BitTorrent client that can...

mzemina · 2006-08-22, 19:42

I'm looking for a BitTorrent client which will allow me at work to FTP the torrent file into a folder on my home computer. Then my home computer will take teh torrent file and download the actual file.

I'm wondering about this as to help me complete a few of the missing episodes I need for some of my favorite TV series.

Well... why not set up a Remote admin program like Remotely Anywhere. You could then just log into your computer and cut and paste the link (when connected) to your torrent into IE... It will open up IE and download your torrent.

This is what I do

Those ports are blocked at work!

Azureus does this.

http://azureus.sourceforge.net/

You can set it to check a folder every 60 seconds and FTP your torrents to that folder.

You could even have it default save to another FTP folder to make your files available off-site. Or you could program or find a simple PHP script which could serve your files instead.

You can also set up a PHP based UI which allows you to upload torrents directly and monitor it, all through a web page served through your web server (assuming you have one).

Have you tried logmein.com, it runs a service on your media server and then you just log into the website and it is all done through http. Worked really well where I work with ports blocked.

I had the same problem but all I did was to use a port that is open. You can shose the port you wish to use with Ultr@VNC -> http://ultravnc.sourceforge.net/

This program enables you to set up a remote desktop session. I use port 8000.

Hope this helps

uTorrent can also automatically start downloading torrents that are dumped into a directory. In fact I believe most torrent clients have this capability by now.

Azureus has a plugin called HTML WebUI that creates a web interface that you can access from anywhere as long as you know the IP of your computer. You can upload torrents this way.
