µTorrent Server alpha available for Linux

From µTorrent

This morning, we are announcing a preview release of the first of two new products for Linux users. µTorrent Server, an alpha version available immediately for download here, is intended for users seeking a fast, commandline only BitTorrent client with remote web-based management. If you prefer a more traditional experience, rest assured we are working hard to build a full-featured GUI client.

How to Install

Download & extract utorrent for linux

tar zxvf utorrent-server-3.0-21701.tar.gz

cd bittorrent-server-v3_0/

Config file

cat utserver.conf
#enter following lines in utserver.conf
dir_temp_files: temp
preferred_interface: eth0

To start server

./utserver

Now you can access using http://x.x.x.x:8080/gui/

Enter admin as user, keep password blank.
