Ubuntu :: Torrent Client Running After Logout?

Feb 10, 2011

I currently use Deluge for torrents, and I have many torrents which I would like to keep seeding 24/7 on my desktop computer. This machine is on 24/7, and has many users, both locally (using the standard Ubuntu GUI on a monitor, keyboard, and mouse hooked to the actual machine) and remotely (via ssh). My point is that this is a multiuser system. I am the administrator/have root access.

Anyway, the point is, I would like to run a BitTorrent client on this system without having to have any user logged in just to sustain it. Currently, the only way I know of keeping BitTorrent active at all times is to log in locally via the GUI, turn on Deluge, and then hit "lock screen," protecting my session and allowing others to log in locally as well while I'm gone (via "Switch User"). It is a big drain on system resources to have me logged in all the time (especially with a GUI).

I think I have explained the problem...Is there a solution? I use Deluge and like it, so I'd like to stick with it, but if there is a better option for this purpose, I am willing to switch.

Ubuntu :: Transmission Torrent Client?

Jan 15, 2010

One of the updates (Karmic) this morning listed the following:

Update
transmission-common
lightweight BitTorrent client (common files)

Description

Transmission is a simple BitTorrent client. It features a very simple, intuitive interface (gui and command-line) on top on an efficient, cross-platform back-end. This package contains the common files for the different transmission versions.

Changes

Changes for the versions:
1.75-0ubuntu2
1.75-0ubuntu2.2

Version 1.75-0ubuntu2.2:

* SECURITY UPDATE: fix arbitrary file overwrite via crafted torrent file
- debian/patches/CVE-2010-0012.patch: adjust metainfo.c to check for '../'
- CVE-2010-0012

So, I employed the update. Problem is, I do not see this as an installed application. TRANSMISSION is not listed in any submenu under the Applications menu OR Add/Remove.

Ubuntu :: Torrent Client With Frostwire Like Search Feature

Sep 1, 2011

I am looking for a program which has the same in-program search system as LimeWire/Frostwire, in the sense that when you type in your query, the program opens a results window in-program, listing all torrents relating to the query. I'm looking for this because my sister doesn't want to look for downloads on a torrent site, she just wants to stay in the program. Personally, I don't mind the current method, but I do understand the irritation when all you've even known is Limewire (and derivatives). I simply made the jump, but I agree that initially, it was jarring. I know that uTorrent has a search function, but it opens a web browser to search, and that's not what I'm looking for.

General :: Installing Software - Torrent Client ?

Oct 1, 2010

I am trying to install a torrent client (I don't know which is best for Linux Mint).

I've tried Bit Torrent and Ktorrent.

When I download these files they come like something that reads: ktorrent-4.0.3.tar.bz2

I open the folder and it contains a bunch of files that I have no idea what to do with.

I've been a Windows user all of my life, so I'm basically used to just being able to install software within a few clicks.

I guess what I want to know here is how I am supposed to install ANY software on Linux.

I have Linux Mint (If that makes a difference).

Networking :: Configure Torrent Client To Use Particular Interface

Jun 30, 2010

I am using two ethernet interface, in fact one ethernet interface eth0 and other is USB netconenct ppp0. I am using fedora 12 - 32 bit. I can individually use both connections. say if I disconnect ppp0 (wvdialer), everything works fine and same in other case. Now my problem is I want torrent client to use ppp0 and all other applications like firefox and other use eth0. So that I can use both interfaces effectively.

I changed in ktorrent client's configuration, and change interface to ppp0 from all interface, but it didnt work. When my eth0 id down I can ping using ppp0, but when eth0 is also up, I can ping via eth0 but not via ppp0 (ping xxxxx -I interface). What is I am doing wrong? How can I configure torrent client to use ppp0?

General :: Install Torrent Client In User Space

Jul 14, 2011

I've been looking to get some torrent downloads running on school servers, but I obviously can't install a torrent client because I don't have root (and by extent, can't run anything requiring root privileges). Servers are running various versions of Red Hat (at least the x86_64 ones are, I don't want to recompile if I don't have to). Google has failed me thus far.

Software :: Transmission Torrent Client Takes High Resources At Fast Download

May 1, 2010

I have quite fast Internet connection, 100mbit, and I'm able to take advantage of the entire bandwidth that I'm paying for. When I, however, use Transmission as torrent client and download a torrent faster than, 7-8 Mbyte/second, my hard drive is spinning all the time and my desktop becomes sporadically unresponsive, load average gets high and I'm pretty much sure the Transmission-application is the cause to this, somehow. It must be some strange way it cashes stuff...I don't know.

I'm, either way, not experiencing anything like that with any other torrent client in Linux (or Windows for that matter). It's not that I'm tied to Transmission, in fact, I prefer rtorrent and use it anytime I can, it's just that some stupid torrent sites are giving me Transmission as the only client option when I'm using Linux, so I have to stick to it those times. I have quite fast system, Core Duo 3ghz, 4gb ram, 500 gb 7200rpm 16MB cache WD hard drive, etc...so the hardware certainly shouldn't be a problem.

General :: Torrent Client Allowing Upload - Download Rate Limit Depending On The Time Of Day

With Azureus/Vuze, can we set an upload/download rate limit depending on the time of day?

If not, do you know a torrent client allowing this? Client must be available on Linux.

I learned that you can install plugins for Azureus/Vuze. There is one about scheduling. I've tried to install it but I got a NullPointerException.

OpenSUSE :: Logout Cancelled If VLC Running

What if Thunderbird, Firefox, LibreOffice, Gwenview etc. all decided I shouldn't log out? Would I have to log out six or seven times? Doesn't sound logical to me.

Debian Configuration :: XFCE Logout Doesn't Completely Logout Of System / Solution For This?

Oct 17, 2010

As a normal user I have activated the functions of the Quit applet, i.e. Logout, Shutdown and Restart are active buttons. I am able to restart or shutdown, no problems. But when I use the Logout button I don't get logged out, just returned to the login shell & I am still logged in as my user. I don't have a display manager installed and I do NOT want to use a display manager such as XDM or GDM. How do I get the Logout button to actually logout the user? It appears I am only getting logged out of the x-session, but I want complete logout.

Ubuntu :: X Server Running Only An NX Client?

Jun 8, 2010

I've been using NX to login to a remote machine (using the free NoMachine NX client). I've been pretty happy with it, but I'd like the ability to run it as a separate desktop, rather than a window within my existing local desktop. I think I'd like to be able to start X Windows with only the NX client running, either in another virtual console (VC) in addition to my local desktop or perhaps sometimes as the only desktop running. My first thought was to go to another VC and start an empty X Server with only the NX client running with the command

Code:
xinit /path/to/nxclient -- :1

That seemed to work, except that just as the remote desktop is about to appear the X server shuts down. It seems that the nxclient process spawns the child nxssh and then exits, and at that point X Windows closes because the command it was started with has ended. I assume there's a simple way to fix this by writing a script that will only terminate once all the child processes have terminated and calling that on the xinit command line, but I'm not sure how to do that.

Ubuntu :: Get Terminal Server Client Running?

Jan 23, 2010

I am building a Terminal Server Client using debootstrap for work. I found a couple post that suggested that I can change my inittab configuration to not load login. However it is my understanding that inittab has been replaced by upstart. I would like to know how to modify upstart so that instead of the user seeing a login: prompt my script is automatically loaded (rrdesktop)(revisedrdesktop) and the user is brought off a live cd to my terminal server.
