Hi
do you have one more for me??
do you have one more for me??
Congrats on being the MOTM bro.
I just saw this exciting post & seem interested ...... However, I am TOTALLY LOST & can't seem to figure out how to use this for 24/7 DL's. I am from Mumbai & my average monthly DL's are in the region of 250GB or so (I use an MTNL Broadband Connection). Can I use this for "u-torrent" ....... How do I monitor it (connect to a display to check ongoing downloads)? Is this the STAK100 model ? Are there any tutorial's on youtube etc.
The config that you mentioned just went over my head (including the one at Seagate GoFlex Home | Arch Linux ARM / If someone can help me I would be willing to learn how to use this exciting device.
Sorry If I sound like someone from the stoneage or another planet ...... But that's the truth.

Thanks! Not official yet!
Well, if you want it just for torrents, you don't need to do all that. I will install the torrent client and preconfigure it. You just need to plug it in and start using it.

Pronto & Thanks Varkey .... So let's proceed.
I will PM you for Bank details (expect a little delay from my side as it's a Saturday & NEFT transfer's + my being able to be online ......). However it's confirmed from my side.

Thanks Varkey .... now whilst I wait for the delivery. This is what I would also want to pick up (as recommended by you)
[h=1]Seagate Freeagent Goflex External Hard Disk 3.0 - 2 Tb[/h] Seagate Freeagent Goflex External Hard Disk 3.0 - 2 Tb - Buy External Hard Drives Online at Lowest Prices on Snapdeal.com
This will be mounted on the GoFlex Home
[Now since I am a noob with Linux & Debian ...... so ] .....
1] Initially I would just try to use the 2TB as storage, so how do I configure it - for torrent files to be saved (I assume I will be using the "pre-configured" usb-stick with transmission on it)....... would it have to be formatted differently, etc ?
2] Later (after a month or so) will do a separate install of Debian Linux 6.0 (Squeeze) along with a few essential apps.
3] Can I access this 2TB drive from my PC-Network & will I have access to the GUI ?
4] Can this 2TB drive be accessed by my WDTV-Live Hub patched through the ethernet route ? (to playback Hi-def content)
Note: 90 percent of my DL's are Full HD Content movies/documentaries/tutorials

1. I will be sending it with the factory firmware with a torrent client installed. All the default features will be available and you can download torrents as well. A USB Stick is not required and will not be included.
2. Yes, you can do that.
3. Yes, and there is a Web UI to manage the files or you can use the Seagate GoFlex Dashboard software.
4. Yes
