How to Install / Configure / Use μTorrent Server on Linux system

µTorrent Server is designed for use on computers running Linux and other UNIX-like operating systems. It provides a state-of-the-art implementation of the BitTorrent protocol and a full-featured web-based user interface in a small footprint.

μTorrent server is a daemonizable 32-bit binary of the µTorrent core, built for x86 compatible Linux. It can be managed programmatically via an HTTP API or interactively by using the (included) customized version of the popular uTorrent Web user interface.

µTorrent Server is a full implementation of the official BitTorrent protocol.
Features include:
 * Web-based remote control daemon
 * Multiple simultaneous downloads
 * Configurable bandwidth scheduler
 * Global and per-torrent speed limiting
 * Quick-resumes interrupted transfers
 * Trackerless support (Mainline DHT)

Additionally, µTorrent Server includes a full-featured web-based user interface.

Installation and Configuration of µTorrent Server:
 * Download µTorrent Server for Linux from here.
 * Extract the downloaded package using command:
tar zxvf utorrent-server-3.0-21701.tar.gz
cd bittorrent-server-v3_0/
 * Create µTorrent server configuration file bittorrent-server-v3_0/utserver.conf and put the following settings into this configuration file:
dir_temp_files: temp
preferred_interface: eth0
Starting uTorrent server:
Open up the terminal and type following command to start the µTorrent server:
cd bittorrent-server-v3_0/
./utserver
This will start the  µTorrent server on port 8080 (default), users can access the µTorrent web client from any browser using URL: http://<µTorrent ip address>:8080/gui

Very nice article but I don't think is such a good idea to run alpha-state software in a production server.

That's fine for testing, in the meantime there are a lot of madure p2p servers/trackers for Linux.

Install utorrent on Mandriva

reason for trying utorrent is that my ktorrent shutdown itself after 50-60 minuts work.
There should be button ”please stay alive online and download when data is available again
try download and do not shutdown ktorrent allthought my connection is slow”

first install libssl.so.0.9.8 by using mandriva own ”set computer” method
or download   openssl-0.9.8k-5.5mdv2010.0.src.rpm
run command ./utserver
command line answer :

server started - using locale fi_FI.UTF-8

IPv6 is installed

Yes it seem to work
interrupt it

press ctrl C
write again ./utserver
[root@localhost utorrent-server-v3_0]# ./utserver
./utserver: /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8: no version information available (required by ./utserver)
./utserver: /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8: no version information available (required by ./utserver)

TCP port bind failed 0.0.0.0:6881: (98) Address is allready in use

press ctrl C
shutdown ktorrent

update open sll and try again
now command line answer :

[root@localhost utorrent-server-v3_0]# ./utserver
./utserver: /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8: no version information available (required by ./utserver)
./utserver: /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8: no version information available (required by ./utserver)
server started - using locale fi_FI.UTF-8
Using locale fi_FI.UTF-8
total physical memory -1 max disk cache 33554432
IPv6 is installed

press ctrl C

install sll files by ”set computer” those ssl files what are left but not engine file … it is earlier version .1
and try again

[root@localhost utorrent-server-v3_0]# ./utserver
./utserver: /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8: no version information available (required by ./utserver)
./utserver: /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8: no version information available (required by ./utserver)
server started - using locale fi_FI.UTF-8
Using locale fi_FI.UTF-8
total physical memory -1 max disk cache 33554432
IPv6 is installed

Yet do next
Create µTorrent server configuration file bittorrent-server-v3_0/utserver.conf and put the following settings into this configuration file:
dir_temp_files: temp
preferred_interface: eth0
Starting uTorrent server:
Open up the terminal and type following command to start the µTorrent server:
cd bittorrent-server-v3_0/
./utserver
Now open browser and write http://:8080/gui
example
server utorrent:
http://192.168.1.100:8080/gui/


servers have private areas, where a user name and a password have to be supplied in order to download documents

and one more thing is that you need to start utorrrrent server before it can be seen and read
in samba as service
If it works throught samba you may need config name and password for it?

If security level is low previous presented password prosedure is not needed. I think!

If you install newer version of program you must go through whole proses again
install libservise
unrar
config
