uTorrent
I'm looking at torrent software for my Kimsufi box. I tried Deluge, but didn't like the webUI too much. I see that uTorrent is available for Linux (I'm sure it wasn't a year or so ago when I last checked). I can install and run uTorrent, but I cant seem to find a way to run it in the background. If I run ./utserver it will launch and I can get to the WebUI, but as soon as I crash out or close my SSH window (Putty) the software stops.
I've tried the init scripts here: http://blog.droidzone.in/2013/03/09/how-to-start-utorrent-server-at-boot-on-debian/ but they dont want to work for me.
I am using Debian 7.

Use Screen or Nohup
Try this
wget -N https://raw.github.com/Notos/seedbox-from-scratch/v2.1.9/seedbox-from-scratch.sh
time bash ~/seedbox-from-scratch.sh
I'm using this and it works great. It comes with multi user support. I would install this on a fresh format.
Have you tried rtorrent?
Looks good. I am using Proxmox on the server, so I could try spinning up a fresh container and try this out.
No one ever mentions transmission
How about qBittorrent-nox?
Use a screen?
But yeah I tried transmission out not too long ago; worked well.
Try rutorrent:

@ATHK
Oh I love transmission ~(≧▽≦)/~
uTorrent is getting banned on many trackers. I would not recommend using it. Have you tried the Deluge thin client - a full desktop app that manages the server?
Proof?
type
screen -S utorrent
then
utorrent
or rtorrent or whateverthen hold
ctrl + A
and pressD
Transmission is good but the Web UI is too simplistic. It's my main desktop client though.
Bullshit, although I recommend rTorrent (libTorrent)/ruTorrent.
Kind of hard to prove and I will not be posting screenshots of trackers.
The latest versions of uTorrent (or the official client, mainline) have seen major bugs. Some are noticing improper tracker communication, peer connectivity issues, and general performance hits. To many trackers uTorrent is unreliable when upgraded, and banned its use.
This has always been my biggest complaint about Transmission. I installed another "skin" but the UI is still junk. Maybe I will try some of the suggestions here.
Nothing on What.CD news, nothing on BTN, nothing on Waffles... maybe some fringe trackers but no client has it's new versions automatically allowed and most trackers will vet new versions of clients before they are whitelisted. One bad version of uTorrent not getting approved != ban.
ruTorrent is king.
That's my blog.
Apparently there's a styling error on the script
Where you see
It should actually be
on the last line and not with the
&
character. Try it. It works for me.There were a few style errors on the page, probably occured during change of one of my syntax plugins. I've fixed them now.
Hi Joe.
I am trying the first script on your site:
#!/bin/bash
### BEGIN INIT INFO# Provides: utserver
# Required-Start:# Required-Stop:
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# X-Interactive: true# Short-Description: Start/stop utserver
### END INIT INFOcase "" in
start)
echo Starting utorrent servercd /root/utorrent
./utserver &;;
stop)echo Stopping utorrent server
killall utserver;;
*)echo Usage: start stop
exit 1;;
esac`exit 0
When I run 'service utstart start or /etc/init.d/utstart start I just get the response:
root@torrent:/etc/init.d# /etc/init.d/utstart start Usage: start stop
[edit]
Ok I cant seem to format the code properly at the top of the post.
Loyal transmission user here
This is my updated script for /etc/init.d/utstart
Complete set of steps to install utorrent:
