For this demonstration, we’re going to use Deluge’s default web port (8112) without HTTPS. ![]() Next, let’s configure Deluge’s web UI, so that we can connect and view torrents over HTTP. sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get -y upgrade sudo apt-get install -y deluged sudo apt-get install -y deluge-web Step 2: Set up the Web UI ![]() Connect to the instance the following commands to update the operating system, upgrade any out-of-date packages and install Deluge BitTorrent Client. Most people use PuTTY, however for this example, I’m going to use MobaXterm for the very reason that it includes an SFTP client, which we’re going to use to get the tormented files from the instance. Grab the Public IP address from the Lightsail console and connect using your preferred terminal emulator. Now that we’ve assigned a static public IP address and opened port 8112, we can now connect to the instance and continue the setup. Lightsail is an AWS product that aims to compete with the likes of DigitalOcean, when it comes to fixed prices per-month of virtual private servers. Head to the AWS Lightsail console and spin up a Lightsail instance. To sign up for an account you can click here. AWS is one of the largest providers of cloud computing on the market. If you’re new to AWS, you’ll need to sign up for an account. We’ll also be able to add torrent files and view download progress using the web UI. We’re going to use Deluge to download files and MobaXterm to transfer them to a local computer. Below, I’m going to show you how you can utilize AWS Lightsail to host a dedicated BitTorrent server. There are many other pros (and some cons) to using BitTorrent, however that’s what this articles is about. Their game client allows players to download off of their peers instead of directly from Blizzard’s content delivery network, saving Blizzard a tonne of money in data transfer costs. Blizzard Entertainment (for example) use BitTorrent protocol to reduce the cost of delivering game updates to players. While many people associate BitTorrent with the sharing of illegal content such as pirated Movies/TV Shows, the legitimate uses for the protocol should not be ignored. I've been rolling with P2P since Hotline and I sense that the end of this truly WONDERFUL, corporate-greed EQUALIZER is NEAR.BitTorrent is a decentralized file transfer protocol that allows for downloaded data to be shared between peers, meaning there is less load on the originating content host. But NOW, I'm waiting DAYS to get files that are only 10 GB. I had uTorrent tweaked out for maximum efficiency and speed and it was pulling MASSIVE connections from everywhere! I was even occasionally getting seeders from Mars! (Just joking). High school kids that can design a MUCH better user interface than these people. For some reason, the developers think that I TOO want to be a developer and so I have to fuck around with Python eggs instead of simply clicking a toggle switch or checking a checkbox in a halfway decent GUI. It's got Python shit all over the place and very little documentation to explain functions, properties, and even the damn preferences/settings. It doesn't seem to be decently developed for Windows, the LARGEST non-mobile computer platform in the world. But Deluge SUCKS compared to uTorrent in my personal opinion. I use Deluge because my ISP(AT&T) cuts me off after an hour or so when I try to use uTorrent. Maybe followed by Tixati and BiglyBT.īitTorrent / uTorrent (current versions are essentially the same client nowadays)Īlso see the sidebar Related Links list under "Client Software". That aside the "main" ones in use tend to be Deluge, qBittorrent, rTorrent, Transmission, uTorrent 2.2.1. ![]() ![]() Most people do not recommend using the current BitTorrent/uTorrent clients nowadays.
