good web interface for torrents?

Davini · 2011-07-15 04:49:54

I was just curious if there are any good web interfaces for torrents. I've tried to set up rTorrent and wTorrent but I was unsucessful. Transmissiond is not bad but i'm looking for something a little more robust -- more specifically, something I could easily password protect and scheduling.

Does anyone know of a thorough tutorial for a good web interface to download torrents(for arch linux)? Any suggestions or links or how to's would be much appreciated. I've tried doing searches but haven't come up with much on my own.

Thanks.

rtorrent + rutorrent works for me.

transmission-daemon works pretty well IMO

mldonkey works pretty well and isn't limited to torrents

Another vote for rtorrent + rutorrent.

Sorry to ask here,but does rutorrent support multiple trackers for the same torrent(dont know if i am asking it right,but if i have loaded a torrent from different tracker but the same files are included for another torrent on different tracker will it be included on the previous one)??

This period i use transmission-daemon.

Okay cool, thanks. I'm going to give rtorrent + ruTorrent a try.

No clue about that, sorry.

No client supports this, because the deciding factor is whether the info hash is the same or not. Having the same data files in a torrent is one deciding factor whether they're equal, but not the only one. So it simply depends on the uploader of the respective torrents if it works or not.

rT will NEVER add trackers to a loaded item with the same info hash. uT for example will ASK whether to combine tracker lists. If you really need to run several items with the same hash, you'll need to run several rT instances.

# pacman -S deluge
$ deluged && deluge-web &

I like Transmission. It is simple.

I use cron to schedule transmission to download at night which doesn't count towards by ISP data allowance

0 23 * * * transmission-remote -t all -s > /dev/null
0 9  * * * transmission-remote -t all -S > /dev/null
10,30,50 23-6 * * * /home/me/alldone

The last "alldone" entry switches off my laptop when done

#!/bin/bash
# first check for latest torrents

castget -1 -q

# exit if no torrent has been fetched as it hasn't even started downloading yet

if (( `find /home/me/Downloads | grep -c torrent.added` == 0 )); then
 exit
fi

# shutdown if torrent are all "100%"

if (( `transmission-remote -l |grep " ..%" -c` == 0 )) ; then
 sudo /etc/rc.d/transmissiond stop
 touch shuttingdown
 sudo halt
fi

@graysky
Is deluge play nice with harddrives and cpu with multiple active torrents?

Trisatr · 2011-07-16 16:07:26

I think deluge is the best choice.
There is also uTorrent server 3.0 (manual file included)

Greetings,
I agree with .:B:. & tomk.

Used the rtorrent + wtorrent combo over a year ago on a headless arch server I was running for three users (my self and two windows users). Been a while but I really liked that setup, clean and easy. Know that setup didn't work for you but it's a good solution if you decide to try again.
