BTPD - 'The BitTorrent Protocol Daemon' *YATT
*Yet another Torrent thread 
After trying some torrent client solutions (D-Link fw 1.05 buildin, MLdonkey) i found no client which satisfied me.
D-Link client seems not sophisticated. It disappeared on my DNS after few weeks.. IMO the 'official' client is not on main focus at D-Link. Its just meant to be a 'goody'.
MLDonkey comes with a huge variety of features but seems to be overloaded for useage with the DNS. It takes lots of memory.
So I tried btpd included in ffp 0.5. This works like a charm. Slim and fast and very resource friendly. Mem usage at around 4 %.
The only problem I have now the client seems to stop without any reason. I log in again after while to see my downloads and it couldnt connect to the deamon. 'btcli: cannot open connection to btpd in /home/root/.btpd: Connection refused'
Downloads are not finished at this time. After restarting the client, torrent downloads continue.

Any others haveing this issue? Maybe its caused by HD sleep mode?

/home/root is on the ramdisk with only about 2MB free space. The README says "btdp will store information and write its log in $HOME/.btpd." Are you sure it's not running out of disk space? Try using the -d switch.
Also, you should consider running btpd as an ordinary or even special user. Running bittorrent clients as 'root' looks dangerous.

Re: BTPD - 'The BitTorrent Protocol Daemon' *YATT
What about mounting a folder on the HD to /home/root/.btpd? This could be done in the startup script and would then write to the HD instead of ramdisk.
Something like: mount -t ext2 /mnt/HD_a2/.btpd /home/root/.btpd
Of course you would have to first create the /mnt/HD_a2/.btpd directory.

I will try this later. Thanks. But as fonz mentioned security issues on running as root, I probably will try some user.

That would be "mount --bind ....", right?
Anyway, -d or a different user with $HOME on disk should take care of it.

From a traditional standpoint, yes, but in the version of busybox you compiled in ffp 0.5, it is not needed. The regular mount command without the bind option works. To keep in sync with the documentation, though, the bind or rbind option should probably be included.

Didn't know that. The busybox people do funny things, sometimes.

Re: BTPD - 'The BitTorrent Protocol Daemon' *YATT
Here is the solution:
A regular start of the btpd deamon makes it executing in root directory which is traditionally not the best in DNS323.
After having a look in here http://www.murmeldjur.se/btpd/README and with little guidance by fonz, I just started the daemon in another directory.
btpd -d /mnt/HD_a2/newpathtobtpd/
When using the btlcli command you have to give the path where btpd is running also.
btcli -d /mnt/HD_a2/newpathtobtpd/ add -d torrentdirectory (to be created) torrentfile.torrent
