+ | Xirvik effectively makes worries a thing of the past, your seedbox doubles as a [[tutorial_prxy|HTTP proxy server]]!\\ This is made possible because you have your own static IP address, which is reserved for use by nobody but you!! | ||
+ | Your seedbox is capable of speeds upto 100Mbit/s per second.\\ Those lightning fast speeds in conjunction with the seedbox' | ||
+ | The best part about rTorrent isn't the versatility or the simplicity.\\ It's the variety, and ability to choose your preference.\\ Your seedbox, in particular, comes with **3** different front-ends/ | ||
- | </ | + | Lets start off by getting a torrent file, and initiatiating a download.\\ We will explain how to do this on all available front-ends, and then explain further controls and options. |
+ | Open up a [[http:// | ||
+ | Find a torrent that you wish to download, right click the download link and select **Save Link As..** or **Save Target As**. | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | You can save it anywhere you'd like, but your desktop will do just fine. | ||
+ | To actually download the file(s) we need to first pick a front-end/ | ||
+ | Once you're on your main seedbox server page you can choose from one of the 3 rTorrent front-ends/ | ||
+ | There' | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | We'll begin the overview of rTorrent with ruTorrent.\\ 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. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Heres quick overview of the toolbar. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | 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. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In a moment you'll notice a new torrent entry, and your file(s) will start downloading.. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Looking towards the bottom of the screen in the General tab you will see some basic information about the torrent. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Going to the Files tab show's you all the files in the respective torrent entry.\\ You can individually choose which files to give priority and which to avoid 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== | ||
+ | |||
+ | 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. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Type in your information and select **Login.** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now you'll be greeted with the minimalistic, | ||

+ | |||
+ | 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' | ||
+ | |||
+ | You can stop, start and erase.\\ Or recheck the hash to make sure you're not missing any pieces of your downloaded files. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | We can also click on the title of the entry to see more information.\\ You can change the priority of the entire torrent here. | ||

+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | The File/Folder section allows you to change the priority of individual files. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | The last 2 sections show the tracker' | ||
+ | |||
+ | ==rtGui== | ||
+ | |||
+ | 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. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Don't worry if it takes abnormally long to be visible on the page, in the coming section you'll see how to change that setting. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | 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' | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Peers shows the seeders and leechers in your swarm.\\ The Torrent tab is a bit more going on, it just tells you some quick information about the torrent and it's progress. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Storage tab is likely the most useful tab, as it's not in either wTorrent or ruTorrent. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This feature allows you to change the directory which something is downloaded into.\\ Simply click on the directory and select **Set Directory** and your done.\\ Make sure the torrent is stopped first. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | == Extra Notes: == | ||
+ | |||

+ | |||
+ | Alernately you can just add " | ||
+ | |||
+ | It's simple just find your file, right click and **Save Link/Target As**. | ||

+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
