- | == Starter' | ||
- | <color blue> | ||
- | Your dedicated seedbox is **yours**. It is not in use by anybody but you. | ||
- | |||
- | It comes fully equipped to handle all your torrenting needs, and then some. | ||

- | |||
- | Now let's start downloading that torrent! | ||
- | |||
- | Which client would you like to try first? | ||

- | |||
- | Now let's upload your first torrent! | ||
- | |||
- | ==ruTorrent== | ||
- | |||
- | When you first open up ruTorrent, after the brief loading period, you will quickly notice one thing. It has the user-friendly and familiar looks of uTorrent! | ||
- | |||
- | {{: | ||
- | |||
- | In fact, it's so similar that most of you will be able to pick it up in a matter of seconds. | ||
- | |||
- | Here's quick overview of the toolbar. | ||
- | |||
- | {{: | ||
- | |||
- | The green signal is to Add an RSS feed.\\ The blue gear is the settings button.\\ The flag is to change the language.\\ The **?** opens the About box.. | ||
- | |||
- | Enough with the basic' | ||
- | |||
- | {{: | ||
- | |||
- | A small dialog box will appear.\\ Select **Browse** (highlighted in green) and locate the .torrent file we previously downloaded. Then select **Add File** (highlighted in blue) to begin downloading. | ||

- | {{: | ||
- | |||
- | Let's check out the settings now. Hitting the gear button will open it up. | ||
- | |||
- | {{: | ||
- | |||
- | Most of these settings won't do you much good to change.\\ It's recommended to not touch them unless you know what you're doing. | ||
- | |||
- | {{: | ||
- | |||
- | The General section has a couple of things that may be relevant to the average seedbox user. You may want to change the GUI update time.\\ Too low may cause slowdowns though.\\ Another setting you may be interested in is Request Timeout.\\ If you get systematic timeout errors you can try halving or doubling this number.\\ | ||
- | |||
- | ==wTorrent== | ||
- | |||
- | Now let's give wTorrent a try.\\ You may be asked to enter your username and password.\\ This information is the same as your general account. | ||

- | Now hit **Upload file.** | ||
- | |||
- | Hitting **Main** up top will let you see the transfer in action.\\ You may need to select private (highlighted in blue) if you chose that setting when adding the torrent. | ||
- | |||
- | {{: | ||
- | |||
- | It's important to note that you can refresh the page by selecting the refresh button (highlighted in black) towards the bottom of the page. | ||
- | |||
- | Selecting the check mark under an entry' | ||

- | |||
- | Next up is rtGui. Open it up from your server page. | ||
- | |||
- | {{: | ||
- | |||
- | As you can see from the main page, rtGui is a simple and no-frills web client. Luckily for us, it's quite capable! | ||
- | |||
- | If you look to the upper right you'll see an **Add Torrent** button, let's click this.\\ As you might have been able to guess this opens up a section to add a torrent.\\ Simply hit **Browse** and find your file then hit **Go**!\\ Wait a few moments and it will be visible in the torrent entry list. | ||

- | |||
- | {{: | ||
- | |||
- | {{: | ||
- | |||
- | The same as we saw before in wTorrent you can select the checkbox next to each torrent to make changes to them simultaneously. | ||
- | |||
- | {{: | ||
- | |||
- | Once done hit **Go**. | ||
- | |||
- | Click on the title of a torrent entry opens up a slightly more advanced section that involves only that specific torrent.\\ At the top are some straight-forward commands that the client will issue for that torrent when clicked. | ||
- | |||
- | In the Files tab you can see all the files in the torrent. You can change each individual file's priority here as well.\\ Tracker simply shows the tracker' | ||
- | |||

- | |||
- | {{: | ||
- | |||
