Howto: Transmission Bittorrent with Clutch Webinterface

[awenger]

I've also installed Transmission & Clutch on my CS407 and it works perfect! Thanks for the great guide.

However, I'm also using Transmission & Clutch on my Mac and Clutch gives me the possibilty to have users to login. So that not everyone can connect to my Clutch from the internet. Is this also possible on my CS407? I read the whole transmission.conf, but didn't found an option for it.

Tansmission bittrorent with clutch webinterface work on my DS207 perfectly, but after restart transmission don't start automaticaly.
My /opt/etc/rc.optware file is :
#!/bin/sh

# Start all init scripts in /opt/etc/init.d
# executing them in numerical order.
#
for i in /opt/etc/init.d/S??* ;do

# Ignore dangling symlinks (if any).
[ ! -f "$i" ] && continue

case "$i" in
*.sh)
# Source shell script for speed.
(
trap - INT QUIT TSTP
set start
. $i
)
;;
*)
# No sh extension, so fork subprocess.
$i start
;;
esac

done

transmission-daemon

Where is the problem?

If i run transmission-daemon manual its work.

Problem:
So, clutch and transmission seemed to install OK. I can add a torrent manually through clutch (the source directory in the transmission config doesn't seem to work). But, the torrent never starts downloading. It just sits there at 0%. The inspector only ever lists 1 leech (which I assume is me) and 0 seeds.

What I've tried:
I've tried this with different torrents and get the same result. I'm forwarding both the ports from transmission config and clutch in my firewall (even though it's only the clutch port I can see listed with connections in my firewall logs.

Other:
utorrent on my windows box works fine, so I don't think it's an ISP/torrent issue.

What else can I try?

Hello,
I think you should add "/opt/bin/transmission-daemon" instead of "transmission-daemon". On my DS it works !

Hello everybody,
first of all thanks for the wonderful guide: everything works like a charm on my DS-107e, and with very interesting DL rates...

A couple of questions for you gurus:

- I see that a port 51413 incoming is mentioned in Clutch prefs: what's it? Do I need to open/forward it
on my router? Will it somehow improve something?

- I added a couple of torrents BEFORE setting my preferred download dir. Where do I find these files?

Thanks a lot!
Nanni

Yeah, obviously. It's the port transmission will use, and as always in filesharing, forwarding that port is generally a good idea.

I added a couple of torrents BEFORE setting my preferred download dir. Where do I find these files?

Uh, dunno. You can login via SSH/Telnet and try

Code: Select all

find / | grep -i <part of filename>

(withouth the <> of course). It should show you the complete paths, but it'll take a while.

I've installed Transmission and Clutch on my CubeStation CS-407, and it works very nicely, has a beautiful UI, seeds torrents when finished... but it's very slow.

I've got a torrent that downloaded at 200kB/sec with the built-in Download Manager that only downloads at about 20-50 kB/sec with Transmission. (Same file, at the same time, just stopping the torrent in one client & starting it in the other.) The problem seems to be connecting to seeders; Transmission is showing me "17 of 49 peers" connected on a file with 1316 seeds & 830 leechers. It never gets above about 20 connected peers even after an hour. There's no upload or download limit set, and using Azureus on my computer with the same torrent file I can easily get >500 kB/sec on it. Download Manager, Transmission, and Azureus all give me about the same upload speed of 40 kB/sec.

Any idea what could be causing it to only connect to a few peers at a time, no matter how many are available?

Dear all,

I'm really new babies for Linux command, may anyone tell me ->>> "Uncomment the "mod_fastcgi". To do that, remove the # at the beginning of the line." This is how to do it with Putty softwares in windowxp?

thanks a lot.~~

[commonpl]

anyone can give me a help?~~

Hey Guys!

Well...everybody says that the "How-To"-Tutorial is great! Uhhmm.....

I´m sitting here 5 hours....and try to install this stuff and i´m really f**** up about that...

it sounds so simple...install transmission, install lighttpd, install php, install php-fcgi

install transmission...no problem
install lightttpd...to install lighttpd you need libpcre and zlib...to install libpcre not possible because there is noch Gcc or CC....try to install gcc...gcc cannot installed because there is no gcc!!???

W T F!!?!??

I make a Directory "public" as told and tryed to installed from there. ARM MArvell botstrap is also installed from that directory. I´m uisng a 207+, firmware is: 2.0.3 - 0518.

Where is it simple or where are the missing steps?? Whats going wrong?

@commonpl
You to that using a program called "nano". Nano is a really simple text editor, you can just move your cursor with the arrow keys of your keyboard and press the delete key when the cursor is over the # you want to remove. When you're done, you can save with ctrl+X and then say Y.

@Horazon
You probably have a wrong feed. If you install lighttpd using IPKG, all the dependencies like libpcre should be installed automatically.
You should have something like the following in /opt/etc/ipkg.conf or a file in /opt/etc/ipkg/.

Code: Select all

src packages http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/syno-x07/cross/unstable/

[Horazon]

Hola pablo!!

Ah ok!! I don´t have to compile by myself...thats already done..ok....thanks fort that.
I installed lighttpd and pcre.

But next problems occur when I want to install php-fcgi and php...

DiskStation> ipkg install php-fcgi_5.2.5-1_arm.ipk
Installing php-fcgi (5.2.5-1) to root...
Nothing to be done
An error ocurred, return value: 1.
Collected errors:
ERROR: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for php-fcgi:
php (5.2.5)
DiskStation> ipkg install php_5.2.5-1_arm.ipk
Installing php (5.2.5-1) to root...
Nothing to be done
An error ocurred, return value: 1.
Collected errors:
ERROR: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for php:
libxslt cyrus-sasl-libs openldap-libs

Waht does this mean? By the way, there was no pcre or something installed in ipkg...i cannot find the ipkg config file although.

Very thanks so far!

edit:

Uhm ok..I got it..i have to install that too...
...hard to be a noob....

Finally i've sucessfully installed transmission and cluth on my DS107e, but it seems that the peer connection always stated around 15-16eers, out of totally 50 peers, is there any way to edit the config so that it can connect as many as peers?

[pableu]

If you'd use the right ipkg-feed, all the dependencies would be resolved automatically and there wouldn't be any problems like "ERROR: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies" at all.
Anyways, glad it worked for you. And no, you cannot easily change the behaviour of transmission, and it's probably better that way.

[markm]

could you help a newbie setting this up, through msn....?
