Before anything else: The Advert at the top there is for MY company. It’s not random advertising I genuinely want you to buy stuff from me!
I’ve finally setup my torrent box/media center. Presently it sits in the lounge connected to the projector acting as an always-on web-server-remote-access-proxy-torrent-media-center machine. So yes somewhat split purpose!
Specs on this wonderful machine:
- Windows 7 Enterprise (Yes, I got it from DECS)
- AMD Opteron 8212HE (x1)
- Corsair 1GB Ram Stick DDR3 (x2)
- Western Digital 1TB “Green” SATA (x1)
- SATA Blu-Ray Reader (x1)
- ATI Radeon 4850 (x1)
The rest of the box is really just random old bits and bobs. The CPU is quite old now but seems powerful enough to handle the whole split-purpose & HD video playback thing. I’m currently running the Deluge WebUI automatically adding files from a shared network drive as well as the WebUI of course.
I’ve set up a few remote-access password protected URI for it of course being on a dynamic IP never helps. The box runs downloads at about 560~kB/s on a good day which is stretching the max speed of my connection here. Fortunately for me I have unlimited uploads in the plan I’m on so seeding isn’t a problem.
