dear user,
i can confirme you that transmission is the best for the VPSes!!!
I have a CentOs 5, with transmission daemon, webUI enabled.
I'm not really expert, but is really simple to install it. Just take last sourcecode (beta is better), then extract it on a folder.
after it
cd to this folder, and execute
./configure
make
make install
if something is wrong, search on google the last error, then search solutions and what package install (on Ubuntu i don't know if is needed some package as in CentOS).
Also look @
http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Building#OnUnix (the official wiki page where understand what is needed or what to upgrade)
After install it, FIRST TO ALL you have to allow all the ips of the world to reach the server (else you cannot see downloads..)
You do it by running the first time this command (it's the daemon of transmission)
transmission-daemon
after it
killall transmission-daemon
Ok, now go to the user's folder. In it there is an hidden folder called
/.config/transmission-daemon/ , go in it.
In this folder, edit settings.json and change (not add) these directives:
change rpc-whitelist with
"rpc-whitelist": "*.*.*.*",
then make an user for enter in the WebUI.
"rpc-username": "insert_here_your_user",
"rpc-password": "insert_here_a_password"
Btw, my vps has only 128mb of ded. ram! Yes, only this! Despite TorrentFlux, usage of Cpu is less than 70%, of RAM less than 90%!!! 10mb vs 240mb!!
Yes, i like transmission
p.s. really 10$ for a 250mb ram??? can i speak with you by chat or PM???
