Uploading a torrent to a file server?

Question

bittorrent

Hello Lord!

Most likely, my question will sound very stupid, but for some reason I can’t formulate a request to Google in any way to get an adequate answer (probably just tired), so please don’t judge strictly. I've been thinking about making a home server for a long time, I didn't know what for, that's why I couldn't buy it, but then an ancient PC turned up (there are still SDRAMs, two 256 each), which a friend wanted to throw away, but I realized, here's a chance to try a home server in action and understand why I might need it (and, accordingly, based on this, decide whether to buy normal hardware or not). The first thought is a torrent downloader and a distributor, and hence the question is how to arrange automatic download of a torrent from Win7 to Win2003? That is, I download a torrent on a laptop with Win7, he sends it to a client on Win2003 and he downloads it, something like this.
Thanks in advance

PS

What can you use a home server for?

Answer 1

The most convenient option is on the Transmission server, on the Transmission-remote laptop. Click to download the torrent on the laptop - it immediately downloads on the server.
PS put linux on the "server", it's much more interesting)))

Answer 2

If I'm not mistaken, then utorrent can use the web interface. That is, you install utorrent on a server and climb into the settings, there you open remote control via http. Then, from the laptop, climb the IP address to the server (to the port that was specified in the settings). Profit.
PS still can do this transmishin.
PS2 As mentioned above, Linux on a server is much more interesting.

Answer 3

On the trough of uTorrent, in the settings you set to monitor the folder (if a .torrent file appears in the folder, utorrent starts downloading it).
Then you either use dropbox (or similar) to synchronize folders between computers, or simply connect a folder from one computer to another over the network.
The easiest way that I know :) Well, you can turn on uTorrent's web muzzle and do something more interesting in it.

Hey!
About the search: you need to look for a HCPC (Home Theater Personal Computer) - a computer that performs the functions of a home theater.
We are building a media server and all we need is to have enough hardware resources to play media files. Win2003 has a lot of unnecessary services, and we are only interested in working with media and downloading files. In order for the whole thing to work at the maximum capabilities of the equipment, you need to correctly distribute the resources of the system (well, in general, so that there is nothing superfluous). I can recommend, as already noted *nix system:
- mythbuntu is a Linux OS, it consists entirely of Ubuntu. Ubuntu is not very difficult to understand (it has a graphical interface) and I think it is not nearly as difficult as win systems.
By installing it, you can screw xbmc on top , which will allow you to enjoy your media library if you use the media server directly. Supports remote controls if you organize the reception of an IR signal or d.r. on the system.
In order for the files to appear on the server, I will offer 2 ways - they have already been voiced and I can only suggest which one, in my opinion, turned out to be pleasant for usability:
1st method Installing the azureus
torrent clientand installing the WebUI plugin for it. It will make it possible to access the torrent client remotely via http. (you can raise the http server using Apache). We get: we downloaded the desired torrent file on a remote machine, went to your torrent client on the web interface and uploaded the torrent file to the server through it. You will immediately be shown a list of uploaded and downloaded files.
2nd method
You can use vsftpd . FTP server (you can choose another). Set up according to the rights you need. Example: one folder for torennt files with the ability to write, but the second downloads for reading for downloading. Next, install rtorrent. Console torrent client with a nice ability to check a folder for a file with a specific format (*.torrent). We get: we go via ftp client from a remote machine to our server and throw the bla-bla.torrent file into the torrents folder, at that time rtorrent will already start uploading the file to the directory you specified (for example, our downloads).
I have done both methods myself. Good luck!

Answer 5

Первая мысль — торрентокачалка и раздавалка и отсюда вопрос — как устроить автоматическую загрузку торрента с Win7 на Win2003? То есть я скачиваю торрент на ноуте с Win7, он посылает его клиенту на Win2003 и он закачивает его, как-то так примерно. Я более чем уверен что есть подобные решения но никак не могу найти их, подскажите где искать?)
no, you need at least a Xeon E5640 here :)
If there is some kind of Asus/DLink router supported by DD/Open-WRT, then you can find a bunch of manuals. If it’s a piece of iron, then you put FreeBSD on it (even kittens can put it just by poking “next”), put some kind of rtorrent, nginx / lighttpd / apache, set up the web face you like and it will work fine for 256 MB. If you download from some lost movie, then you just do a bash parse on your knee for the page and push the torrent files you need into the directory from which rtorrent automatically picks up the files.
Although real guys do it on Win2008 Server and add files to the mutorrent via RDP via CIFS.

Answer 6

And I would set up a mutorrent on the resulting server, to automatically pick up .torrent files from a folder thread, and share this folder in turn. And from the beech, save .torrent files to this shared folder.

Answer 7

There is Deluge. It has a quite adequate web-face for managing and configuring folders from which torrent files will be taken.

Answer 8

I am using Transmission installed on my home server. From work, using the extension for Chrome, I send a torrent for download (right-click on the link and Download with Remote Transmission ). In the evening I come home and watch a movie.

Answer 9

I don't know how to do it in the form of 2003 (I'm on gent), but I'll answer the second part of the question: what is the home server for:
1. Torrents 24 by 7.
2. Video collection. Comp, laptop, wdtv live watch everything from there.
3. Photo storage.
4. A website with its own wiki is convenient when you need to save some kind of manual.
5. RDP access - from anywhere you are on your home network.
6. photo storage. on RAID. for greater reliability...
7. experiments. All experiments were carried out on a server. Sometimes even in a separate virtual machine)))

Answer 10

Connect to the server the folder into which you will download torrents on the seven, in the utorrent there is a setting to scan the folder for new torrents and automatically download.
