I'm looking for a console based torrent app I can use on my headless server.

Hey onebuck,

I have a Server it has 2 cpu Intel Xeon 2.67ghz with 32gb of memory Raid controller and 2 power supply. If I can get some software to install on it. I will glad to put Slackware files on it to torrent that way they will be up all the time. Right now my Linux is a live version of Porteus 3.1 Mate. I could do a Slackware install 14.1 and run Transmission for the torrent if that be good enough. When I install slackware which kernel should I use. On this I'm not sure what to do.

kernel-firmware-20151215git-noarch-1.txz
kernel-generic-4.1.15-x86_64-1.txz
kernel-huge-4.1.15-x86_64-1.txz
kernel-modules-4.1.15-x86_64-1.txz

Any help will be great. What I like to do is set it up so anyone could just download the files with or without torrent.

I could put other Slackware Linux files on it

Hi,

If this is a production machine then I would use 'Slackware64 14.1'. You could use 'Slackware64 -current' but if something happens then you would be responsible for getting things straight or post to Slackware with hope of getting some help.

As to the kernel to use, I occasionally will get a newer kernel if the hardware needs are not supported by a previous one. To compile a kernel for your personal use is well documented at Slackware Doc Project.

You can use the torrent server of choice for you. Some suggest that 'rtorrent' or 'transmission'.

Hope this helps.
Have fun & enjoy!

A friend of mind gave me the Server but he didn't tell where he got it at. I was just going to use it for my home computer with Linux on it and it should be fast.

When I do setup for torrent I will just download your torrent and just leave the Server run all the time. I will let you know when I do it. I just have a laptop or I would do it now.

Can anyone please seed Slackware 14.1 x86 DVD ISO from official site? I need to download it but there are no seeders (as for me I always seed Slackware 14.1 x86_64 DVD ISO when my computer is connected to the internet).

I've been constantly seeding it with a 100mbit upload. But according to my phone app (that connects to transmission on my computer), it seems the tracker might be down as it is showing 0 of 0 seeders and 0 of 0 leechers.

Hmm, this is very strange cause you can see on the attached screenshot that I have none of seeders. Maybe bassmadrigal is right and the tracker might be down.

It doesn't even show you as a leecher [0 (0)], so I'm pretty sure you're not connected to the tracker.

If you click on the "Status" button at the bottom, it'll give you more information on it, and you can check the individual trackers under the tracker tab along with any error messages they have.

You are right, there are some errors like "requested download is not authorized for use with this tracker" and "Invalid response from tracker". How can I fix them?

It looks like an issue with the tracker, and short of you adding additional trackers (which there's no guarantee that people would be on those trackers, because they'd have to add them manually as well), there's likely nothing you can do to fix it. I did do a search on various torrent sites for Slackware 14.1 and found a few trackers that have a few seeds, however, there's no guarantee that they're seeding the exact same torrent, so you'd just have to add them and see if it works.

Code:
http://explodie.org:6969/announce
http://tracker.bittorrent.am/announce
http://mgtracker.org/2710/announce
http://tracker.aletorrenty.pl:2710/announce
The other option is to just enable DHT. This will allow you to connect to people without using trackers. If you don't have UPNP enabled on your router, you might need to enable port forwarding for the specific DHT port you're using.
