Remotely Control your Torrents on Linux
You have a spare PC lying around or you travel a lot and want to monitor your Bitorrent downloads. Well then what you could do is make yourself a mini seedbox, essentially what a seedbox is a spare computer that you use for torrent downloads now I am going to show you how to create one so that it may be easy for you to monitor your Bittorrent downloads on the go.
First thing’s first we need a torrent client in this case we will be using a modified version of Torrent Flux ( which is a php torrent client) called Torrentflux-b4rt. I choose the modified version because it has more features and also the option to use different back ends. you must be wondering why not just use the uTorrent with its webUI, let me tell you that utorrent webUI has very limited set of features as opposed to TorrentFlux and utorrent webUI cant be accessed from your cellphone if you decide to control it on the go and last but not the least torrentflux is very customizable as you can install plugins and theme to either change the look or to add more features.
