A Beginners Guide to Bittorrent [Part 3 - Indexing Sites]

Now that you have finished setting up your torrent client we can talk about indexing sites.
The most famous indexing site in the world is probably "The Pirate Bay". You can absolutely use this site since you are a beginner and will not have access to any private indexing sites or trackers.

A Beginners Guide to Bittorrent [Part 2 - Torrent Client]

So the bittorrent client is probably the most familiar part of the torrent network. Many people have used uTorrent or Vuze. These are both good options, but have gotten too big for their britches in my opinion. I would suggest trying a program from a smaller developer.

Deluge

I like Deluge. They are free and cross platform! They are basically what uTorrent used to be years ago. Download the program and install it. I am going to assume that you don't need help installing a program. If you aren't sure how, the rest of this guide is going to be a little more difficult that you probably want to tackle. You can always check the Deluge website for install instructions on your platform.

DIY NAS: with freeNAS - Step 1

Step 1: Preparation

• You have read Home Servers & NAS devices: an overview
• You are finally ready to dive into your first dedicated file server.
• You have decided that a low power NAS with minimal server function is what you want.
• You have no idea where to begin!

Let's assume that you are going to build your own hardware. This guide is applicable to pre-manufactured NAS boxes, but they often come pre-installed with their own software. You can probably work around that software and use freeNAS if you want, but the goal of this guide will be to help an individual to put together a terrific NAS from scratch.
