First of all, what is VFS? VFS means Virtual File System. It is a layer that exists in a lot of OS and in Minix too, this layer takes care of the communication with the File System. It is a Master’s thesis in Computer Science from Balázs Gerófi and the name is “Design and implementation of the MINIX Virtual File system“.

Hello

Why to create a server with a torrent client with web access? I live with other people that uses torrent too. I had a computer running a server with other services, so I decided to add this client (transmission-daemon) with web access, in this way we don’t need to let computers on. Just this one. Everybody have web access to it and it is so simple to use.

But wich client to use? I searched a little bit and found that exists some famous ones as w3btorrent and torrentflux. but they need a web-server running like apache. And I don’t want to setup it too, because I don’t need it. So I choosed transmission the native torrent client in Ubuntu.

So, to install it in Ubuntu server you use:

$ sudo apt-get install transmission-daemon

Now you need to setup it, my configuration file was in /home/user/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json

The options are a lot but it is easy to understand them.

Hello,

To split a large file in several smaller files, you can use Split from Linux. How it works? Man split.

split –bytes=1m /path/large/file /path/output/file/prefix

You can replace the suffix of –bytes with many values as follow:
kB = 1000
K = 1024
MB = 1000 * 1000
M = 1024 * 1024
G = 1000 * 1000 * 1000
GB = 1024 * 1024 * 1024

Best Regards,
Matheus
