#Using it as a torrent box

###Pre-requisites

1. Have Raspbian installed

###Steps

1. sudo apt-get update

   sudo apt-get upgrade

2. sudo apt-get install deluged

   sudo apt-get install deluge-console

3. Start the deluge daemon by running deluged

   It creates the necessary files that we can now edit.

   Stop this after some time (5-10 seconds) by running sudo pkill deluged

4. Now edit the auth file. But first create a backup.

 ```cp ~/.config/deluge/auth ~/.config/deluge/auth.copy````

  Editing the auth file. ```nano ~/.config/deluge/auth```
 
  Add a line at the bottom of the configuration file with the following convention: ```user:password:level```
  
  Example : ```pi:pi:10``` (10 is full-access/administrative level for the daemon)

5. Now let's update the settings for allowing remote connections.

   deluged

   deluge-console

   config -s allow_remote True

   config allow_remote

   exit

6. Restart deluged for this configuration to take effect.

   sudo pkill deluged

   deluged

7. Intall deluge-web to be able to access it from remote.

   sudo apt-get install python-mako

   sudo apt-get install deluge-web

   deluge-web

8. Access deluge-web from a remote machine on the same network.

   Navigate to http://<rasberrypi-ip>:8112/ .

   You have a torrent server at your service!

   Enter the password as deluge and immediately change it.

9. In addition to accessing the web-gui from you can also access it from an Android application like Torrent Manager.

While using this app just provide the password which was changed in step 8.
