BitHorde

Downloads are available in 3 forms, in order of convenience:

1. Ubuntu Packages
2. Generic Linux Binaries
3. Source

After download

1. Build and Install binaries if applicable/desirable.
2. Edit the provided template-config
   • Make sure to set a unique name.
   • Configure cache-directory, and cache-size limit.
   • Configure friend-nodes, keys and encryption-level if applicable.
   • If testing for the first time, keep the bhdemo-friend.
3. Start BitHorde with /path/to/bithorded <my.config>.
   • For Ubuntu, BitHorde (and the BHFuse-proxy) can be controlled using the provided upstart-service scripts. Just sudo {start|stop|restart} bithorde.
   • Otherwise, if you want to use the fuse-interface, start it manually using /path/to/bhfuse </path/to/mountpoint>.
   • -d activates debug-mode on both bithorded and bhfuse.
4. If you kept the bhdemo-friend (and activated BHFuse), you can now test BitHorde out with xdg-open <bhfuse-mountpoint>/'magnet:?dn=sintel-1024-surround.mp4&xt=urn:tree:tiger:O6Q45A2VIJJ5DHPA6DUFUHNCOQJHYVTBYRSYRRY' (mind the quotation marks to prevent shell-expansions.)
5. To test uploading assets, just bhupload <path/to/asset>. When done, it will print a magnet-link, which can be used with bhget and/or through the bhfuse mount-point.

Good luck, and please give feedback!
