extracting the webui.zip and copying the new webui.zip to the appdata/utorrent folder I try to open vpsxxx.leeware.com:8080/ui/ in my browser but only recieve the message: invalid request. Any ideas on what might be wrong?
Posted by: RTFM
It should be vpsxxx.leeware.com:8080/gui/
Posted by: Demonikus
Sorry, that was just a typo. I'm receiving the error with vpsxxx.leeware.com:8080/gui/
Edit: I changed the port to 16000 in both utorrent options and my browser and now it's working. I guess it didn't like 8080 for some reason.
Posted by: RTFM
I assume you are replacing the x's with your server's numbers. Try restarting uTorrent through VNC.

How do you connect with SFTP using FlashFXP? I have been using this program for years and for the life of me I cant figure out how to connect to my leeware server using SFTP. I tried WS-FTP and CuteFTP but I dont really care for either of those and would like to stick with FlashFXP if possible.....
Thanks!
Posted by: RTFM
Apparently Flash FXP doesn't support SFTP. I recommend WS_FTP, works well for me.
Posted by: Cobra98
Why the slow transfer speeds to Leeware? I am trying to fxp from fast 100mbit sites and it transfers pretty slow, I seen 200k max, mostly 50-100k....
Posted by: Temp2007
any program to create torrents utorrent doesn't work for me..
resolved problem :naughty:

Installing uTorrent on a Leeware
Updates
3-Apr: Added a few more things on how to install uTorrent on a Leaseweb server.
TONS of people have been PMing me lately to set up their Leeware boxes, so I guess I should just post a guide on how to do it ;) This guide is intended for Leeware servers only, but it may work with other servers running RPM based distributions (aka distros) as well. Firstly, you need to get the following applications:
Putty (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/%7Esgtatham/putty/download.html) or any other SSH client
FTP Client (with SFTP support) like CuteFTP, WinSCP, WS_FTP, etc.
TightVNC (http://www.tightvnc.com/) or any other VNC ViewerNow, follow instructions carefully.
Open up Putty. On the left tree, go to Session.
Under Hostname (or IP address) type your IP or hostname (i.e. vpsxxx.leeware.com)
Choose SSH (port 22)
Under Saved Sessions, type something like "My Leeware Box" and press Save. (Later on, you can just load the session, so you don't have to do the previous steps again)
Press Open.
Now, a black screen should come up (terminal/command prompt).
Enter your root account details - (username, password)
Notice, when you type in the password, nothing appears on the screen! That's not a bug - it's normal. Btw, you can also paste the password by right click (again, putty won't display anything on screen).
At this point, you should be logged on. Yay, we can install some stuff now.
Type yum -y install xterm wine vnc-server to install those 3 apps: xterm (a GUI terminal), wine (to emulate windows), and VNC server (to allow you to remove control your server with a GUI).
After a while, you should see that those 3 apps are installed.
Download uTorrent onto your server. Type wget http://download.utorrent.com/1.6.1/utorrent.exe
Start VNC server, type vncserver :1
when i type vncserver:1
i get msg:
-bash: vncserver:1: command not found
wot to do?? pls reply quick

is it possibale you would take a video or post screen shots of how you do it.

Apparently Flash FXP doesn't support SFTP. I recommend WS_FTP, works well for me.
Hmmm, I didn't know that I thought it did.
I think I'm actually wrong on that. The information I found is like a year old, so support has probably been added since.

Ahh well, I removed it from the list of FTP clients I said in the guide, just in case.
Posted by: Xaeron
I have FlashFXP 3.2.0 build 1080
When you connect / set up a server to connect to you can choose: Standard (No SSL), Auth SSL, Auth TLS or Implicit SSL.
Neither of those worked, couldn't connect to leeware box.
However, I downloaded WinSCP which is free and it worked fine.
EDIT:
It seems the newest version is 3.4, 3.2 being the version before that. However, I cannot seem to locate any info about whether it now supports SFTP or not... at least I couldn't find anything referring to that in the changelog history.

why do i always get connection time out at my utorrent webui.??
any idea..?
Posted by: Buggyme
It just happens from time to time. It's probably because uTorrent is using up too much resources and/or bandwidth.
Posted by: Pelorus
Maybe someone know why my upload speed on the seedbox is very slow.
It is usually about 20-50 kb/s , the record was about 200 kb/s.
I am seeding 4 torrents:
(seeders, leechers)
75/29
47/2
67/92
137/21
the download speed is fine about 5-6 mb/s

I heard from most leeware users that they get around 2mb/s or so. You should email them if you keep getting those low speeds.

What is the number of seeders and leechers? If you are trying to seed an unpopular torrent, or there are too many seeders and the leechers won't accept data from you, you won't have high upload speed no matter who the provider is.

Even when I download file to my computer the speed is sucked, the torrent are popular you can see the seeders/leechers in my previous post in the thread
they send me now this test:
1. 100Mbps Connection = 20.96Mbps
2. 10Mbps Connection = 6.4Mbps
3. 6Mbps Connection = 4.0Mbps
I need to check it with someone
Posted by: RTFM
Sorry, didn't see you post the seeder/leecher ratios above. All of those except one have more seeders than leechers, which isn't exactly the desirable ratio if you're trying to seed. Look for new torrents with only a few seeders and high leechers, you might see higher speeds.

I pm buggyman file from my seedbox and he download in about 30 kb/s
I send them email , maybe now they will solve me the problem
update: email from them :
Being that this is an unamanaged service your friend will have to help your resolve the problem -- I have already indicated that I can download files from your server at 2-4Mbps which is 200K-600K even 800K

I prefer using x11vnc as the VNC server. Presumably, it would use less CPU/RAM than a normal VNC server because it uses an existing X session instead of starting a new one. That is assuming that there is already an X session running, which I am not certain of with leeware.
Posted by: Buggyme
Nope, I don't think an existing X session would be running by default on a VPS server.
Posted by: maxrebo
Nope, I don't think an existing VNC server would be running by default on a VPS server.
Not an existing VNC server, an existing X session. As in, even a Gnome or KDE login screen that already exists. By your instructions of connecting to X display :1, I assume that an X display :0 already exists. Then, you might be able to save some ram by connecting to the existing :0 using x11vnc instead of starting a :1 with a normal VNC server.

Hehe, yeah sorry that's what I meant. Just typed it wrong :P
Edited my post now.
And yeah, on a Leeware, they basically installed FC6 on server mode, not desktop mode, so they don't have any X session running - no KDE/GNOME.

thats a greate guide ...
thanks,
Posted by: DVito
just a few questions:
1. which leeware plan was this done on? do you think things would work alright with $15 plan? (384mb ram)
2. has lee ever said anything about torrenting? i would think that because of this thread he has many torrenters..
Posted by: OmaRin0
great guide
thx
Posted by: Pelorus
I can't access to my seedbox only today some1 has this problem either ?
Posted by: RTFM
Hmm, I just logged in via SSH and VNC. It's possible that your server crashed. Email Lee, he will check it out.

If you have very slow downloads when FTP'ing large *.iso or *.avi files and muti-part downloading doesn't work within your client then here's a way to speed up your downloads using Lxsplit (HJsplit compatible).
Log into your machine using putty
Type wget http://www.freebyte.com/download/lxsplit.tar.gz
Type tar xzf lxsplit.tar.gz
Type cd /root/lxsplit-0.1.1
Type make
Type make installYou have now successfully installed Lxsplit. To use lxsplit you cd to the directory your large file is located and split. So if that large file is in root then you would type cd /root in putty. To split the file into 10MB pieces you would issue the follow command lxsplit -s largeassfile.iso 10M. Now just set your max concurrent transfers in your FTP client to something like 20 or more and download all the .001, .002, etc files.
To join the files back together HJSplit (google it) and join the file.
Posted by: Ecca
Leecher101 if the file is in a folder in root we type cd /root/foldername ? and can you explain what exactly cd / root does?
Posted by: RTFM
CD stands for current directory,and that's what it does. /root/foldername is the path you are tying to go to.
Posted by: Ecca
Okay, thank you. Simple enough. I'll edit with my results.
Edit: Transferring a single 15meg rar I get less than 100kBps. Any suggestions?

damn..now leeware lowest package increase to usd20..

damn..now leeware lowest package increase to usd20..
My paypal subscription is still at $15, so I wonder if I'm locked in at that price or if it just wasn't updated. :unsure:
Posted by: Buggyme
1. which leeware plan was this done on? do you think things would work alright with $15 plan? (384mb ram)
2. has lee ever said anything about torrenting? i would think that because of this thread he has many torrenters..
1. It should work on all plans.
2. Not that I know of.

I cant :(, try runing Putty and sayme: network eror: connection refused :(
please helpme
Posted by: pfdez
Now, follow instructions carefully.
Open up Putty. On the left tree, go to Session.
Under Hostname (or IP address) type your IP or hostname (i.e. vpsxxx.leeware.com)
Choose SSH (port 22)
Under Saved Sessions, type something like "My Leeware Box" and press Save. (Later on, you can just load the session, so you don't have to do the previous steps again)
Press Open.
Now, a black screen should come up (terminal/command prompt).
Enter your root account details - (username, password)
Notice, when you type in the password, nothing appears on the screen! That's not a bug - it's normal. Btw, you can also paste the password by right click (again, putty won't display anything on screen).
At this point, you should be logged on. Yay, we can install some stuff now.
Type yum -y install xterm wine vnc-server to install those 3 apps: xterm (a GUI terminal), wine (to emulate windows), and VNC server (to allow you to remote control your server with a GUI).
After a while, you should see that those 3 apps are installed.
Download uTorrent onto your server. Type wget http://download.utorrent.com/1.6.1/utorrent.exe
Start VNC server, type vncserver :1
Enter any password of your choice for the VNC server.
Now, VNC server should be started. So, you can login with VNC viewer (which you installed on YOUR PC).
The server address is: :1 or :1. (e.g. vps778.leeware.com:1
Here i have the problem, when im trying to connect with the vnc, show mw this error ( Failed to connect to listening vnc viewer)... what do you think it could be ?? thanks...
Posted by: Buggyme
Mmm, connect to listening VNC viewer?
You're connecting to a VNC server! You used the wrong app basically. You're supposed to use VNC VIEWER not VNC SERVER.

if the VM has frozen, but you can access it via Putty, you can do a restart by typing "shutdown -r now" in putty

Thanks a million for the guide Buggyme and for all those who contributed with helpful info.
Please if someone knows how to install winrar/unrar/rar whatever on leeware and HOW TO USE IT please write here because many people need to know that.
I searched the Fedora forums. They talk about downloading something to your desktop (where the hell is the desktop on linux?!!!) and about something called fileroller! and something called the human genome or whatever!!!
please I am a n00b, I don't wanna learn linux and FC6 now, I just want to unrar files on my leeware
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Posted by: Eazil
For unrar files:
-¨yum install unrar.i386¨ (if this don't work put yum search unrar and you look the name and put yum install thename normally is unrar.i386).
-go to the directory of the files
-put: ¨unrar e thenameofthefile.r00¨ (the first name of the rar),
and the file is in these directory.

But right now I can't connect to Leeware, my seedbox responds to pings, but I can't access it via Putty.
I'm not going with Leeware again, ok you get what you pay, but I'm only getting crashed and unavailable server..:shutup:
I think Lee's network it's overloaded

Posted by: jebidiah
Yeah I just tried the "shutdown -r now" and now Im stuck too. I was actually stuck before and I had them restart the server, but utorrent was not responding and I wasnt getting anywhere. So I tried the reboot and Im getting " network error: connection timeout". any thoughts?

just ask them to restart the server

so i started the first vncserver, but i coudln't get the terminal
i started naother vncserver :2, and i'm now using this to use my seedbox
question is, how does one close a vncserver?
Posted by: dieudesorcs
to close a vncserver, you just go in putty :
vncserver -kill :x
where x is the port of the vncserver you want to close.
Me, i'm running to vncserver : on the first i launch utorrent with wine and in the second firefox. So i don"t have to mind about windows manager

Ok probably a stupid question but how do you stop the utorrent logger. It keeps logging everything from the webgui. Is this just a cache set to a certain size that will just keep overwritting itself or is gonna clutter up my box. I could probably disable it if I was able to right click, but I don't know if this is just linux (I'm a noob to linux) or there is something I need to do to enable it. Any help would be great. Other than that been working great for 3 days which I wouldn't have been able to do without this tutorial.

If you want to free up some ram do this in putty:
service yum-updatesd stop
then
yum remove yum-updatesd
this removes the automatic update service which had 85MB of ram reserved on my system.
To see how much ram it takes on your machine type 'top' in putty an then type M (must be a capital M).
Look for yum-updatesd in the COMMAND column and then check the res column for the ram usage.

I hope it won't cause any trouble, I have all programs installed though so I don't need any updates.
BTW why should I remove it, If I never reboot my machine can I not just stop it?

Installing uTorrent on a Leeware
Updates
11-Apr: Added a bit of information on speed issues
3-Apr: Added a few more things on how to install uTorrent on a Leaseweb server.
TONS of people have been PMing me lately to set up their Leeware boxes, so I guess I should just post a guide on how to do it ;) This guide is intended for Leeware servers only, but it may work with other servers running RPM based distributions (aka distros) as well. Firstly, you need to get the following applications:
Putty (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/%7Esgtatham/putty/download.html) or any other SSH client
FTP Client (with SFTP support) like CuteFTP, WinSCP, WS_FTP, etc.
TightVNC (http://www.tightvnc.com/) or any other VNC ViewerNow, follow instructions carefully.
Open up Putty. On the left tree, go to Session.
Under Hostname (or IP address) type your IP or hostname (i.e. vpsxxx.leeware.com)
Choose SSH (port 22)
Under Saved Sessions, type something like "My Leeware Box" and press Save. (Later on, you can just load the session, so you don't have to do the previous steps again)
Press Open.
Now, a black screen should come up (terminal/command prompt).
Enter your root account details - (username, password)
Notice, when you type in the password, nothing appears on the screen! That's not a bug - it's normal. Btw, you can also paste the password by right click (again, putty won't display anything on screen).
At this point, you should be logged on. Yay, we can install some stuff now.
Type yum -y install xterm wine vnc-server to install those 3 apps: xterm (a GUI terminal), wine (to emulate windows), and VNC server (to allow you to remote control your server with a GUI).
After a while, you should see that those 3 apps are installed.
Download uTorrent onto your server. Type wget http://download.utorrent.com/1.6.1/utorrent.exe
Start VNC server, type vncserver :1
Enter any password of your choice for the VNC server.
Now, VNC server should be started. So, you can login with VNC viewer (which you installed on YOUR PC).
The server address is: :1 or :1. (e.g. vps778.leeware.com:1)
Now, a desktop should appear with a terminal/command prompt on the top left hand corner.
Run uTorrent. Type wine utorrent.exe.
w00t! uTorrent should be up and running now. Also, you should go to preferences and change the settings to whatever you want. :DBut, what about webUI? Well, you can install the WebUI through SSH, but since lots of people asked me about how to get files from their box to their HDD, I'll just teach you how to do it using SFTP.
On uTorrent, go to preferences and on the side tree, go to Advanced >> WebUI - tick Enable Web Interface and also, put your desired username and password for the webUI.
I also recommend putting an alternative port (8080 is fine).
Now, use your FTP client and login to your server. Put SFTP as the mode, put in the hostname/IP and port should be the default 22.
Boom! You should see all the files in your server now.
Browse to /root/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/root/Application Data/uTorrent/
Get WebUI (http://download.utorrent.com/beta/webui_v0.310_beta_2.rar) and extract webui.zip. Now, transfer webui.zip to the directory that I specified above (through SFTP of course). Btw, you usually just to drag and drop the file.
Voila! WebUI is installed.:yahoo:
But, where is it, where's the WebUI?
Go to http://hostname:port/gui/ (http://hostname/gui/) with your browser and login with your chosen username and password.
For example: http://vpsxxx.leeware.com:8080/gui/
More Frequently Asked Questions
Will uTorrent still run if I close VNC and Putty?
Yeah, it will still run. VNC and Putty is just to control your server.
How do I add torrents to the WebUI?
Well, that's simple - just press the (+) button on the WebUI. :) Alternatively, you might want to get this firefox extension (http://thinkpond.org/content/view/13/32/) so you can just drag and drop links from torrent sites.
Yeah, so I get all this. But how do I download stuff from the box to my server?
Use FTP. When you installed the WebUI, you're basically uploading webui.zip on to the server. Here, you do the reverse (Yeah, you can drag and drop).
GRRR! I'm getting slow speeds! What do I do? NEW!
If you used the speed guide on uTorrent and set it to xxx/100mbps, you should be getting the maximum speeds out of your leeware. You have to also remember that speeds depend on the torrent as well (I suggest you check peers list to see others' speeds). Other than that, I HAVE NO CLUE ON HOW TO IMPROVE THE SPEED (please don't PM me about this). Live with it, or if you're getting ridiculously low speeds then email lee.
OMG, Where does uTorrent save the files?
Wherever you set it to in Preferences. The default is /root/. (There's nothing wrong with the default directory btw, you don't need to change it.)
Sh*t, my server just crashed and WebUI ain't running anymore, what do I do?
Well, it's a simple process. Just login to your server using Putty. Type vncserver :1 to run VNC server again. Login to the VNC server using VNC viewer, and run uTorrent from the terminal - wine utorrent.exe. Now, everything should be fine. (For people who are more 1337 with Linux, if you want you can edit the VNC start up file (on ~/.vnc/ to run uTorrent automatically when VNC starts to make life easier).
How do I run Firefox and do other stuff on the server?
This guide is only for installing uTorrent and plus, on a Leeware, there's really no point installing Firefox and other applications because it's so slow (you get what you pay for).
What!!!?? There are no screenshots!!!
Yeah, not at the moment. I might add some later on.
Will you be making a guide for installing TorrentFlux, rTorrent, and etc?
No, IMO uTorrent is highly superior to the other clients. The WebUI is sexy ;)
I tried this on a Leaseweb Express server but it doesn't work.
Yeah, leaseweb servers doesn't have SFTP. The installation process is a bit more complicated. First, you need to add a repository (like RPMForge (http://wiki.centos.org/Repositories/RPMForge)) which contains: xterm, wine, vnc-server and etc. You also need to install fonts (msttcorefonts) and you'd need to install WebUI by using wget and unrar (not built-in you need to install this as well). You might also want to install an FTP server (proftpd), you would also need to configure it after it's installed.
I read all of this, but I'm still stuck...
I am afraid you're just too much of a n00b to use a Linux Server - get Windows!!
LOL Just joking, you can PM me (with your AIM/MSN/YAHOO, etc. preferably), and I'll see what I can do.
P.S. This guide might contain some errors - so feel free to comment and give feedback.

Thanks for reading :D

Just set this up, works fine on some trackers, not on others. i often get "HTTP error 403" on some trackers, eg. indietorrents.
Anyone else get this? anyway to fix it?
Posted by: redMonster
AFAIK, error 403 happens when the tracker has banned your IP range.
Posted by: BawA
this may not be the right thread but i have one question, most of trackers dont allow account sharing and downloading through the seedbox means different IP, isn't?
Posted by: Power75
this may not be the right thread but i have one question, most of trackers dont allow account sharing and downloading through the seedbox means different IP, isn't?
You should check the faqs of each site. If the site uses passkey, I think they will usually allow you to seed from multiple ips, so a seedbox can be used. If it doesn't use a passkey, then the tracker will most likely used your ip to track you so a seedbox cant be used there unless you access the tracker using the seedbox.

AFAIK, error 403 happens when the tracker has banned your IP range.
yes, it was. i pm'd a member of staff on indietorrents, and they lifted the ban just for my static ip.

this may not be the right thread but i have one question, most of trackers dont allow account sharing and downloading through the seedbox means different IP, isn't?

FCZ is a good example of this. You can only seed & browse simultaneously from 1 IP. The only way to circumvent this is to either browse & download the torrent from the seedbox (which is almost impossible with Lee)... or browse, download the torrent file, and add it through webgui. If you browse from another IP while the torrent is still active though, it will immediately stop the torrent.
