Welcome to another episode of HPR, I'm your host Enigma, and today I will be talking
|
||
|
|
about Torrent Flux. Torrent Flux is a multi-user GUI for BitTornado. It has a PHP front end
|
||
|
|
and a MySQL back end. It can manage all downloads in a central location to make life easy
|
||
|
|
to your and not have a your favorite Torrent application of choice on your desktop. It's centralized.
|
||
|
|
You can stick it on a server somewhere and not really worry about having it suck your resources
|
||
|
|
on your local machine. Multiple users can upload files at the same time. It can search
|
||
|
|
sites from the GUI with some plugins for your favorite Torrent search engine of choice.
|
||
|
|
And you could have some possible automation to the process, which I'll talk about later.
|
||
|
|
Your requirements, a Linux box installed and working. It's been tested on Debian Red Hat
|
||
|
|
Fedora. Personally, I use mine on SNOS, which is Red Hat Enterprise, an Apache web server.
|
||
|
|
PHP Apache module version 4.1 or higher with a MySQL database server, and it also supports
|
||
|
|
other ODBC databases. Python 2.2 or higher. SC Linux should be turned off or configured
|
||
|
|
to allow Torrent Flux to work with files in a specific application path. And Safe Mode
|
||
|
|
must be turned off in the PHP.Anyfile Torrent Flux reads writes files that Safe Mode would
|
||
|
|
restrict. And basically, it's an easy install. You go to the website and untar the archive.
|
||
|
|
You want to download. You create the database in MySQL. And that has, or read me, that basically
|
||
|
|
will walk you through the process of creating the database. You build the Torrent Flux tables
|
||
|
|
by running a SQL script that's provided in the tar archive. And then you want to edit
|
||
|
|
your config.php for the database settings on that particular box. You want to browse
|
||
|
|
to the site that you have. You have to have Apache running. Browse to your local post.
|
||
|
|
And set up the password and other directory info. And you must either turn off or put
|
||
|
|
in Allow Mode SC Linux. Basically, you can upload or search from Torrents on the main
|
||
|
|
screen of the Torrent Flux website. It will auto-seed the Torrent after completion, but
|
||
|
|
that can be turned off. You can select files out of Torrents if you only want to download
|
||
|
|
a specific file from that Torrent. It also has a history feature where you can basically
|
||
|
|
keep track of all the Torrents you've downloaded. It has a nice GUI interface that tells you
|
||
|
|
how much disk space you have left on the specific drive. It's got multi-user management
|
||
|
|
with disk quotas, so you can have a user set up where you can only use 10% of your disk
|
||
|
|
space or whatever you wanted to do with that. It's very easy to use interface and customisable.
|
||
|
|
You can auto-ft. You can have customization scripts within the tool that you can auto-ftp
|
||
|
|
the Torrent once it's finished to another location via of a script. It's got an RSS feed
|
||
|
|
built in with new Torrents, and that's about it for today. Thanks to all the hosts that
|
||
|
|

|
||
|
|
