A lobber storage node is essentially a standard BitTorrent client with a very thin layer used to receive notification about new and modified torrents. A lobber storage node is provided as a twisted plugin and is installed from the python package index. There is no dependency on any one BitTorrent client but development and testing is done using transmission, a BitTorrent client designed to run as a headless standalone serverCurrently the twisted plugin works with transmission - a popular, cross-platform BitTorrent client. Other BT clients may be supported in the future.
Installing
The examples below assume a debian/ubuntu environment. If you're running another unix-like or windows OS your milage may vary. Our goal is for lobber to run on a multitude of environments and operating systems. Please provide us with patches!
Transmission
We recommend installing transmission 2.03 or later. If you are using ubuntu 10.04 you may have to install transmission from a PPA:
| Code Block |

# apt-get install python-software-properties
