Run computer with SSH only

Run computer with SSH only

"I use my Ubuntu computer for downloading torrents via utorrent.
I use a webui to control utorrent and i then move the files it has downloaded to different folders using ssh commands (Movies, Music etc) using my XP Pro machine. They are connected via a router.
I know the basic ssh commands what im interested in is if the computer turns off, can i get it to log in and open utorrent automatically or using ssh commands?
This would help as i would like to just leave the ubuntu box hidden away and safe."

"One solution would be to read this old post on command-line bittorrent clients, and switch to using a command-line client instead of uTorrent.

Personally, I'm happy with btlaunchmanycurses: I run it inside Screen, dumping a .torrent in the folder it's watching is enough to start it downloading, and rming the .torrent stops it seeding."

You can also try Deluge, it has both a web interface, and a normal desktop application (based on GTK) that you can use to connect to a remote computer, running Deluge.
