Bittorrents in FreeNAS « ejes consulting
Among the many features that I enjoy in the FreeNAS project, one of my very favorite ones is the Bittorrent Server that it has built in.
Really it’s just a verion of Transmission bittorrent web client which I remember from Mac OS. (http://www.transmissionbt.com/) but running in WebGUI mode (by default on your freeNAS server on port 9091 http://freenas:9091 or similar)
The features that I want specifically is the blocklist feature, which allows you to download a list of blocked ips from known malware locations or otherwise malicious sites, and the ability to encrypt my traffic so that my ISP cannot detect my bittorrent traffic.

Revealed: the best Linux distro for your netbook | News | TechRadar UK
With their dependency on networking and limited hardware, netbooks ask more of their OSes than many modern computers. And from what we've tested here, it seems fairly obvious that no one has quite perfected the art of cloud focused Linux yet.
That said, the best reason to move away from the pre-installed distro on your netbook is if you can garner the advantages of a larger parent OS, enabling you to install plenty of useful upgrades and packages, rather than being restricted to a small subset of netbook-specific apps.
Which is why the winning distro, EeeXubuntu, best nails down the essence of what makes a netbook distro change a good idea. It builds on the foundations of Ubuntu's popularity. Fundamentally, that success is based on reliability – perfect for netbooks, where you want something that will work straightforwardly and without any fuss.
EeeXubuntu provides that in spades and of the distributions reviewed here, it was the one that was the least painful to set up and to use.

HowTo Install FreeNAS
FreeNAS is probably one of the easiest installations out there. I can’t believe that it takes only a few minutes to perform a complete installation of an operating system.
This article will walk you through the installation process for FreeNAS. If you successfully follow the instructions in this article, you will have completed everything needed from the actual computer. Once these steps are done, you will be able to remove the monitor, keyboard, and mouse from the system as everything else will be done from the webUI (web-based user interface)! There is also a video showing an actual FreeNAS installation on VMWare.

I'm going to share my experience with FreeNAS, the freeBSD-based, open-source NAS software for turning your old PC or new, low-powered Atom-based PC into a NAS (networked attached storage). Since NAS is all the rage now, why not build your own, right?

Local User Management in FreeNAS
In general, once the FreeNAS server is configured and running, it doesn't really need much attention, it should just work. However, there are lots of different features which can be configured. In this article by Gary Sims, we will see how user management is done in FreeNAS.

Problem
Transmission doesn’t include any scheduling functionality to start/stop/trottle torrents during the day/week.

LinuxPlanet - Reviews - 3 Minutes to 3 Terabytes: VIA ARTiGO and FreeNAS Store Terabytes in a Shoebox - 3 Minutes to 3 Terabytes
Network Attached Storage (NAS) is one answer to sharing large storage devices over a network. You could buy a NAS device from your favorite local or Internet supplier, but chances are you'll wind up with something less than what a "real" NAS has to offer. That's where VIA's ARTiGO A2000 comes in. The A2000 fits a full-featured computer with space for two 3.5" SATA drives in a package about the size of a shoebox. Add to the hardware the FreeNAS open source software and you've got a really capable storage solution.
