Torrentflux is a php based bittorrent controller that runs on a web server. it can manage all of your bittorrent downloads from anywhere through a convenient and easy-to-use web interface.

torrentflux uses a mysql database to manage the downloads. this database may be automatically created and maintained for you (if you want), but that requires the recommended mysql-client package. if you do not have a remote database server to access, you will also need the recommended mysql-server package. (if you're not sure, then you probably need both.)

torrentflux enables you to run bittorrent downloads unattended on a monitor-less or remote server 24 hours a day, while still maintaining complete control from any web browser. now you can control your downloading on your firewall, or keep up with downloads while on vacation. it uses the bittornado client to download files, and also requires a web server with php.
