Transmission

heeeelloooou every1

this is my first post here

i am an ubuntu desktop user, and i have recently discovered transmission, damn good torret client, best substitute for my winxp utorrent....

the thing is i want to know if i can use vps(debian neintsall lenny)..that i virtual server costs about 10USD

to be honest i am a noob, and if there is any good soul here to write me steps how to install debian, how to ssh.... install transmision(apt-get install transmission), and how to set it up to have fully working webUI...i would be happy like a baby with a new toy

or maybe ubuntu since vps is limited to 256RAM, which ever distro handles memory usage better?


i am all ears

ps: remember i am a noob, i want to learn , dont yell at me

yes please,ive just been searching around for this myself,im also new to linux.and proud of it!
At least the step is taken;)

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???

antonio20001 check your PM

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE
