Hey guys I have looked at many forums and this is a very hard item to find, can anybody put together a COMPLETE WINDOWS BASED OS SEEDBOX SETUP AND USE GUIDE. There are post for help in setting up Linux boxes everywhere but precious little info on setting up a seedbox using a Windows based OS with Windows Server 2003. What little info I have found states that all one needs to do is connect via the remote desktop and install uTorrent and away you go, just as if it is on your home PC. I find this a little hard to swallow. What about an FTP server software, how about logging in to the server to use uTorrent, uTorrent WebGUI information (that would be especially useful as the uTorrent site as very little info on how to use it). basically an A-Z is what I am asking for . All my experience with seedbox usage has been with a Linux based server and I am moving away from that in the next few days. Anyone that currently uses a Windows based server your help would be greatly appreciated and highly prized. Thanks.

I'm going to help with the initial setup. SpecialK will then post a tute based off of the steps that I give him. Sorry, I don't have time to post a tute, but it will be available soon.
The FTP part will need to be done by someone else as I currently don't have the monthly bandwidth to even use FTP.

Good start, I have something like that but with even more comprehensive info on how to build a bit torrent box, several different ways to make a home server, using uTorrent Webgui, and tons of other stuff a very useful site indeed. I strongly recommend bookmarking this page:
