Hi,

I'm looking for guides to make tranmission work on the R7000 with latest kong build but I can't find anything.

when I follow the guide I found and I type Mount

I get the following:

Code:
~# mount
rootfs on / type rootfs (rw)
/dev/root on / type squashfs (ro,relatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,relatime)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,relatime)
debugfs on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw,relatime)
ramfs on /tmp type ramfs (rw,relatime)
none on /dev type tmpfs (rw,relatime,size=512K)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,relatime,mode=600)
devpts on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,relatime)
/dev/sda2 on /opt type ext2 (rw,relatime,errors=continue)
/dev/sdb5 on /tmp/mnt/sdb5 type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=continue,user_xattr,barrier=1,data=writeback)



Thanks.

First you load the firmware build with BT included.
http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/K3-AC-Arm/24710M/dd-wrt.v24-K3_AC_ARM_BT.bin

Then mount a usb drive to /opt.

Go to Services/NAS, enable Transmission, set the path to /opt/transmission, Save, Apply.

Open a browser, go to 192.168.1.1:9091 to access the transmission GUI.

Search on the web for transmission tutorials. You'll find a bunch to choose from.

Have fun.

I'm pretty sure I've installed "dd-wrt.v24-K3_AC_ARM_BT_NEWD.bin"

How can I verify this?

Easiest way to check for BT version is to go SERVICES tab then NAS tab scroll down a little and look for the Bittorrent box where you enable Transmission. If its not there then you don't have the BT build.

Ok, so I have got that in place.

Now what I'm trying to do is format my USB 16GB device to EXT2 and then just connect it to the router?

That should do it. I have a 3TB usb drive formatted as NTFS hooked to my router which I use to stream movies via miniDLNA. I created a directory on it for Transmission to use.

But in the Services->USB tab, do you use the USB UUID on the JFFS or OPT text fields?

No I do not, you do not need any of that for Transmission to work. I'll attach a image of my USB tab.

So I've done as you suggested and I was able to log in to transmission but I'm getting an error message few seconds after I start downloading a movie.

It seems to me someone else mentioned that problem in another thread. I don't remember what their solution was or if they found one. It could be that you entered an incorrect path or permissions aren't right. In my case I just attached the USB drive and created the tor directory. Put the path for transmission and hit the apply button. It just worked out of the box.

Ok I fixed it.
The solution is simple but I guess having a simple mind like myself, it wasn't that obvious Very Happy

When adding a torrent file, it's important to use the same directory convention of the Download path.
In addition, in my case, there was no download folder and I had to create it using Putty and remote to the USB stick on the server.

Last question. I can't seem to open the TCP port required for transmission. It states port 51413 is closed.
How did you manage to open it?

AT least you are making progress! You got me wondering about that port. I guess you are talking about the "Peer Listening Port". That is showing as closed on mine too but it doesn't seem to affect the download/upload process. I'm just not sure why you are having problems. I did not do anything special at all to get it working outside of what I've already described.

Don't get me wrong. It's working and I'm able to download, it's just I wasn't expecting the port to be closed.

I think I've reached my level of incompetence on this one. I Googled and found lots of hits on this problem, most of which are not the problem here. Dealing with fire wall settings on the computer side of things or they are running a torrent from a PC. A common issue across several platforms with no common solution. Its going to take a more knowledgeable person than me. Since it works anyway I'm not going to worry about it. Laughing
