Which version of freeNAS for my needs?

[II GAV II]

Hi guys

I'm currently trying to research this on here, but wanted to post as well because I'm obsessed with this build!

Basically, I want to set up my freeNAS, once built, to be used predominantly for torrent downloads (preferably with something like Transmission & CouchPotatoe) and 1080p media streaming to a Smart TV and iPad.

Is there a particular version of freeNAS that I should use? (i.e. it's a very simple NAS for a straight forward purpose, so the simpler the install and configuration the better - especially considering I have ZERO knowledge on this stuff)

Cheers
Gav

Pick the latest version and install either the 64 or 32 bit version of the software. That's it.

The install is extremely simple - some people get it installed and don't even realize it's done.

Setting up the drives, configuring it, etc. will take some time.

Please read the documentation and Cyberjock's guide.
