Use CORE for torrents??
« on: September 16, 2007, 04:27:37 pm »
HI,

I'm about to set up LMCE with one core and two HTPC (discless).
The CORE will run 8 SATA drives in HW RAID 5.
I would also like to use the CORE PC to download torrents (Ktorrent?), is that possible??
Since it will be "headless" I suppose I must run remote desktop or similar?

I suppose someone has tried this before and can explain how to set it up.

Forgot to mention that I will want to do the "remote thing" from a WinXP machine on the network.

Hi,

I recently installed mldonkey. There is a interface called "sancho" which is available for windows too.

Best regards
Oliver

Do you mean that Sancho is the client and Mldonkey is the server??
