Similar soft for home-made NAS

[kirygnc]

Hello ppl,

I am trying to buy a NAS device similar with Qnap or Synology, coz i`ve seen their software have many features.
Although, i would like to have a similar software to install it on a PC ( home-made NAS ).

Could you help me with a similar software like the one from products Qnap or Synology?





P.S: So far i`ve found FreeNAS

I think unRAID and OpenFiler are two other options...

There is also FreeNAS

I`ve search a little for all those programs features, but didnt see torrent support.
I would like to find a software similar with qnap / synology software with their features.

- multiple users ( add / delete, groups, etc )
- torrent support
- set disk space for user / group

Pretty sure FreeNAS supports all of that... No idea how the commercial interfaces work, and its been a while since I messed with FreeNAS (going to be taking another run at it here soon), but IIRC you can set it up where you can put a torrent file in a given folder, and it will automatically download the file(s) in question to a particular folder on the server. Unless you mean you want it to be a torrent *server*, which I didn't think was all that common...

The other stuff (users/groups/permissions) sounds fairly mundane - most eveything has those features.

Didnt quite understand this part. Besides other things, yes, i would like to make a torrent seedbox ( torrent server ).

I watched again FreeNAS soft features, and he can support torrent ( transmission client ). Although, FreeNAS dont have a friendly interface imo.

Synology software ( DiskStation Manager v3 ) is java based, and really intuitive UI. I am still searching for a nicer looking UI.

If you can install a LAMP server on any of those, you could use TorrentFlux, which is a web-based torrent client.
