[Nottingham] Putting remote ssh processes into the background

Hello all

I'm running a small server at home, using it to download podcasts and
iplayer shows mainly. If I ssh into the machine I can start process off
nicely but I can't close the terminal on my local machine otherwise it ends
the remote process. I've tried using [command] & and also using ctrl-z and
bg but still the process will end if I want to close my terminal on my local
machine.

Any tips? I'm new to ssh (never needed it until I built this machine) so
still learning.

Thanks

Simon
