Les devoirs

Been an uneventful week, boring actually. Set up a tracker for Torrentino, getting a new server this weekend sometime which will be the primary web server, making leprechaun (the old web server) the tracker.

 

Received my Ubuntu shit a little while ago, a stress ball and two lanyards. Surprised I didn't have to pay a fee.

 

Anyway, I'd like to work on Torrentino a bit more tonight; wrap some things up. Finally Friday so I get to sleeeeeeep in tomorrow....

Friday

It's finally Friday, been waiting all week. I now have four spare processors, dual Xeon socket 604 processors. It'd be great if I could use them.... Also have some RAM too, 4GB's in total!

Torrentino has been running fine so far, server load has been low. PunBB uses a small amount of CPU usage, Torrentino itself (the system) uses next to nothing. One server for the front end + PHP, another for static content (CSS, images, etc.). I could have another server just for PHP processing, if needed. Well, atleast I'll have the hardware to expand ;)

I implemented sub cat's (categories) into Torrentino the other day, hopefullying making it more organizable (?). Next thing I'll have to tackle is being able to sort torrents (seeds, leechs, size) which doesn't seem too hard. Also looking for a new design, as this one sucks.

 

Mininova has started filtering content on some selected torrents. A way to get around it is:

  • Make your files a .rar, .zip. tar.gz whatever and password protect it.
  • Put it in a folder
  • Create an image with the password to the archive (not text file!)


Anyway, any comments on Torrentino or my work in general, is appreciated! Thanks!
