- In the Accessories menu, point to Communications, and then click Remote Desktop Connection.
Then install utorrent in ur server .
Install webui
Go to http://hostname:port/gui/ with your browser and login with your chosen username and password to remote via webui.
- 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).
- Get Webui and extract webui to Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\uTorrent
Oops...my bad.Quote:

you might wanna check out the linux section
just install firefox first, don't use ie, after that install utorrent and serv-u ftp server.
done with that you can use your seedbox
to connect to your seedbox use remote desktop from windows or if you use Mac, use Remote Desktop Connection
install firefox? how? what is supposed to happen after i type in the ip vectoral sent me? and i only need to set up serv-u if i wanna transfer the stuff i download on the server to my computer, right?Quote:

then, you'll have to wait them to send you the complete information about your server, after that you could follow the simple steps I wrote above
why the hell did you buy windows? windows sucks. you should of gotten linux -.-
what's wrong with windows? how is linux better??Quote:

Linux is much harder to use than windows, i'm learned that myself lately :lol:
In my opinion, Linux is better for performance.
Sure, it's hard if you don't have any previous experience. Once you master the basics, it's child's play.
Linux is definitely the way to go. Not only better performance but better uptime, reliability, and easier maintenance. There's a lot to learn but if you take some time, it's not that bad. Not to mention it's free for the most partQuote:
