torrent server with web gui

gazj · 2007-12-13 15:31:41

i am currently using deluge on my workstation for torrents, i keep leaving it on to finish downloads, now this seems crazy when i already have a server on 24/7.

Does anyone know of a torrent client for my server (has to be x-less) that has a webgui i can access on my workstation. For instance i know rtorrent and deluge have a webgui, but they need x installed which i really don't wan to do.

A solution would be nice not only could i get my download finished, i can do my bit when it comes to seeding more sucessfully.

Thanks

Gaz

try torrentflux (more specifically tf-b4rt) http://tf-b4rt.berlios.de/

I have been using on my server for 3 months and once it is up and running it is fairly stable, you just have to have mysql and php up and running on a web server. You can then access it from anywhere.

I have a torrent server running Arch Linux base + Azureus 2.5.0.4/HTML WebUI 0.7.6.
No GUI at all

I use torrentflux, too -- still have 2.3 on my server. I've been using TF for the past year or so at least, it's a great program. I haven't switched to tf-b4rt yet so can't comment on that one, but TF at least is very stable. maybe i'll switch this weekend, b4rt looks like a nicer interface (the name sucks, though )

Trying this out now, already have apache running, have only ever set up php on server 2003 at work, and never set up mysql so wish me luck with those. I'm hoping the default configs won't need much tweaking.

Thanks guys, great help

I use rtorrent. It's a text-based torrent client but is very simple to use and very light, and does all things needed. You can add a web interface using some kind of plugins, but I never need it. You can still access from remote using SSH.

Give it a try, especially if you have an old machine.

I run transmission in daemon mode and control is using transmission-remote by SSHing in from work. It's not really what you're asking for but SSH probably has less overhead than Apache so it's worth thinking about.

gazj · 2007-12-14 00:14:22

It runs lovely, need do some tweaking here and there, downloads go straight into my nfs share so are immediatly available on my workstation. Other solution's sounds good too, but i think i have already fell for this one it works great, apache as an overhead is not a big deal as i was running it anyway, plus I learned a bit more about setting up php and mysql.

Thanks Guys

Well, I've never used those apps, but just look at the options and compare to the -h output:

-r '0' -c '0' -o 'seshu'

I'd get rid of those.

syamajala · 2008-01-13 14:07:00

yeah, i commented those out in ClientHandler.transmission.php, but i guess it didn't work. So then I restarted apache and it seems to have worked. There are still a few more things that need to be fixed though. I'll play with it some more.

bionnaki · 2008-01-13 20:59:55

use rtorrent.

syamajala · 2008-01-14 18:22:18

i just installed clutch for transmission. it works.

X/ax · 2008-01-14 18:27:33

No b4rt here either, there is normal torrentflux running here. I'm really pleased with it, and the extend of configuration.
I've even given people in my family accounts, and they seem to learn how the thing works pretty easy.

syamajala · 2008-01-14 18:32:55

actually i might switch to rtorrent. i just read about some of the features it has. the 1 thing i really want is directory watching, which transmission seems to lack.
