Howdy all,
I'm tried of having to always use a BitTorrent client on my computer to download my favorite torrents, so I've decided to use a old computer of mine as a deciated torrent box.
Here's the specs:
Make and Model: NeoWare EON Thin Client
300Mhz Geode CPU
64MB RAM - This could be a worry.
48MB SSD (DiskOnModule) - Enough to hold Tiny Core Linux and the torrent apps?
10/100 LAN (Built-in)
I've run Damn Small Linux on the rig and it performs nicely. I am thinking of having the torrents save to an external location, such as a 8GB Flash Drive, to prevent the DiskOnModule running out of space.
However, I would need to confirm if the following are available (unless someone is willing to compile them for me):
rTorrent (CLI Torrent Program)
Nginx / Lighttpd with PHP Support (for rTWi, a rTorrent Web UI)
PHP 5.x (confirmed, as it's in the TCE repo)
The thing is that I'd like to use a Web UI for managing my torrents on the box, as this is going to be a headless box, mounted under my server, downloading my torrents. All I'll do then is FTP into the box, and download them off the USB Drive.
Is this possible, or has anyone already done this?
Cheers!
