Raspberry Pi Seed Field
Idea originally thought by SeanB on 12th March 2012
Summary
To provide an extremely simple method of setting up a linux image that can simply seed torrents for the common user.
Benefits:
- This would help the torrenting community by providing a low cost machine to provide constant seeding.
- Easy to setup.
- 24/7 seeding.
Technical Details
Operating System
- The image will be using a Debian/Fedora operating system.
Program
- The image will use a program called Deluge
Comments and Ideas
Well, if the idea is to have a 24/7 torent seeder, it is better to run the RPi as a server, headless that is in order to minimize costs.
I would highly recommend using a simpler and more powerful torrent server. in this case I would opt for rtorrent, it is cli based, can be accessed and interacted with by ssh, and its resource footprint is minimal.
