Thank you Gianps , your answer help me alot , at now Iam trying to use utorrent and xChat and a custom script , what I want to know is after downloading the torrent using torrent client I want to upload the downloaded files to my server by FTP automatically Is that possible?!

You need for sure a cronjob that checks trough a script php or whatever that the download is over. Tech Faq and Proxy Expo have an extensive list of free proxy servers.

Open 'Notepad,' and then copy and paste two or three for later reference. Click the 'Options' tab. Select 'Preferences,' and then the 'Connection' tab on the left.

Change the 'Port' option if necessary. Click 'Authentication' if a 'User' and 'Password' are required. All information required will display with the proxy address. This is simpler than MLDonkey's default interface, which can be intimating to first-time users. You can get to it via the 'Advanced' icon. Another speciality of this appliance is the browser-based file manager eXtplorer, which you can use to manipulate files and directories, as well as their permissions.

Web Shell fires up an AJAX-based terminal emulator called Shell in a Box, which you can use to log into your remote server from your web browser. Finally, there's Webmin for CLI-averse users. Webmin is a web-based configuration tool that you can use to control all aspects of your remote server, such as setting up a cron job, reading logs, managing running processes and so on. All these components are pre-configured out of the box.

Besides these visible elements, there are also additional useful components that work in the background. For example, there's the Samba file server, which ensures that you can access your server easily from Windows PCs.

You can log into the server using the credentials of the user 'root' that you set during installation. This lets you easily drag and drop files into the remote server.

Downloading and controlling torrents on the remote server is straightforward. But you can also use MLDonkey to seed your own torrents. The only real downside is that its interface isn't anything like those of the popular desktop torrent clients.
