Previously we have configured basic NAS storage on Raspberry Pi. Having such power and doing nothing with storage is a waste. To prove its usefulness Next logical step is to implement torrent client on this machine. The benefit is obvious, you have NAS server which his always available and also torrent client which downloads/seeds files without need power hungry PC. You can find many torrent clients that can be used in Raspberry Pi, but it seems that lots of people prefer Deluge which has plenty of features and requires small memory to run. Deluge is great in its flexibility – the ability to run on desktop, through web interface and through ThinClient. The other popular packet is Transmission, which is also lightweight and has great WebUI. Transmission is able to handle magnet links from web interface. And it seems it is easier to configure. So we are going to stick with Transmission. Before we start it’s good habit to update Raspbian with following commands: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade Setting up Transmission on Raspberry Pi Before we begin configuring torrent client we need to create two directories in our drive. One directory will be for downloads in progress [inprogress] …
