A Flux of Torrents
I installed Torrentflux on my server last night/ this morning. Torrentflux is a php based "torrent hub" program. It's supposed to be a centralized place to download your torrents. I'm interested b/c I've got a server that's up and running 24/7 so if I can move my torrent seeding/leeching to the server then that's one less box I have to have running.
I haven't had much of a chance to play with it but at first blush there appears to be a good number of options and it apparently will support multiple users on a single server, which is cool. The biggest problem I see at the moment is the fact that I use closed tracker sites that require authentication in order to access. The interface provides a search box for the open tracker sites (torrentspy, mininova, piratebay, etc) and an option to upload a torrent file that's been downloaded. I suppose that would be an option but it would be a pain in the ass to have to go to a site, find the torrent, download it, then upload it to the server and run it from there. There are worse things, I know, but it's not an ideal situation. Now an ideal situation would be support for authenticated sites as well as a scripted auto-download feature that could be set to periodically search for certain keywords so I could get new TV show whenever they get uploaded. They have something like that for non-pirated material ,the democracy player, but that's no fun. I'm just going to have to spend some time and see if there are any other workarounds.
