I've no idea either. What it does potentially do is weaken any possible evidence. And if you stand up to a bullying letter, the company ultimately has to eventually make a decision as to whether they have sufficient evidence to push it through the courts.
So, anything I can do to weaken this is a good thing IMO.
Both good points. And I don't know how long they are going to pretend that an IP address works in court. It's been shown many times that an IP address isn't a reliable way to identify someone.
Woo hoo. Just got Transmission installed on my NAS. There is a package available from the web interface to install it. Nice and easy. Now I just click a magnet in Chrome, the Remote Transmission++ picks it up, click save, and all done. Much betterer.
It's not particularly configurable, I don't think I can access the full transmission settings from the web interface that comes with it. With Remote++ I can add a list of custom folders to download to, so click magnet, select location from a list that pops up, save, done! Nice.
Definitely enabled in the siphon options, but control click works for me. Just need to sort out the raspy wifi crapping out so often and refusing to reconnect unless you reboot or replug the dongle.
Think I may have it stabilised, it stayed up all night. But I think deluged died, so need a cron to check if it's still running and restart it if not. No idea how to do any of that, though :-D
After I botched the upgrade to rc3 of xbian I did a fresh install of it and decided to try transmission. Mainly because it has an xbian /Xbmc plug in to see how the downloads are doing.
So far with rc3 the network has been much more stable, it's stayed up for 12 hours now without me having to reset the wifi and transmission has downloaded 4 hd TV episodes, previously with rc2 and deluged I'd be lucky to get one episode over night. Also the xbian plug in can pause it while watching videos, I'm not sure how well the Pi would cope playing hd from the USB hard drive while downloading at 300k/s.
