You are unable to access or append any downloads to your download station, because you see the " Please Wait " and your download list never shows up. Also if you were to login to your Administration page _> Systems Logs _> System Event Logs you will see the "btd" service restarting, and failing.
Downloading Putty ( SSH / Telnet Client)
Open up a new browser window / tab, and go to http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgta ... nload.html
Download the "putty.exe" file.
Enabling Remote Login:
First login to your NAS ( http://IP_OF_YOUR_NAS:8080 )
Click in Administration _> System Tools _> Remote Login
Enable Telnet or SSH. ( ssh is more secure )
Click Apply.
Connecting to your NAS via SSH / Telnet:
Open up the putty application I got you to download, no installation required.
Type in the IP of your NAS, and use the radio buttons to select your protocol, SSH is default, or choose Telnet.
Note: if you choose to use telnet, you must use the port 13131 in putty, unless you changed this port as well.
Note: if you choose to use SSH, you will have to accept the security certificate.
After all that, you should see a prompt for " Login as: " use your admin username and password, as setup at installation time.
-- Now.. Here is the fun part. --
Part 1: Use the following commands to Save the .torrent files and a copy of your download list.
All text starting with # indicates a note, to tell you what the command will do.
Code: Select all
# Makes a Directory called torrent, under the your /Public share
mkdir /share/Public/torrent
# copies the downloadlist file to the folder we created.
cp /etc/config/downloadlist /share/Public/torrent/downloadlist
# takes you to where all your torrent files are "saved"; this will also contain the completed, paused, and finished torrents.
cd /mnt/HDA_ROOT/.config/torrent/torrent
# copied them into the folder /share/torrent
cp * /share/Public/torrent
1: Access the Public Share /Public
2: the downloadlist , and torrent files should be in here.
Part 2: Delete the download list and restarting the Download Station
Code: Select all
# Removes the torrent download list
rm /etc/config/downloadlist
#restarts the Bittorrent engine:
/etc/init.d/btd.sh restart
If you remember what you had downloading, requeue them .. or refer to the /Public/torrent/downloadlist for all the files you had
[run]ing, [pause]d and [finish]ed torrent files == The downloadlist will look all scrambled, so you may have to use vi, in your ssh / telnet session.
Sample: from telnet / ssh
Code: Select all
vi /share/Public/torrent/downloadlist
- use your cursor to nagivagate
- when done .. hit the "esc" key twice .. then :q ( esc cancels a current input commend, and :q quits vi ..
Hope this helps you out.
Wil.
