Major changes and new features

December 16th, 2007 · 1 Comment

All new virtual private seedboxes are now built using our new software stack. There are many changes and upgrades that we have been testing over the last few weeks. (Thanks you for all your help.)

Major changes:

  • We replaced the memory leaking Lighttpd webserver with the high performance Nginx webserver from Russia (with love).
  • Each server has SFTP by default and all Torrenflux users can upload and download from the same location.
  • Proxy software for the purpose of authenticating your seedbox to some trackers has been installed. Just go to http://Your.ServerName.com/proxy/ and log in to your tracker. Your tracker will now recognize your seedbox. Wahoo.
  • IP Blocking software is installed on all servers. The default www.bluetack.co.uk/config/nipfilter.dat.gz list is used, but if you want other lists just let us know. More info about this here: http://moblock-deb.sourceforge.net/
  • Rsync is installed and available now on all seedboxes. This is the best way we know of to transfer files to and from the box if you have Mac OSX or a yummy linux flavor like Ubuntu. If you want to learn more about rsync you can check out a tutorial or just read more about why you would want to use it.
