Torrentflux-b4rt

Torrentflux-b4rt

Torrentflux-b4rt is a web based transfer control client.

Torrentflux-b4rt allows users to control bittorrent transfers from anywhere using a highly configurable web based front end.

Torrentflux-b4rt is easy to install on a web server and includes a simple setup script which can be accessed from a web browser. Upload the files to your web server, run the setup script and your torrentflux-b4rt installation is ready to go.

Due to the extensible nature of torrentflux-b4rt, there are a variety of 3rd party tools/utilities and extra functionality that can be enabled from within the administration control panel.

Torrentflux-b4rt features a service daemon called Fluxd which can be used to schedule RSS feed downloads, keep watch over running torrents and restart them if they die.

Torrentflux-b4rt was originally based on the TorrentFlux BitTorrent controller written by Qrome, although it has recently undergone a major rewrite to allow transparent integration with a number of transfer clients and protocols.
