Hi all, this week I got my hands over a working 200MHz i386 thin client "Neoware ca5", see: http://www.jonshouse.co.uk/neoware_ca5.cgi This machine had got a 32MB WinCE rom disk over a 44pin IDE bus which I promptly removed ;))) and a RAM expansion slot which immediately got 256MB as a whoopping present :))) I'm right now waiting from ebay a compact flash to 44pin IDE adapter, so that I can stick in 16GB storage :)))
So, this is the perfect torrentbox (and also angbandbox!): 15W max operating, fanless, kinda "fire and forget" :))) As soon as the card arrives the box will get a luxurious -current install :))) On CLI I've always used rtorrent as a nice, powerful torrent client. But this box is meant to run totally headless. Which means I'll access to it only through ssh. As far as I know, pls correct me if I'm wrong, rtorrent is not meant to be run as a daemon, even though somebody on linux already tried to overcome this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=53395 or http://flipsidereality.com/blog/linux/rtorrent-with-wtorrent-on-debian-etch-complete-howto/but these look like dirty hacks. I'd therefore like to know which program I could run as a torrent daemon with the following requisites: 1. accessible/browsable through CLI/ssh every time I connect (http could be a plus, also to upload .torrent files) 2. supporting level1 IP blacklists 3. supporting protocol encryption Any good hints for the clue bucket? Thanks in advance
