So I got my vps, I tried to install utorrent with no luck.
Can anyone explain a step by step guide to install the best torrent client.
I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed, root access via ssh (no vic though).
Waiting for your reply guys,
Thanks in advance.
I have a server running Torrentflux-b4rt, I have installed it months ago, great solid one with a web interface, installation is not hard just google it.
Install rTorrent on it. It's a command-line torrent client. Use GNU screen to persist your session even if your home connection gets disconnected. If you feel that a CLI client is too inconvenient for you, Install ruTorrent, a web interface for rTorrent. You'll also need Apache + PHP for ruTorrent.
@samer If i wanted to install apache i would have installed it and used torretmflux.
But apache on unbuntu is a pain though you need to start it every time you boot, not like windows.
Any alternatives?
Isn't there anyway i enable transmission webui from terminal.
Or for the rtorrent is it easy to use, i mean couple of commands are good with a good syntax.
Thanks for your replies, waiting for more...

Looks like you don't know what you're talking about. I've never had this problem. But in any case this should solve your problem:
sudo update-rc.d apache2 defaults
I had the exact same reaction as rolf when I read this as well. And while the command line he gave you isn't technically incorrect, I strongly suggest you read some documentation before copy/pasting commands off the internet. Especially, when they start with a sudo.

The Ubuntu community has a great documentation for you to read: Notes
In order to understand the docs I'm linking to, here's something you should know.

The very large majority of Unix systems available use a model called init to define how to run services at boot time. This method is sometimes referred to as "System V init" because it was introduced with a very old (and very successful) version of Unix called System V.

There are a lot of efforts made to up modernize this system, especially in the Linux world. Most notable efforts:
  • Upstart: developed by Canonical and in use in Ubuntu since version 6.10
  • systemd: developed by a Red Hat employee and enabled by default in Fedora since version 15. It's gaining a lot of momentum now, especially in the Arch Linux community.
Very important
If you installed Apache normally via the package manager (apt) then it should take care automatically of the upstart scripts, and it should be launched at bootup by default. If it doesn't it means that something went wrong during the installation process.

I strongly suggest you read the doc and diagnose correctly what the problem is and what went wrong. Always understand what the problem is, before copy/pasting commands and hoping they'll magically fix it.

This is the best piece of advice you'll ever get.
@rahmu do you remember when I asked a question about auto configuring xampp to run automatically with out sudo, I made a topic about that.
So technically I know what I am talking about, I will try to install apache the standalone not the xampp bundle and see if it'll work.
If it worked I'll install rtorrent and it's webUI
