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

I'm sure there's probably an easier way, but this is what I did...

I use alt-f firmware, this allows me install and use a chroot debian squeeze package by dhub,
I then installed the various dependancies for pyload (http://pyload.org/), via apt-get install,
which is a http downloader, and then just ran the latest version.
It works well, you just cut 'n' paste a link into its webpage and off it goes,
I believe there is way to get it working with flashgot, for true one-click downloading (no cutting and pasting).

If you need more detail, just let me know, and I'll post my notes on what I did...

Btw, once you have the chroot debian installed, you are not restricted just to pyload,
you could probably get some of the other linux download managers working...

Hey, thanks for the feedback.  If it can be done, I'll put in the effort, although I'll have to re-read your post a few times come to grips with what needs doing

If you have notes, please feel free to post them... I'm a linux noob...

Join the club on being a noob , I've hassled this forum enough in setting up my Nas...

Basic steps are run alt-f firmware, install debian chroot, install pyload dependancies, install and run pyload

1) Install Alt-f
    The first thing I did was to flash the alt-f firmware to my nas,
    http://code.google.com/p/alt-f/

    The reasons I did this, was that I wanted to use a Debian Squeeze chroot,
    which needed a later kernel than the stock Dlink firmware provided.
    It also offered a slightly faster boot,
    and the ability to use ext4 file system.
    I chose to flash it, although you do not need to flash it, it can be reloaded from the original firmware.
    (you won't get the faster boot, and ext4 filesystem, but you  also won't void your warranty.)

2) Add in Dhub's repo, so as to install his Debian package.
    Go "Packages/Alt-f" in the WebGui settings and install  "ipkg" (this is a package manager)
    Still in "Packages/Alt-f" put

    http://ipkg.dhub.me/unstable

    into the "Feed 1" box, click on "Change Feed, the Update List"
    Now more packages will become available to you,
    Choose the one called "debian" and install it.

3) Update the installed debian squeeze.
    Log into you box via putty
    type "deb" to jump into your chroot
    type "apt-get update" followed by "apt-get upgrade"

4) Install the various dependancies required for pyload
    apt-get install python python-crypto python-pycurl python-beaker python-jinja2 tesseract-ocr python-imaging spidermonkey-bin  python-openssl unzip unrar

5) Get the latest pyload
    (not the normal version, this one is better suited to a nas) from here
    https://bitbucket.org/spoob/pyload/get/tip.tar.gz

6) Copy it your nas and extract it (somewhere like /mnt/sda2/debian/debian/opt/)
    which is basically just /opt, but in your chroot.
    Extract with something like
    tar -zxvf spoob-pyload-xxxxxxx.tar.gz

7) Run it once, to set it up
    Log in via putty, and type
    python /mnt/sdc2/debian/debian/opt/pyload/pyLoadCore.py

    Follow the onscreen setup.
    It'll shutdown when finished.

8) Start it (with the same command)
    python /mnt/sdc2/debian/debian/opt/pyload/pyLoadCore.py
    Just login via your web browser, on your Nas's ip and the port you put in the setup.
    Add a link and start downloading....

If you get it it going, let me know and I'll post an autostart script, so that it starts from boot,
as well as a wrapper script, that allows you to toggle it, on or off from the webgui.

Thanks again!

Can you confirm that  you can then download from a password protected site?

For the first time last night I went into the download section of the 1.07 firmware, and saw that you can add direct links in there!!!  I had always assumed that it was bittorrent only.  Unfortunately, it doesn't have  an option to add a user and pw for http links, only ftp.  So snookered again...

Cheers

Lol - I never even checked the original firmware, I wanted sabnzbd, sickbeard and couchpotato, so I needed the debian squeeze I mentioned. I only added pyload for occasional use...

I'm not to sure about password protected stuff, you might need to check the pyload forums.
As to which host sites it can download from, check this link. (It does support premium host sites as well as captcha and recaptcha).
