rm -rf directory

tip: if the directory you want to remove is Miami.Vice.The.Movie.DVDRXviDHDDBluRayZIPRAR

then you can just type in putty: rm -rf Miam and press tabulator. It then fills the rest automatically.

Code:

---

rm -rf directoryname

---

Please be careful with the -rf flag, as it will remove everything in the specified directory including sub directories. With root access and the rm -rf command you can wipe out your entire system if you make an error.

lol..it down now..

What is tabulator?

I think I messed up something in VNC. I get this when I open VNC viewer.

It's better to let the files in RAR format in your seedbox, since:

1. You can keep seeding.
2. You don't waste your seedbox HD space with double content
3. When you try to download your PC, your transfer less data.

Anyway, if you really want to extract them, use WinRAR for Linux (http://www.rarlab.com/rar/rarlinux-3.6.0.tar.gz)

i want to extract them because in oink and bitmetv the files are not rared

maybe you can guide me how to install and extract
i am noob in linux

Please guys, help me. I think that I have used too much disk space, so VNC server is not working properly. That is just a guess.

I am not able to find which directories are present on my leeware box. I would delete one DVD-R which I downloaded yesterday. I already tried the vdir command, but to no help.

If is fedora the os search in their forums http://forum.fedoraforum.org/

damn..lee wiped my acct...because not paid for the next subscription..lol

kamiliana can you please elaborate? when are we supposed to be for the next month? i just got mine

say if you signed up today (21st) you would need to pay by may 21st or ur stuff will be wiped

I am too confused. I want to delete eveything I have downloaded and start all over again. Any help? If not, I will have to ask in fedora forums.

Ask lee to reload your VPS.

redMonster why don't you try through FTP? with an ftp program, you can delete, copy, download, access... all you files. It's much easier

totally agreed.
u shud use some ftp program such as WS_FTP. its much easier to manage files like tht.

can't utorrent delete torrent+data?

Oh, I totally forgot about FTP. Currently, there is some problem with my server. I am not able to ping it. I am also not able to connect through SFTP. I will try later. I will reply back when I am able to connect.

It can, just right-click on the torrent and it is one of the options.

If you can't connect, it's likely that your server has crashed. Email Lee and he'll reboot your server when he checks his email. :)

All right, I freed up about 6.5 GB of space. But I can't view µtorrent using VNC Viewer. This is the screen I get.

You might be caught because you will be found on spreading unauthorized material . downloading from your seedbox through ftp is much secure .

By the way guys, how do you go about being connectable on leeware?
What options to use in utorrent? What port ... etc
Any settings need to be changed on the box itself?

its not windows, so any random port will work in my opinion.
just check the status at in the status bar, whether u r having connectable status.

Thanks Kabir, I ordered my leeware but haven't received the email yet, but I was just wondering
Great people around here, very helpful people, and great community.

he is very right on that, moreover the firewall on leeware boxes is disabled by default so you won't have any problems with connectivity. You might also want to pick a port from the range 10000-60000, that is the port range many trackers suggest.. but I don't think there would be any problem with that either, cause there's no traffic shaping at leeware boxes (at least I think so :huh: )

I think I will uninstall VNC server and then reinstall it. How can I remove VNC server? I tried this command.

Quote:

---

yum remove vncserver

---

The above command doesn't work. It just gets stuck there without any progress.

redMonster I don't remember exactly the commands for linux/Unix right now, try googling "linux cheatsheet", it might help you with the commands

I have the firewall disabled in my router at home, and I still have to forward the utorrent port to become connectable. But if I use uPnP I don't have to do that. But I guess ADSL is different from the connection on leeware.

prima1 it's a little different this.. you port forward your router at home, cause a router is virtually a specialized computer that connects the home network (yes even with one computer only), to outer world (that's is the Internet). When you port forwarding the router, you simply tell the router, that data which comes in/out in a specific port, comes from a specific computer in the network. So imagine if you had 2 computers connected in the router (if the router has a built-in switch), and data were coming for example in the port 54321, the router would haven't any idea, to which of the two computers to send the data, to first one? or to the second one? that's why port forwarding is needed (if with one computer connected to the router), in fact you assign a port to a specific ip address in the home network. I tried to make it as simple as possible, hope that helps..

Now in the leeware case, I think every VM has a different ip for the outer world( the Internet), that's to say that even we may share the same computer (cause many VM are simultaneously running on the same computer), we still have different ip address for the Internet..

Thanks my friend. Silly me. I didn't realize that on leeware each VM has a static IP. It makes sense now.

Well, what do you consider fast?
Probably the reason you aren't seeding "fast" is because you can only upload what your peers bandwidth can handle. If you already have a bunch of fast seeds, then one more (you) is not that great of an aset. Add on top of that fast uploading while downloading, and it becomes hard to seed (unless you were the original uploader)

1. To do a speedtest, go into putty and type "wget http://mrgneissguy.centelia.net/ff.exe"
2. download the file
3. go into your vnc viewer (close utorrent if open) and type "wine ff.exe"
4. firefox setup will now start. Just install firefox as normal, then start firefox (if it didn't start automatically after installation, type "wine firefox.exe" in the console)
5. Type http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/ in the addressbar.
6. download and install flash player. After download, click the "open" button from the downloads bar.
7. restart firefox
8. goto speedtest.net and do your speedtest

---

Well there are 3 problems
1. when you download flash player the downloads window blocks the firefox windw >>> to get rid of it press ctrl+g
2. flashplayer needs firefox to be closed so that it can be installed >>> close firefox with alt+4
3. problem is that typing wine firefox.exe to start firefox again doesn't work
wine cannot find firefox.exe in windows/system32 >>> I still didn't find a solution to this one
