Hello guys,

I am pretty newbie with programing language. I come with a question. I have a nice speed connection, and i wanna transform my personal computer into a seedbox.

I wanna implement this into a site, blog, and this seedbox i would like to have this features:

-able to login into an account from a site / blog
-each user to have a limited space on my HDD ( something like 5GB, dont wanna see all their porns into my PC )
-optional a connection download limit ( i will have a real 100mb/s connection ) and i wanna keep something like 10mb/s real download speed for each user
-a function to auto-delete a file after a period ( like 12 hours ) - my purpose is to help them upload / download fast - not to keep all junk into my PC
-a function so all uploaders can make their torrents, public ( all other users from site can see them, and download them) or private (only users who have to correct link to be able to download the file )

Also i am looking for a nice tutorial of how to install a seedbox into windows.

All i`ve said is able to make? What programs should i use? Any tips?
Maybe a freelancer around here, who wanna help?

Well most things are pretty easy to do.

But the main question is :

Is your PC powerfull enough to run as server & also as your main desktop PC.
Or will you only use it as a server ?

Best is indeed to use Linux

Did you already look in the forum here ?
Or in the Ubuntu forum ?
Did you already try rtorrent & rutorrent ?

We intent to help a lot in here , but we also ask people that they try something first & not just ask.



** able to login into an account from a site / blog

You would need to implement this , as this is not done yet
Authentication can be set-up on the webserver site

** each user to have a limited space on my HDD ( something like 5GB, dont wanna see all their porns into my PC )

For this you would need to buy the Quota plugin

** optional a connection download limit ( i will have a real 100mb/s connection ) and i wanna keep something like 10mb/s real download speed for each user

This is possible with rtorrent

** a function to auto-delete a file after a period ( like 12 hours ) - my purpose is to help them upload / download fast - not to keep all junk into my PC

You can use a cronjob / script for this


** a function so all uploaders can make their torrents, public ( all other users from site can see them, and download them) or private (only users who have to correct link to be able to download the file )

For this you would need to make yourself a torrent tracker / or Blog where they post the links (when using an entracker,NOT recommended)

I have windows 7 OS, maybe i will change to ubuntu if all those things i posted may come true.
- also have a i5 procesor,
- 1TB samsung HDD http://dc-shop.ro/HDD-DISC-DUR-1-TB-SAMSUNG-HD103UJ-prod-16818.htm
- motherboard http://dc-shop.ro/Placa-de-baza-ASUS-P7P55D-LE-prod-19491.htm
- 4Gb RAM

I can keep it just as a server, but if those requirements can be filled.

So any guides of how to do it?
that's more than enough of a machine to run what you want.

i'm not going to give guides, your question is way too generic and borders on totally ridiculous to try to answer without getting a LOT more info.


If you want to know how to install rutorrent, this is the right place.

If you want to know how to install blogging software, this is NOT the right place.



Now., i can recommend software
i can tell you what i'd use for those things...but your needs seem very specific and totally generic all at the same time.

Thankx for your advices.

Did you already look in the forum here ?
I was looking in many forums but i noticed the majority work with linux, thats why i was searching for a tutorial of how to make a seedbox on Windows.
I also was looking for many scripts, programs, which will help me to install a seedbox, and seems many of them disapointed me. So, here i found rutorrent. I asked at first if my wishes can be made with this program, so i know from the start. Now i will test it.


Or in the Ubuntu forum ?
I was searching in ubuntu forum too. Some nice infos there too, but as i said, i was looking for a windows tutorial. Anyway after seeing your replays guys, you made change my mind, and i will try to use Ubuntu linux, altho i have no experience.

I was thinking about using windows as primary OS, and Ubuntu into dual boot, or a virtual ubuntu.
how it will work rutorrent with a virtual ubuntu? Any ideea?

Did you already try rtorrent & rutorrent ?
Not yet, i will try them soon.


Now that i`ve found that Ubuntu linux is a must for rutorrent, i am thinking of what scenario is the best to make a seedbox. How to make my computer to become a seedbox as easy as possible.......



If you want to know how to install rutorrent, this is the right place.

Yes i am here, to see how rutorrent can be installed, i know how blogs can be installed.







----------------
Bottom line

Here is repeat my ideea:

I wanna transform my PC ( with the specifications above ) into a seedbox. I have many friends who wanna share files, videos made from games, free programs, etc. Since i will have soon a high speed fiber real 100MB/s download / upload peering with many ISP from my country, i thought to make this seedbox.

To make it very easy to use for anyone, i was thinking, my friends to be able to make accounts on a blog ( easy to redirect them to the login form of ruttorent script ). Later, after i will get some experience with this i would like to offer this seedbox to everyone, but they will need to pay via SMS ( like 1E per 5GB space on my HDD, and 0.10E per uploaded file ). Also i would like this seedbox to be able to delete their files after 24hours, coz i dont wanna see trash files into my PC.


Other scenarios i was thinking:

Visitors make an account on site after they pay 0.10E via SMS, and after that they receive a pass to login with teamviewer or remote desktop into my pc. In my PC they should be able to use only internet brower ( opera / firefox, etc ) and a torrent client. This will work if they wont be able to change anything ( so my torrent client can be set to download / upload with a limit speed, etc ).



Well, i am going to test ruttorent.

L.E:

I was speaking with some guys from Softaculous http://www.softaculous.com/ ( a script suite with easy to install scripts on web hosts ). This package can be reached on web hosts into Cpanel. It can install blogs, forums, adv programs, etc.

I was thinking this script-package should have a seedbox easy to install script, and and Administrator will be glad to hear about your script ( http://www.softaculous.com/board/index.php?tid=699&tpg=1#p3837 ).

Just wanted to let you guys know.

ah, well good luck man. I'm not much on the auto-install packages personally but a couple exists.

One thing: They can make it somewhat harder to support people who have problems because those people can never answer basic questions about the setup.


There is torrent software on windows..just using utorrent + utorrentwebui would probably be the closest thing to rutorrent in the windows world.
