Sorry for de OT.. but why are they @Saiyan and @gmano?? some new title for the TE chennai members?

lol.... @monty

P.s:abhi.. 2nd time im barging into ur thread... sorry :p
 
it actually might not be a bad idea...

powercuts in chennai are rather infrequent and usually short *knocks on wood*

A 500VA UPS should be able to keep it running for several hours before dying out..

ugh, now I either need to change the placement of the box or run a long wire from the UPS
 
Nice work superczar! A guide will be most useful :) I may not get a el cheapo d/l rig like you, but would still love to set this thing up on my second rig to check out how a remote controlled torrent client works :)

r u talking abt the @ symbol before their names. I think this is normal thread posting etiquette that if u r mentioning somebody's name u have to precede it with a @ symbol.
 
@monty

@ is used when ur referring to someones post :p

for eg...

the way im using it in this post.. its supp to tell the person being referred to.. that the post is in response to his/her post

:jason: It's not a d/l rig...

it's a headless NASSeedboxMan :p

ftp/NAS/torrent being three obvious usages

LOL

On a serious note, since the setup is intended to work as a device and not a PC, i really wouldnt call it a rig
 
ok where you setup up :p
at car of kitchen

why you want you download this stuff and save at you hd backup :S
 
this box just keeps getting better

I added a anonymizer page to the server...and now I can access blocked sites from behind a proxy (read workplace)

I can ftp to the box to fetch any files from an external location

I can run torrents/download files from an external location

best of all, using ssh, I can gain access to the linux terminal from an external location to create and run any script to do whatever I want (or whatever a PC can do)

I can ssh/telnet or even vnc (albeit slow) to the box from any other pc, symbian phone or iphone

tried on all three device types mentioned above and works like a charm (except VNC which runs slow on gprs...not that i need vnc,,I typically keep the gui disabled anyway and start it only if really needed)

Linux FTW :devil2:
 
nothing interesting abt the pics...

Porject beautification is still in initiation stage :p



Notice the lack of cables emerging from the setup :p
