i bought the torrent mode, but when i try to upload a torrent file, it says

Error: Can't start torrent (500 Can't connect to 127.0.0.1:4081 (connect: Connection refused) )

is there anything needs to be done before this works?

Check your firewall, port 4081 should be opened.

Check bitflu log for errors then. If you will not be able to figure this out - send ssh connection info to support, we will check.

ah so i have to install bitflu. didnt know that, didnt find that on the INSTALL text, is there anything else i need to install? and do i need to install bitflu on just the webserver or on all the fileserver as well if i choose to enable the file servers for torrenting?

You don't have to install anything. Just copy the Torrents folder to cgi-bin, apply correct permissions to files/folders, then start the torrent engine from Torrents page on your site or by running ./butfu.pl from root ssh console.

i dont think i have Torrents folder. where do i get this folder from? is there a readme for torrent as in to what needs to be obtained and moved where and what permissions for what dir/file.
