Because sometimes I have difficulties to login to the gui but I can ftp to the server. At least if there an alert, I can just ftp and download the files.

Is Usenet downloading standard in TorrentFlux installations? Many of the torrents I create come from Usenet, so that would save me a step. I see in your screenshot the option to upload an .nzb file.

Here's something that I haven't been able to figure out: I belong to one site that logs your IP when you sign in, so then as long as your torrent client is connecting from the same IP, it's allowed through. Since torrentflux' server IP is different from my home IP (from which I login to the site) I keep getting a timeout error. Any thoughts on how to overcome this issue? Hi,
