DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

You can use ctorrent for downloading torrents. Of course to use ctorrent you need to have telnet access to your DSM-G600.
Get ctorrent binary from here and read manual from here http://www.rahul.net/dholmes/ctorrent/userguide.html

Without "screen" running, don't you have to keep your telnet session alive while ctorrent is still in progress?  Or do you use "nohup" to keep ctorrent going and logout?
I wasn't able to get "screen" going.  If you got it working please share your findings.

New kernel will fix "screen problem", use nohup or just add command lines to fun_plug and then reboot

Looking on the site for ctorrent, there is a script, ctcs, to be able to help control ctorrent.

Now, I'm not a complete idiot, just mostly an idiot, when it comes to trying to set it up.

I know that it requires perl (and not sure if it makes any difference but I finally got lighttpd working), and I tried downloading microperl, but when it uses microperl, it gives me an error that it can't locate strict.pm.

Is this a limitation, or do I need to download additional files to use with (microperl)?


If I could get to use ctcs, this would indeed be a wonderful step since I would like to be able to view the updates and use the other features it offers.

Thanks in advance.

Darn.  Was hoping for a way to be able to make my baby work my torrents for me, so that it frees up my computer some.  But being the impatient one that I am, I also like to see the latest stats on each torrent and such.

Thank you for the quick response. 

I'll take a look at that.  I seems like it may do the job quite nicely too.

You are definitely a wealth of information about this little wonder. 

Hi Sala,

w3btorrent looks exactly like what I have been looking for to do with my dsm. However, whenever I try to access it, all I get is a blank page. From the ligthttp log, it seems there is something wrong with my php configuration:

2007-05-29 21:12:34: (mod_fastcgi.c.2502) FastCGI-stderr: PHP Fatal error:  Call to undefined function xml_parser_create() in /mnt/HD_a2/lighttpd/www/w3btorrent/inc/class/xml.class.php on line 122

I tried it both with php4 and php5, but both give the same error. Which php version did you use, and did you have to do any special configuration to get it to work?

Thanks again for creating this great page, which actually made my dsm useful! :-)

Try this one:
http://dns323.kood.org/downloads/php-4. … bt.tar.bz2

I remember that there was something about nohup at web site or at readme.

Anyway now I have had some change to download something but I am little disappointed because there is something wrong with ajax js/php scripts. It just takes too much resource and makes Firefox not respond. Hopefully author makes some improvements in this area.

I tried that php with w3btorrent downloaded from this site. The torrent status never gets updated.
according to this: http://www.thewulong.com/w3btorrent/?pa … &qid=9 there maybe a glib version issue.
Had anyone get w3btorrent to work with DSM-G600?  finished a bt download?

Thanks

I got it to download a torrent completely. However, the web interface is not working very well. As you say, it does not update the status, and it tends to freeze up the browser. I'm not sure if this is an issue on the dsm device, or if it is because w3btorrent might only be half finished... I guess we'll have to wait for an update.

Yup, this post was mine, as anonymous. Without javascript it's working quiet ok. But personally I have had better results with transmission with cgi based web interface (if we compare ctorrent vs transmission performance).

Now there is very good webui for transmission. http://trac.recurser.com/transmission/w … ingStarted
It need's at least transmission 0.82 with daemon built in and php 5.2 version with cgi, force-cgi-redirect, json, posix, session and sockets built in. Later I might compile a package for D-Link firmware users.

And I must say, it works very well and look very good comparing to other torrent solutions for DSM-G600
