How would I go about torrenting on a linux vps?

I just want to download a torrent every now and then using a vps

I'll tell you if you promise to only torrent Linux ISOs.
Do we have a deal?
Assuming you promise only to use this on Hollywood movies and copyrighted music...
Just google for Linux seedbox tutorial. For example. It's very simple.
apt-get install transmission-daemon
service transmission-daemon stop
nano /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json (change password & username, download location)
service transmission-daemon start
In browser visit your domain/IP:9091 - login
Have fun..
I was doing that after I posted this hoping I would either get someone to help me or find away to do it myself and I just got transmission running
Got transmission up and running on my box. You can close this

I have a new problem. I downloaded a CentOS ISO to test and now it's not seeding. How do I fix this?
You gotta wait till somebody leeches from you.
Ahh I see. Thanks for the help everyone!
deluge much faster then transmission... I dunno why...
(sure i'm talking about demons)
Ahh, sweeettt! The latest Centos ISO, damn. Nice seed bro. People will be leaching like.. its the end of time!
I guess that's because deluge has DHT
so does transmission
Check after a few days the Ratio of the torrent that you suspect of not seeding, if no new value shows up then something might be wrong (firewall, unpopulair torrent, etc.)
I haven't moved past rtorrent .
The 5-7 hotkeys i need to navigate it are in muscle memory.
I just use aria2, it's like a 'wget' for torrents.
Funny you say that because one is sitting at a 9.07 ratio.
Yes, please! My signed affidavit is on the way.
I am also a big fan of Deluge, I feel that it's the fastest torrent client and it's extremely easy to set up. Deluge works very well with limited resources, runs great on a 128MB VPS.
I've got an install script that builds the latest version for you:
