Encrypted Fileserver with Bittorrent Web Interface

Posted by timothy on from the freenetesque dept.

mistermark writes "I built a fully encrypted (samba) fileserver with a web interface for managing torrent downloads on it. All I used is OpenBSD 3.6 and its package collection, except for the TorrentFlux-interface (which you need to install separately). Anyway, it can be built using binary packages only. I included a rough HOWTO on how to make one of these yourself."

    What's the idea behind Slashdot running piracy how-tos now? Has this site just completely given itself over to the warez kiddiez?

      Legitimate sharing is no excuse.

      Most of the filesharing on torrent is illegal. I hope you're not trying to deny that. Either you clean up the torrent yourselves or international legislation of the net (do you really want that?) is eventually going to do it for you.

    Yay! Now we can trade movies and music safely without those pesky copyright holders breathing down our necks!

    Information wants to be free! (unless it's our identity, of course)
