I have been using the torrentflux contrib for some time now and am very happy with results. The one thing I need help with is that since the downloaded files are stored in /opt, nobody can get to them once they are downloaded. How do I get them into an ibay or other pc? Currently I am using winscp but I would like something easier. I read the manual but I could not see anything helpful in it.
Any suggestions?
Thx in advance.

I use torrentflux myself but I installed it in an ibay instead of simply using the contrib which I unfortunately found some days after installing. :-?
I just had a look at the wiki page for the contrib and noticed that it's now using tf-b4art. But I don't know how much this one differs from my installation.
Anyway, if I login to torrentflux using an admin account and then go to settings I can specify the download path there.

some options
create a symbolic link
add a samba fragment to create a new share
tf-b4rt has a link in the browser to d/l from the web interface
[root@kiwi ~]# cat /etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/smb.conf/50torrent
[torrent]
comment = torrent Files
path = /opt/b4rt/html/downloads/
browseable = yes
read only = no
writable = yes
printable = no
inherit permissions = yes
create mode = 0660

Thanks for the replies;
Niklas;
I see where I could change the download directory but I am not sure if that helps. If I change it from /opt/b4rt/html/downloads to /ibay/movieshares (or whatever), it will be downloading and uploading to that directory. I think that if you try to play some content that is being seeded or still downloaded there will be an issue. Is that your experience?
Snoble;
I think you suggested three different possibilities and detailed one, correct me if I am wrong. I don't know which you have detailed. I wikipedia'd symbolic link and the cat command but I still don't see where you are going with this. If you could indulge me a citation or a more detailed explanation I'd be grateful.
I found the link in the browser to d/l from the web interface. I think that this is the cleanest solution, I'll download to the server then d/l again to my separate pc feeding my tv.
By the way, since I installed tf-b4rt and downloaded sme7.3, I've seeded it 2,500% which means I guess that notionally I've uploaded it to 25 different users. Another way to spread the word on sme.

Allright, I see what you mean. :-)
But I don't use torrentflux that much and don't need to play movies that are still downloading/seeding so I didn't had a problem with my method yet.
