[Part 1] Download torrent & newsserver package

[CurlyMo]

The long awaited for torrent and newsserver download package has been released. Install it, try it, and let me know how it works. Also check if you would like to see something changed in the config files.

Code:

sudo su
apt-get update
apt-get install xbian-package-download

After the installation is done, wait a minute or two for the programs to start. Then you can go to the following locations:

Terminal

Transmission: http://x.x.x.x:9091/
SABnzbd: http://x.x.x.x:9092/
Headphones: http://x.x.x.x:9093/
Sickbeard: http://x.x.x.x:9094/
Couchpotato: http://x.x.x.x:9095/

The default login: xbian, pass: raspberry

Finished downloads: /home/xbian/downloads
Incomplete downloads: /home/xbian/incomplete
Torrents and nzb: /home/xbian/torrents

PS1. It is adviceable to stop XBMC because these programs require a lot of system resources.

Code:

/etc/init.d/xbmc stop

PS2. Install xbian-package-samba, if you would like to reach your RPi through the network.

The information above is quite outdated. Please don't use this old package anymore. I (CurlyMo) am working hard, with the great support of users in this forum, on a new bugfree and highly adaptable version. Use these new builds from below instead.

For those who want to test the download package version 2.0. Please completely remove the old packages or install on a fresh xbian. Let me know if it worked as expected.

Code:

sudo su
echo "deb http://jb.xenserver.sk/xbian/aptexp2/ wheezy main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update
apt-get install xbian-package-download

Of course, give all packages enough time to load as it can be slow.

Separate packages can be installed through one of the following lines:

Code:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbian-package-transmission
sudo apt-get install xbian-package-nzbget
sudo apt-get install xbian-package-headphones
sudo apt-get install xbian-package-couchpotato
sudo apt-get install xbian-package-sickbeard

To download to an external hard drive:

Code:

mv /home/xbian/downloads /media/usb/
mv /home/xbian/incomplete /media/usb/
mv /home/xbian/torrents /media/usb/
ln -s /media/usb/downloads /home/xbian/downloads
ln -s /media/usb/incomplete /home/xbian/incomplete
ln -s /media/usb/torrents /home/xbian/torrents
