[Part 2] Download torrent & newsserver package(s)

[CurlyMo]

After a big amount of positive reactions on our idea to offer an all-in-one newsserver and torrent package - the topic on our forum got around 16.000 views - we also received a lot of complains about the unstableness of the whole. That's why i called the help of our great community and made a second version.

There have been some big changes:
- All packages offered by the download package are also separately installable.
* xbian-package-transmission
* xbian-package-nzbget
* xbian-package-sickbeard
* xbian-package-couchpotato
* xbian-package-headphones
- All packages are configured (or patched*) so they seemingly work together
- All packages are configured (or patched**) so they support the same username and password combination.
- Instead of using the official debian version of transmission i recompiled it so it uses less resources.
- All packages originally found on git, have been linked to the XBian repository. So no risk of damaging our packages because all updates are first approved by our package maintainers.

For all of you who already used the previous version of the package are advices to completely remove it and backup your settings. Due to the big changes in version 2, it doesn't run well with left-overs of version 1. The ideal solution is to install the package on a clean Alpha 5 installation.

To install/upgrade the all-in-one package:

Code:

sudo apt-get install xbian-package-download

The addresses are still the same.

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

If you want to download everything to an external hard-drive/usb stick:

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

* Headphones didn't have nzbget support
** NZBget didn't have a custom username ability. Sickbeard and Couchpotato also had a static username built in for NZBget.
