| + | 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. | ||
| + | Xirvik makes worries a thing of the past, since your dedicated seedbox doubles as a [[tutorial_prxy|HTTP proxy,]] and VPN (Virtual Private Network)!\\ Only with Xirvik does anonymity meet convenience and functionality like never before. | ||
| + | Depending on which seedbox you have, it can be capable of speeds up to 2000 Mbps.\\ Those lightning fast speeds in conjunction with the seedbox' | ||
| - | </html> | + | Your seedbox comes with 2 torrent clients and a newsgroup client:\\ |
| + | |||
| + | **rTorrent**\\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | **Deluge**\\ Deluge is also available as an alternative to rTorrent. It is not particularly recommended because it lacks many of the features that the combination of rTorrent + ruTorrent provides. | ||
| + | |||
| + | **SABnzbd** (Usenet)\\ While we won't be covering this binary newsgroup downloader in this tutorial,\\ You can access it from your server' | ||

| + | === Now let's upload your first torrent! === | ||
| + | |||
| + | The first thing we need to do is get a torrent file.\\ Open up a [[http:// | ||

| + | |||
| + | {{: | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can save it anywhere you'd like, but your desktop will do just fine. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Now let's start downloading that torrent! | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==rTorrent== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Once you're on your main seedbox server page you can choose from one of the 3 rTorrent front-ends/ | ||

| + | |||
| + | 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 a 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. | ||
| + | |||
| + | 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.\\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{: | ||
| + | |||
| + | There are several more tabs in ruTorrent, including: | ||
| + | |||
| + | The News tab allows you to see news and announcements from Xirvik. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Shoutbox allows you to chat with other users.\\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | The History tab allows you to see a history of torrents that were added, deleted, and finished.\\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Explorer tab allows you to manage files on your seedbox. For more information, | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | 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. | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{: | ||
| + | |||
| + | Type in your information and select **Login.** | ||
| + | |||
| + | Now you'll be greeted with the minimalistic but beautiful wTorrent client. | ||

| + | |||
| + | Let's click on **Add Torrent** up top.\\ (Highlighted in Red) | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{: | ||
| + | |||
| + | Select browse (highlighted in blue)\\ We'll be using the same torrent from LegalTorrents.com.\\ You can specify if you'd like the transfer entry to be in your Private Tracker section by checking **Private**. | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{: | ||
| + | |||
| + | 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. | ||

| + | |||
| + | Once you've selected what you'd like to do, hit **Apply**. | ||

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

| + | 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 you're done.\\ Make sure the torrent is stopped first. | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{: | ||
| + | |||
| + | === Extra Notes: === | ||
