The decision to install Transmission came after serious research and testing. This is also apply for the operating system choice – after testing Debian 6<\/span> and 7 on the server, and OpenSuse 13.2<\/span> on my local machine, I choose Ubuntu 14.04 LTS<\/span><\/p>\n

Here we go:<\/p>\n

connect to your server via ssh<\/span><\/p>\n

# ssh root@yourserverIP<\/span>
\nenter password<\/p>\n

first command to run is
\n# apt-get update<\/span>
\nplease, note that we do not use ‘sudo’<\/span> to run the commands, because you are the ‘root’ user
\n# apt-get install software-properties-common python-software-properties<\/span>
\nthis is needed to track your packages later
\nthen we add the Transmission repository
\n# add-apt-repository ppa:transmissionbt\/ppa<\/span>
\n# apt-get update<\/span>
\n# apt-get install transmission-cli transmission-common transmission-daemon<\/span>
\nNow is the time to edit transmission-daemon configuration. Use editor of your choice – I use ‘nano<\/span>‘. If it is not installed, install it with
\n# apt-get install nano<\/span>
\nthen edit configuration file with
\n# nano \/etc\/transmission-daemon\/settings.json<\/span>
\nSome of the important changes to the default configuration you might want to do are:
\n\u201cblocklist-enabled\u201d (Ln 11) should be set to ‘true’ (this isn\u2019t really required, but is highly recommended, as it ensures that no malicious peers try to connect to your server<\/span>
\n \u201cblocklist-url\u201d (Ln 12) can be set to any blocklist you want, but one recommended is I-Blocklist. (http:\/\/list.iblocklist.com\/?list=bt_level1&fileformat=p2p&archiveformat=gz)<\/span>
\n \u201crpc-authentication-required\u201d (Ln 41) should be set to ‘true’ in order to protect login to the WebUI.<\/span>
\n \u201crpc-enabled\u201d (Ln 43) should be set to ‘true’<\/span>
\n \u201crpc-password\u201d (Ln 44) set password to access the WebUI<\/span>
\n \u201crpc-username\u201d (Ln 47) here comes your username to access the WebUI<\/span>
\n \u201crpc-whitelist-enabled\u201d (Ln 49) set it to ‘false’ to enable access to the WebUI from where ever you want.<\/span><\/p>\n

# service transmission-daemon reload<\/span><\/p>\n

That is it! No need to install additional scripts to run the service on server reboot, because transmission-daemon is already in the \/etc\/init.d<\/span> directory and all works fine out of the box.<\/p>\n

Now it is time to connect to WebUI<\/span>. Start your web browser and point it to<\/p>\n

http:\/\/yourserverIP:9091\/transmission\/web\/<\/span><\/p>\n

Enter your login details. From here you can add your desired torrents and also check\/change the settings of your torrent client.<\/p>\n

And since all this work I did with the main purpose to expand seeding of Spiritual Treasures<\/span><\/span><\/a> – the world’s largest and most comprehensive compendium on God and Love – there was one very important point: to be able to manage its trackers after setting up the client and starting the torrents.
\nTransmission WebUI<\/span> lacks this feature and I needed to find another way of doing it. And it is ‘Transmission Remote Gui’<\/span>.
\nIt should be installed on your local machine and it is available for my linux OS – OpenSuse<\/span>, at
\nhttps:\/\/software.opensuse.org\/package\/transmission-remote-gui<\/a><\/p>\n

If your linux distro does not provide this package, you can find the source code at
\nhttp:\/\/sourceforge.net\/projects\/transmisson-remote-gui.mirror\/<\/a>
\nAnd by the way, there is also application for Android<\/span> on Google Play<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The Spiritual Treasures torrent file<\/span><\/a><\/span> lost four of the five trackers it had at the time of its creation and it is extremely important to manually add some new ones, as mentioned on Spiritual Treasures – Kriya Yoga download<\/span><\/a><\/span> page<\/p>\n

And to find some new when use specialized torrent search engines by using the unique info hash: 8e0d636d4e7489ca55b5fd1ab044dc80ea2d15ba<\/span>
\nOne such major torrent search engine to show a large list of available original torrent sources and trackers currently is:
\nhttp:\/\/torrentz.eu\/8e0d636d4e7489ca55b5fd1ab044dc80ea2d15ba<\/a><\/p>\n
