Headless torrent box

After a system reboot, check that both services started:

Code:
sudo systemctl status deluged 
sudo systemctl status deluge-web 

Next from any other computer or device on the network, browse to the IP address of your Pine box on port 8112. You should be prompted for the web password (default is "deluge"), then prompted to change it (do that).

Pick any Android device to be your controller, install Transdroid (either using f-droid or directly from the apk) and the Transdroid Torrent Search plugin (f-droid or here). Run the main app, then menu-->settings-->add new server-->add normal, custom server followed by server type-->Deluge 1.2+, select Deluge web password then enter the password you just created, and enter the IP address of the Pine box.

You can now search for torrents in Transdroid (or in the browser, since it registers itself with the OS for for magnet links), and they will be downloaded by the Pine directly to your network folder. Install the app on as many phones/tablets as you want, they all share the same download queue!

My router allows me to share the same network drive as a DLNA server, so that means the download is also available to stream to smart TVs, or via the Android app BubbleUPnP (to a Chromecast perhaps?), etc. If your router doesn't do that, I'm sure the Pine could handle that aspect too.
