QGet alternative JGet announced

[sabbelgreth]

Hi Tabit,

Sorry for my late reply...
I just added a new route to my /etc/hosts file ("192.168.1.44 nas"), and I was able to enter "nas" instead of "192.168.1.44" in the Jget server settings.
So no problems here, it works with DNS addresses as well...

Cheers

I just finished an alternative to QGet written in Java (so it should work on almost any platform, although I only tested it on Linux). You can find it here: http://homepage.hispeed.ch/littleasia/jget.jar

Cool!

With QGet I get an annoying prompt each time I download a torrent and have Firefox dispatch it to QGet for processing. This may not be a big deal but since I get the same behaviour with TED - TV Episode Downloader - http://www.ted.nu - and thus no episodes gets downloaded unless I press that OK/YES button it becomes a major issue.

In all fairness I have not tried if I have the same issue with JGet as with QGet but I expect setting JGet as the default program to launch for torrent files will result in a new JVM being started each time and also that it would require some simple wrapper bat-script or similar to make it launch at all. Also, if you emulate QGet closely I would expect the prompting issue to be the same.

I was thinking maybe I could either hack TED to include some of your code or change JGet to not display the download dialogue. Is the source code available somewhere for download? Can I use it?

Cheers!

I posted some of the source code here: http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=4365&start=20#p47839
If you need more, let me know...

Cheers

Works like a charm on Vista w/ JRE1.6.0.07

Would it be possible to get the source code OR to know how jget interacts with the download station queues? I want to write a command-line interface so that I can easily add tasks from a shell script...

TIA

[sabbelgreth]

Hi TIA,

You can easily call the download station using http.
The url "http://192.168.1.130:8080/cgi-bin/Qdownload/btoption.cgi?name=up&index=50" for example moves the task at position 50 up by one position, given that your download station's IP address is "192.168.1.130".
I posted the commands here: http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=4365&start=20#p47839

If you want to add a new FTP download task, you have to use Http POST and add those fields:
"url" -> the ftp url
"saveto" -> the folder where to save the download

... in Java it looks like this:

Code: Select all

public void addFtp(String url, NetworkShare saveFolder,
         boolean useCredentials, String username, String password) {
      try {
         Hashtable<String, String> attributes = new Hashtable<String, String>();
         attributes.put("url", URLEncoder.encode(url, "UTF-8"));
         attributes.put("saveto", URLEncoder.encode(saveFolder.value,
               "UTF-8"));
         if (useCredentials) {
            attributes.put("ID_PWD", "ON");
         }
         attributes.put("user", username);
         attributes.put("pwd", password);

         String cmd = btOptionCmd + addFtpSubmitParam;

         getQNapUrlContent(cmd, attributes);
      } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
         e.printStackTrace();
      }
   }

Hello,
connecting to NAS works great:). I can see running jobs and also can delete them.

But adding new ones is impossible. When I enter a new url and press OK nothing happens

I guess: the problem is, that i cant choose any "network share folder". The list is empty.

Can somebody tell me how i can fill this list to select some folder.

Would be great if you guys can give me some tips.


QNAP TS-110 FW: 3.2.3 Build 0212T
JGet v 0.1

Best regards
Kevin

does nobody have any idea?

Dear all:

first of all, thank you *SO* much for writting this. it is a god send.

I have a small question regard to that "move" function. it is something badly needed, but it doesn't have much effect on me when I use it. I am using TS109pro.

am I doing anything wrong? or this software was only tested on certain device so it doesn't work on some model?


thanks


Harv

excellent work! My download rate and percentage column contents are swapped.

Thanks for JGet and the script to run on Ubuntu!
I set the extension-program association and works great in my browser and a .torrent double-click in the file-manager!

Hey sabbelgreth,

Are you still looking for a contributor? I'm using JGet now for a little while, and I'm quite happy using it. However, there are couple improvements I'd like to implement (see below) and bugs to fix. I've just finished a pet project on my, and looking for something else (I've got a fixed 8 h / week to spend).

So if you're interested, please reply or sent me a PM so we can set things up.

This is a very short list of improvements and bugs. It might be out of date, since I have no idea which version // revision I'm running. I have a few other ideas, however, these are the most pressing ones.
* keyboard shortcuts
* storing the params (my.properties) in a fixed, and known location (instead of cwd)
* resolving hostnames
* customized prompt screen, when removing files (a "yes to all" option, instead of having to press "Delete files" 20 times)
* bug: removing a subset of elements of the file list, removes the wrong elements in certain cases
* bug: headers have the incorrect text

I have just upgraded to 3.4.0 firmware, which uses a newer version of Qget. I can no longer connect to my nas using jget, it simply does not connect anymore.

Will this be updated to work with the new firmware? I am stuck without it.

thanks,

Which version of JGet do you run?
What kind of error message do you receive, if any?
Running it from a terminal, do you see any output? Tracebacks?
What kind of OS do you use? Apple or Ubuntu?

Most likely, I'll be able to look at this tomorrow.

Anyway, it's nice to see other people are using JGet
