server</a>. It is
sitting there, all nice and shiny. Now it is time to actually make it do
something useful. Therefore, this guide will show you how to setup your
Raspberry to work as torrent box, that automatically downloads all your
favorite legal content.</p>
<h3>Create download folders</h3>
<p>First of all, you will need to an external usb drive to store the downloaded
files. You can find out how to connect one in <a href="https://radeksprta.eu/how-to-connect-external-hard-drive-to-raspberry-pi/">one of my other
posts</a>.
Let's say you have it mounted as <code>/media/external</code>. Then, create the
following directories for your downloads:</p>
<div class="code"><pre class="code literal-block">$ mkdir /media/external/incomplete
$ mkdir /media/external/complete
</pre></div>
