Issues with setting up rtorrent

[Pikok]

Hi all!

I've recently bought myself an Asus RT-N66U and installed 3.0.0.4.374.35_4 Merlin build.
So far I am very pleased with the functionalities, but I do have a few issues and questions. I'm hoping some of you can assist me with resolving these.

I'd like to install rTorrent. The built in DM works perfectly, but I'd like the ability of using Feeds. DM cannot do this, whereas rTorrent can. I've set up entware and am able to use the opkg commands. However when I run the opkg installer command, it ends with an error:

lemmens@RT-N66U:/tmp/mnt/WD/asusware/etc# opkg install rtorrent-easy-install
Installing rtorrent-easy-install (0.2-1) to root...

#### Welcome to rtorrent easy installation script!
 We assuming no lighttpd/rtorrent/rutorrent was installed before!
 Please, answer a few question to configure torrent client.
 Default aswers given in [brackets], just hit Enter to accept it.

Type "username:password" if you want to protect Web UI or hit Enter to leave password protection disabled []: user:password
Which port should be used by web interface? [81]: 8181
Enter (maximal) download speed in KB/s [2048]: 10240
Enter (maximal) upload speed in KB/s [10240]: 10240
Enter folder name on USB drive where torrent content should be stored [/opt/torrents]: /tmp/mnt/WD/Torrent/Completed

 Done! You may open 51411-51412 TCP/UDP ports on your router to
 facilitate uploading/donwloading. It's not necessary but recommended.
 rutorrent web UI will be available at following URL:

 http://<ip_address_of_router>:<port>/rutorrent

 Do you wish to start torrent client? [y]: y
 Starting lighttpd...              already running.
 Starting rtorrent...              failed.
Collected errors:
 * pkg_run_script: package "rtorrent-easy-install" postinst script returned status 255.
 * opkg_configure: rtorrent-easy-install.postinst returned 255.

I am unable to figure out why it's throwing the 255 error code at me. I've also tried performing the installation with lighttpd disabled, but the same occurs.
Whilst trying to figure out the issue, I've also tried using nano again. I hadn't used it in a while, but nano is also throwing an error at me now:

nano: symbol 'stdout': can't handle reloc type 126

I have some more questions, but I'd love for this to be resolved first. Should you have any alternatives to rtorrent, that'd be fine as well.
My requirements are fairly straight forward:
- Torrent downloader which allows me to connect through an Android app.
- Torrent downloader with remote http access
- Requires Feed functionality

Thanking you in advance. I hope someone can assist me with these issues!

Optware (came with DM) and Entware (came with rTorrent) libraries is mixed, but can't work together.

Please install Entware on empty partition or use DM without any Entware packages.

Thanks for the reply. Am I correct to assume that you mean that I should format the partition where entware is installed? Not my JFFS partition?

Additionally, will this resolve the rtorrent installation issue?

Yes.
And don't forget to disable DM first.

Hi,

After installing rutorrent, the service is running but I cannot reach the webUI on the IPORT/rutorrent address. service restart, router reboot is done, but no success so far. Any idea? Thanks!
