I have no idea. I just use uTorrent on a low-power HTPC box that’s on 24/7 and I remote desktop into it from wherever I am over a VPN. *shrug* My setup is waaaay different than yours.

I haven’t seen it break down yet, so I can’t comment on what’d be hell. But yeah, figuring all the exactly useful bits out was definitely a bit time-consuming. It’s probably worth noting that this exact combination of software is also not exactly the first stop I’d go to for anything, so when any issues come up and break it I’ll see what can be improved. Perhaps the addition of one of the crappy (at least, so they appear when reviewing them) web interfaces would be one more step in the nicety level?

You’ve certainly shown two things today: A resourceful user can make use of existing technology to shape it into something tailored just for them.
And, Linux is not for the weak of heart. I’d say that’s completely unsuitable for anyone who doesn’t have a good bit of Linux experience.
