Hi there...
thanks to the guys who showed how to set up a debian system, i was able to get a basic torrent-autoloader working.
i use ctorrent and a shell script (i found somewhere and changed a little bit) which goes like this:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
DL_DIR=/mnt/HD_a2/Files/torrents/Download;

if [ "$(ps | grep -i "ctorrent" | grep -v grep)" ]
then
    echo "['date'] tqueue: ctorrent already running" >> $DL_DIR/.log ;
    break ;
else
    cd $DL_DIR/queue ;

    for NAME in $(/usr/bin/find -name "*.torrent") ;
    do
        echo "['date'] tqueue: new torrent found, downloading $NAME" >> $DL_DIR/.log ;

      mv $NAME $DL_DIR/active ;
      cd $DL_DIR/active ;
        /bin/ctorrent -e 1 -U 30 -p 6882 $NAME ;

       mv * $DL_DIR/ready ;
    chmod -R 777 $DL_DIR/ready/*

        exit ;
    done
    
    echo "['date'] tqueue: no new torrent found" >> $DL_DIR/.log ;
fi

change the Download directory "DL_DIR" to your needs, add an entry to etc/crontab like:

Code:

*/1     * * * * root    /script-path/script

import the crontab for the root user (crontab -u root /etc/crontab)
and ctorrent will download the files one at a time without the need to start a download session manually (so you can actually turn off any computers and let the DNS-323 do the downloading stuff).
it works for me so far but i´m sure there are tons of better ways to get this thing working .

Nice one, I haven't tested it but it looks good. Maybe we can expand this script to run multiple torrents at once.

Apskaft · 2007-02-10 12:00:02

Also, take alook at these scripts. Multiple trasnfers and WEB GUI, ctorrent as torrent-engine.

edit: Added ctorrent which runs as standalone - no need for debian sarge using this. Just put in lnx_bin. Requires modificaton to script above.

i read that article before but didn´t want to go through the hussle of running a php-webserver on arm and all the other stuff. as far as i know there is no crond comiled for the dns-323 or is there? i wish we could drop the chroot enviromnent, too . did anyone ever try to use openslug on the dns-323? they say it should be compatible with arm processors and their package system works like charm.

yeah, i wish we could do that...but i have no idea about memory limitations and how much connections the dns-323 can handle...web interface would be awesome as well...right now i can only see that ctorrent is running, nothing more.

cron is already running on the unit....

# # ps | grep cron

1024 root 328 S crond
26176 root 244 S grep cron

you´re right...haven´t really checked. well, so we can skip chrooting but i still don´t know about downloading multiple torrents at once. i downloaded my first gigabyte torrent today and it worked hassle-free .

Hi there,

after several difficulties I managed to run the OpenMSS Q3 WebGui for CTorrent and I must say: THIS ROCKS!
My unit now has a Debian Etch, lighttpd and php4 installed, running swiftly and without any problems.

If there is interest, I would contact the author of the Q3 and ask for permission to upload the modified package and write a little HowTo...

Greetings

votum · 2007-04-13 11:58:41

Raven.

Please contact the author - I want this to work on my DNS-323, but as the total newbie I am, I'm totally lost without a HowTo-guide. My computer is running with UTorrent 24-7 at home which isn't that good. This solution would rock my world for sure!

czeslaw · 2007-04-13 16:15:44

Hi Raven,

I am also interested. It would be fantastic if you could upload the package.

It was really nice work of you to get it to work.

Raven · 2007-04-14 18:02:29

Hi there,

contacted the author, no reply, hope he will react soon... next week university starts again, hope I find enough time for the HowTo...

Greetings

coalfield · 2007-05-07 21:32:11

This how to would be great! Just the thing I am looking for! Keep trying!

Raven · 2007-05-07 21:33:42

Problem with the HowTo:
I had to modify some little things (easy but had to be done) and without the permission of the owner of the code, I cant publish anything (but help via PM )

eilz · 2011-03-01 01:56:38

I know its an old thread, but does anyone (hopefully Raven) still have a copy of the Original OpenMSS Q3 scripts from http://www.openmss.org/HowTo/TorrentDownloader

Link broken.., I have an old Maxtor with OpenMSS and want to setup CTorrent with web gui

Thanks in advance.. I'd really appreciate it any help..
