Thread: ubuntu seedbox setup?

I just purchased a server from Kimsufi. and i've been looking around the forums and there are several guides for setting up a ubuntu seedbox. Can anyone suggest which one would be the best?

try this review by MikeD:

Debian/Ubuntu Dedicated Server

which explain how to set up ur server step by step:)

Just perform these 3 commands:

cd
wget --no-check-certificate -O autodl-setup http://sourceforge.net/projects/auto...setup/download
sudo sh autodl-setup

It will:

• Install a web server (Apache, nginx, or lighttpd)
• Install ruTorrent with multi-user support (http and https)
• Install 1st party ruTorrent plugins
• Install an encrypted FTP server (vsftpd)
• Install rtorrent with xmlrpc-c support
• Install the IRC auto downloader plugin (autodl-irssi)
• Install Webmin
• Install a startup script for rtorrent and Irssi

I have tried it myself & it's just awesome. Your seedbox will be up in a few minutes.
