Torrential, Web-interface for enhanced-ctorrent and possibly other command line torrent clients. It's designed to run on embedded systems with appweb such as the NSLU2, but can be potentially installed on any system with php and enhanced-ctorrent (tested with version dnh3.1-9 only). Please leave a comment if you tried it on any other system. I am still working on GPLing the code, so be patient. I am using the config script and some ideas from a early version of Kai-T's torrent interface, however it's a complete rewrite except for the configuration read/write script.

Update: I decided to post a preview release. It's not tested, because i am not able to test properly right now (my overseas download speed at home in Shanghai is about 2kb/s right now with an enormous package loss). The code needs a clean-up, there's no installation manual and i borrowed some pieces of code from other projects, which will expect a proper attribution. If you decide to try this, please let me know how it went. Since this is just an Web interface, you need to have enhanced-ctorrent installed, i did not try to use ctorrent.

Update 07.07.07: I fixed problems with recent version of enhanced-ctorrent. Make sure you use the latest version "dnh3.1-9". Do ipkg update; ipkg upgrade enhanced-ctorrent
Update 25.07.07: Fixed the link in the installation howto... sorry.
Update 17.08.07: Quick fix in inc_functions.php for the stupid, no options "ps".
Update 21.01.09: Included many fixes, most stable release to date ;-)

Should I ever need to detect with PHP if a user has IPv6, this code snipplet should do the job:

<?php
$ip = getenv ("REMOTE_ADDR");
if (substr_count($ip,":") > 0
    && substr_count($ip,".") == 0) {
 echo 'You are using <a '
  .'href="http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/whois.ch?ip='
  . $ip . '"> IPv6 </a>';
} else {
  echo "You are using IPv4";
}
?>
