[TUTORIAL] Native Transmission on asuswrt routers through optware

[TeHashX]

Any ideas?

I modified settings.json like ryzhov_al suggested, try the new settings and post feedback please

/opt/etc/init.d/S95transmission stop
rm -r /opt/etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
wget -c -O /opt/etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json http://tinyurl.com/settings-json
/opt/etc/init.d/S95transmission start

I actually ditched the Optware version of Transmission and went with Entware and that fixed my problem. The optimized settings help as well too, mainly in keeping my router from heating up too much because of CPU utilization.

Dear All

I have an Asus n55u with the last official firmware..
following the tutorial in the first page I formatted an usb-flash (7gb) in ext2, installed and uninstalled the download master , and finally via putty I installed transmission

now i have 2 problems

1. when I trying to download a torrent, it will be stopped after few mb, no "space available on usb-flash"

2. often the usb-flash is not available under "network resources", so transmission cannot link to router

thank you

Maybe you torrent file is greather than 4 gb, try to formatt the disk as ext3 and install from scratch.
Another issue could be with your download path, probably is pointing to router storage, look in settings.json.

the file was only 1.4 gb
tonight i'll try to format in ext3 and check other settings

IF your usb flash has a label, you should replace sda1 with device label

/mnt/sda1/Transmission

with

/mnt/usb_label/Transmission

 

[Jammyz]

well

now the error is:

Impossibile collegarsi a 192.168.6.1:9091.

page not found

 

[TeHashX]

There is a typo error: 192.168.6.1:9091?
What did you changed?

 

[Jammyz]

192.168.6.1 is router IP

 

[TeHashX]

Ok, what did you do if u get this error, did u changed something? give us some more details...

 

[Jammyz]

I formatted again my 2 usb-key, one 4gb in ext 2 and second 7gb ext3..
but using gparted now...

in the first I have installed transmission and downloaded the file in the second..all seems working

thank you for your help

ok thanks
ran some trouble shooting and tried again and same results , Im using an rt-n16 with merlins latest custom firmware 3.0.0.4.354.27. it worked perfect every other time, im not sure what could have changed.

maybe someone sees if I made a mistake somewhere?

Do you use copy-paste or typing manually? here are url's

wget -c -O /opt/etc/init.d/S95transmission http://tinyurl.com/S95transmission
wget -c -O /opt/etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json http://tinyurl.com/settings-json
wget -c -O /jffs/scripts/firewall-start http://tinyurl.com/firewall-start

ok I was copy-pasting , but it worked when i actually typed it out? I did have one time when i got the same error but ran it again and it worked fine.

the only thing that I did different is that I'm on my laptop via wi-fi could that make a difference? If so i don't know how? I'm a linux noob and I learned a lot from this experience

again TeHashX thanks very much for the tools and guides for this and cherokee web server they have served me greatly so far and im sure plenty of other people .

Hi

I keep getting this error each time I run the tutorial. I have a 32GB memory key on the router. Any help appreciated, thanks

404: Not Found

Couldn't find Transmission's web interface files!

Users: to tell Transmission where to look, set the TRANSMISSION_WEB_HOME environment variable to the folder where the web interface's index.html is located.

Package Builders: to set a custom default at compile time, #define PACKAGE_DATA_DIR in libtransmission/platform.c or tweak tr_getClutchDir() by hand.
