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

Up!

Nobody using torrent client with this NAS?

DARKinVader,

That announcement on dlink.hu is ... let me put this way: a tiny bit of marketing exaggregation.

Sancho is a GUI only to mldonkey linux bittorent client. So from your PC probably running with Windows, can run Sancho to manage the bittorent client (mldonkey) running on DNS-313.

The problem is with installing mldonkey to your NAS. By default is is not installed by D-Link, you have to do it.

Check following links:

http://mldonkey.sourceforge.net
http://mldonkey.sourceforge.net/forums/ … php?t=4825 - for binary ARM compatible version
http://tomi.belcom.hu/dns323 - for some help in Hungarian
http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/080106/0345162.html - announcement from D-Link for future support bittorent from D-Link itself (built into firmware)

Regards.
(Ha lesz tapasztalatod, írd meg légy szíves, mert nekem vannak problémáim, ahogy #1-ben írtam. Köszi.)

Hi Stu274,

Actually the binary on http://mldonkey.sourceforge.net/forums/ … php?t=4825 is working ... but not perfect. Mldonkey has many flaws. There are other linux clients like:
- http://ctorrent.sourceforge.net/
- http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/
I was able to port cTorrent but I had continous runtime problem: it starts, opens connections but at a certain point get arithmetic operation failed message and hangs up.

So I am waiting the official firmware with torrent support: http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/080106/0345162.html . Hopefully D-Link will support torrent on 'low-end' devices as well.

Meanwhile I am still using PC based torrent client :-(

Regards

Hi,

Finnally I compiled ctorrent and it is working: http://www.freedrive.com/folder/20148b3 … d970d7bc76

Experience so far comparing to mldonkey:
+ it is working, no mysterious hang ups,
+ much less memory usage and can be fine tune (option -C)
+ much less CPU usage
+ leverage bandwidth maximum you setup (if there are seeder/leechers)
+ smart algorithm to fine tune up/down speed online, and share bandwidth between torrents
- only monitoring UI is based on perl script with linux specific commands (fnctl for non-blocking socket communication), cannot run script on Windows

So anyone who wants to try please check the link above. After downloading make sure library file is copied/linked to /lib. Also customized busybox can be found on the link.

Any feedback is welcomed.

Regards.

Cheers Radir I will also have a go.
It cant be any worse than MLDonkey since MLDonkey doesnt work

hi radir,

can you explain in steps how to install this ctorrent file into dns-313?
many thanks.

Hi,

Basic linux skills are required but nothing extreme. You need to be able to telnet into your box, know basic commands like cp, ln, cd; also I assume you can access your NAS as filer, so under Windows you mapped to a drive (X: ). If any of these are missing please check the documentation of DNS-323 and other forum threads.

1. download and unpack the ctorrent.zip to X:\d_ctorrent (or wherever you want, but i will call it d_ctorrent from now on; it is does not really matter by the way).
2. telnet to your box
3. enter 'cd /mnt/HD_a2/d_ctorrent'
4. enter 'ls'; you should see two files ctorrent and libgcc_s.so.1
5. enter 'ln -s /mnt/HD_a2/d_torrent/libgcc_s.so.1 /lib/libgcc_s.so'
6. enter './ctorrent --help' for paramters. Usually I use like './ctorrent -p <torrent port> -D <download bandwidth in KB/s> -U <upload bandwidth in KB/s> -C <cache in MB> -T <transfer special characters to readable> -d <daemon mode> <torrent file>

Please keep in mind:
1. As RAM is very limited (32M) use -C all the time, eg. -C 1
2. you need to add step #5 into fun_plug if you want to use ctorrent after restart device
3. there is a web based user interface called ctcs, can be used on any linux with perl. In this case add -S <ip address of linux>:<port, 2780 by default> to parameter list of ctorrent client in step #6. Thus you can monitor and change torrent threads real time.

So far it works for me but I am very interested in other's experience as well: speed, problems, crc errors, hangups, no download just upload or vice versa etc.

Hi Trasgu,

You can use a ctcs GUI (which is a perl script basically) on a Linux, or you need lighttpd for example as you said. Unfortunetly I could not compile lighttpd yet.

ctcs is not working with Windows perl as using non-blocking communication which is not implemented in Windows perl. If somebody knows what is the work around for replacing fnct function please let me know.

Regards.

Hi Naffarin,

There is a cross compile howto thread in this forum, worth to check it.
I downloaded the source GPL and followed instruction to create source.me file. That's all I use as really what need is ARM C-compiler. Usually it works - the only problem when there is a dependent library and you need to compile that too.

Regards.

Hello,

I've read your posts carrefully and managed to get ctorrent to work: thanks a lot for your work: it seems to work fine. Unfortunately, I couldn't manage to get any GUI to work. I'm not sure I understood how to use ctcs (I'm using Windows XP) nor how to get w3btorrent...
any news on this subject?

Hello,

I try this procedure but when I run part 6. I have the error message :
=======================
$ ./ctorrent --help
./ctorrent: error while loading shared libraries: libgcc_s.so.1: cannot open sha
red object file: No such file or directory
=======================
my link is :
lrwxrwxrwx    1 admin    500            35 Oct  8 19:39 libgcc_s.so -> /mnt/HD_a
2/d_ctorrent/libgcc_s.so.1

Someone have an idea?

Thanks

Hello Radir,

I've retry from the STEP 5 and I've the same error message :-(

$ ./ctorrent --help
./ctorrent: error while loading shared libraries: libgcc_s.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

=> but I try now :
$ ln -s /mnt/HD_a2/d_ctorrent/libgcc_s.so.1 /lib/libgcc_s.so.1

and now it's ok

I will try to test it now....

bye and thanks
