Torrenting Server

Proven on:

13 (trixie)

As always...
Start with:	sudo apt update sudo apt upgrade

Preparation

Storage

Storage space for downloading (Torrents & such) should be done on a dedicated drive.

I tend to do most of my storage via NFS served up by my dedicated storage server.

Create a DONE & a WIP folder on the storage drive. This will make it easier to keep things organised.

Useful things

Configure your download server to use a good VPN.

Install Transmission-daemon

• sudo apt install transmission-daemon

Configure Transmission-daemon

Note: Any time you edit settings.json, You need to stop transmission-daemon first or it'll overwrite your changes.

• sudo service transmission-daemon stop
• sudo vi /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/settings.json
