One More "Permanent" BP-Media Home

A More Permanent BP-Media Home from Home.

The number one bane of the BP Media user / downloader is the lack of a permanent repository for our files.

To help shoulder some of the burden I am taking the steps needed to convert a relatively high-powered home-built PC to an Ubuntu Linux Box running Azureus. The box has plenty of room to host additional cheap hard drives if capacity becomes a concern.

Within the coming days the majority of the files that are part of the collection I made in the past, or were made recently from media Clarity provided will be placed on this box. Until I pony up the bucks to get some redundant drives installed I plan to use an NTFS volume via USB to serve the rest.

I anticipate being able to host upwards of 20 file sets, these will not off course be served all at once - but sequentially, to allow efficient seeding.

The best news is that nobody else in the household needs to use this box. The net effect should be a high level of up-time on a robust platform, for serving the media clips / games.

Awesome! The extra seeding will be very helpful.

I have a similar setup here as well. Ubuntu 7.10 running Deluge bittorrent client, 600 GB of storage. Just wish I had more bandwidth to throw around... PM me if you have any questions setting up Ubuntu.

I will - also you and I need to sort out the other matters in recent PM traffic, best done via PM though.

and here I sit with a lowly 330 gb HD.

. I presently seed 1 - 3 games and of course the speed slows accordingly. That will be a welcome addition Sandgk. Alas My computer is getting too old to upgrade any more , even the ram is maxed.
