Hello,

I'm using MLDonkey as torrent client, but some torrent sites do not support this client and incorrectly counts ratio (or do not count ratio at all). So what clients are compatible with most torrent sites? Say what you think...

Try Transmission and you'll never want something else.

I love MLDonkey for just few things:

1. Multiprotocol support (BitTorrent, eDonkey, FTP).
2. Posibility to use SSH and GUI called sancho. You don't need WEB which is not so secure as SSH

So I just found that MLDonkey version 2.9.7 has too much issues with seeding files and trackers, so I downgraded to stable 2.9.6 (which is compilled by shadowandy) and all problems dissapeared. It seems that 2.9.7 is not officialy released and has some major issues.

I'm glad you're happy with MLDonkey. In case someone else is thinking about Transmission (or you do in the future), there are a number of ways it can be used via SSH by using port forwarding:

1. Command-line client 'transmission-remote', comes with the base install.
2. Multi-platform GUI client 'transmission-remote-gui', http://code.google.com/p/transmisson-remote-gui/
3. The web interface 'Clutch', which is part of the base install. Clutch runs its own webserver, so you can have lighttpd open to the world, but still have Clutch accessible only via SSH port forwarding.

Hi,

I have installed transmission 1.51 and all your 3 ways is working except one issue. I can use SSH port which is 22, but it will never be true SSH protocol. Its just WEB server on 9091 port or whatever you set it. That is not very good. I hope that it will be true SSH protocol support. So in general I can't open 9091 or 22 port to outside world because password is not encrypted and it not SSH. The only way is to use SSH to DNS323 and then use transmission-remote.

You don't have to use the web server that's built into Transmission. You can use a different one (lighttpd for example) and set it up so it uses https.

Hi,

Thanks for supporting. I use lighttpd for my website and its chrooted. The best way is to disable transmission totaly and leave only 'transmission-remote'. I think it's the most secure. Maybe you have some suggestions for security ?

Can you give me some info on how to set up transmission with lighttpd ? As I understand this new version of transmission has its own integrated web server. How to deintegrate/disable it and how to setup it for use with lighttpd?

You'll need to setup lighttpd as proxy. http://redmine.lighttpd.net/wiki/lightt … #mod_proxy

Transmission 1.22 is the latest version without internal web server, so personal I have used it without any problems.

I suggested using SSH with port forwarding. So you connect using SSH to port 22 (password required, password is never transmitted in plaintext). Then you set up your SSH connection to create a tunnel, so that the HTTP traffic (or RPC in the case of transmission-remote-gui) is encrypted.

Essentially, you can create a port-specific VPN using your SSH connection. If you Google "SSH port forwarding" or "SSH tunneling" you should find lots of explanations. Sorry to RTFM you, but I don't think I can explain it succintly.

Thanks for some directions. I'll try to look for it...
