Seedbox question.

[ekk3123]

Hey!
Does anyone know or have a guide how to set up your own seedbox? I have a great server over at a friends appartment that runs on 1000/100Mbit/s internet and I would love to be able to use it as a seedbox but is it possible? and how do i do? Thanks in advance!

what's the server OS? what's your OS ? if both are Windows then you just need to install utorrent and a ftp server like serv-u ftp program. Then just use Remote Desktop from yours to connect to the apartment.

or you can go to www.torrentflux.com and download the appropriate version. its a breeze to install and set up. just has a few limitations thats all

The server is running on Windows server 2003 and My home pc runs on Win Xp. Thanks alot for the aswers, appreciate it alot!

[bikernin]

tflux would be ideal as a beginner. download the latest version for win 2k3. tflux has limited file management so you would want to set up an ftp server with admin rights at the same time. that should do very nicely

how's the system resources need comparing to utorrent ?

[maldini 3]

But how to do that in Linux server , can i just install utorrent version for linux or what ?
how i do to control it ?

[filonome]

there is not a utorrent version for linux, if you want a good linux client use rtorrent

you can control that by logging into the computer via ssh and then transfer files with either ftp or scp

[fstokebanget]

does rtorrent has a module like webgui for utorrent ?

[bikernin]

torrentflux has a linux version as well. not sure if rtorrent has a webui

Yes, you can compile rTorrent with various WebUI's.

use remote desktop

[fstokebanget]

WebUI or SSH in.

if its windows, just install utorrent and activate webUI. EZ
