Torrents
Torrents is an HDAized version of the popular Torrent Flux downloader.
Tips
The very first login creates an administrator user, so remember what you type the first time for password! From the program:
'''IMPORTANT:'' The first time you access the application, you will be prompted for a user/password -- this is when you will set the SUPER ADMIN user and password by what you enter. For example, you pull the site up for the first time, you will be prompted to login and if you put in user: 'goombah' and password: 'iama' then your super admin user account will be set to goombah/iama -- cool? You are ready to access the application!
This application can be accessed by simply typing torrents in the URL of your browser, or in other words, going to http://torrents/.
Once a torrent URL has been loaded, it has to be "run" in order for the download to start. One does that by clicking on the green icon for run: 
The downloads all go into folders accessible as \\hda\torrents, one per each user of the app. That directory is world writeable (for now).
Hover the mouse over the status of a download to show full details on it.
Useful Firefox Extensions
Firefox Torrent Handler Extension, available Here allows you to right click on a .torrent file linked in a webpage and send it to your TorrentFlux system for queuing or immediate download. You can also login to your server with a right click or by clicking on the green icon at the bottom right corner in Firefox. Remember when setting your server URL (http://torrents/) that you include that final "/" or you will end up at a search page on the Internet. This works for the B4RT version of Torrentflux also. You just need to change your URL (http://B4RT/) for the new link.
iTorrenflux is an uploader extension also available Here, for Mac OS X. Sorry no Mac to test this one on.

Instructions for using a Private Tracker
One of the Trackers I frequent is a Private Tracker. They like to say that the .torrent file is personalized for you. I had trouble using this Tracker with TorrentFlux until I found this Link today. There is a disclaimer though, it may not work with all Private Trackers.
