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

Is it just me, or is Transmission becoming a bit heavy?

Older versions had less features but they used less resources.  The 323 struggles to keep up,  Transmission hogs all resources and my Samba performance is terrible if Transmission is running.
This wasn't the case back 1.4x days.
Of course downgraded isn't possible due to tracker restrictions.  Oh well, I guess I need a faster NAS.

I'm having trouble with a fresh install on a DNS-323 Firmware 1.10

curl-7.18.1.tgz and Transmission-2.76-1.tgz unpacked and installed fine.
curl-7.21.4-arm-1.txz, Transmission-2.76-arm-1.txz, curl-7.24.0-oarm-1.txz, and Transmission-2.76-oabi-1.txz all generate the error

/mnt/HD_a2 # funpkg -i curl-7.21.4-arm-1.txz
tar: invalid gzip magic
FATAL: curl-7.21.4-arm-1.txz: Failed to unpack package

I tried redownloading the files.  Same result.

I am able to connect to Transmission via GUI in web browser.  I added a couple BT files but I receive the error "Could not connect to tracker" for all Tiers.  I'm not sure if the problems are related.   I've spent hours trying to solve the latter problem but realized the first problem may be the culprit.

Thanks!

Thanks KyleK!  That explains it.  I have fun_plug 0.5 installed so tgz files are all I need.

Now to figure out why Transmission does not connect.  I think it is related to my port forwarding.  My DNS-323 is connecting through two routers and my port must not be forwarded correctly.  This issue is out of scope for this thread so I won’t bother you with it.  Thanks again KyleK!

I believe the curl package is installed properly.  I issued these commands and they were successful...

$ funpkg -i curl-7.18.1.tgz
$ funpkg -i Transmission-2.76-1.tgz

It wasn't until I tried to unpack the txz files for fun_plug 0.7 that I encountered the "invalid gzip magic" error I mentioned.

Is there a way to verify that curl unpacked correctly?

Hey guys,

I have Transmission running on my NSA320 (thanks to KyleK) and I was wondering, can I set it up to use a VPN connection when downloading?
If the answer is yes, how? (you just knew there was a catch right?)

I don't mind if all the traffic going outside (WAN) goes through the VPN as all I do on the box is Transmission.
As long as all the internal traffic (LAN) does not. Of course.

Looking forward to hear if it is possible.

Ok, sorry, i actually found something here:
http://dns323.kood.org/forum/viewtopic. … 254#p45254
the message is from 2012-02-10 and says:

"I suggest that owners of the older NASes (DNS-323, CH3SNAS), stay with ffp-0.5 for now."

is that still true?

No, that's not correct anymore. Owners of the older devices (DNS-323, CH3SNAS) should use ffp-0.7-oabi and the respective packages.
(Unfortunately, some packagers still name their packages <name>-oarm.txz even though the package is actually oabi. Thus be careful where you get the packages from.

Hi

1. Where can i see my ffp version? 0.5 0.7 and arm or oabi? (as i understand it DNS-323 needs oabi when running 0.7, but I dont know if I am at 0.7 or 0.5?)

2. Why should DNS-323 owners upgrade from ffp 0.5 to 0.7oabi?
My current transmission 2.60 works ok - a bit slow and sometimes it hangs but I guess that could be due to only having 10% disk space left?
I think I have ffp 0.5 since I never upgraded ffp since my first install of transmission version 2.11 and back then I guess ffp 0.7 wasnt avaiable or?

Sorry about the n00b questions and thanks for the last reply regarding the log file

Hallo KyleK!

I'm a happy user (a newbie of course) of DNS-320L . I'm considering using of fun-plug v.0.7. I only have one problem (and a request)... One of privet trackers i'm using accepts Transmission v2.42 (highest Version they accept). I can't prepare (compile) this application. Could you be so kind and help me? I'll be grateful!

Best Kuba

Hi all,

Found this guide form Google & another site to get Transmission installed on my DLink 320. Now everything seems to have gone great so far except my install for transmission hangs on:

DHT Attempting bootstrap from dht.transmissionbt.com (tr-dht.c:247)

I have tried reinstalling and it always hangs on the same line. Now initially I just CTRL-C and carried on but then the transmission web page allowed me to log in once and never again hence the reason for the reinstall. Can anyone help me in getting this sorted out? I found this thread on your board: http://dns323.kood.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=6701 but I dont really understand how to fix my issue...

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Oh and the web page I followed to here is this one: http://klseet.com/index.php/d-link-dns-320-nas/173

*edit*

When the NAS reboots I get this message re-occurring in the transmission-daemon.log file:

tr_crypto error:24064064:random number generator:SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:PRNG not seeded (crypto.c:113)

What does that mean and how do I solve it?

Hi All I really need: Transmission-2.42-1.tgz

I've looked at http://kylek.is-a-geek.org:31337/files/ffp/0.5/ but there is no such version - could you share with me with this file ?

cheers

Hi KyleK thx for quick reply, could you give me some tip, or manual how can I compile this client by myself ?
I've tried to talk with trakcker admins but they refuse to allow new versions I don't know why.

To be honest I expect that someone will have this old version on his HDD and share with me

cheers

I happen to have most versions back to v1.92

Transmission-2.42-1.tgz

Make sure your NAS is properly configured, primarily for DNS and Gateway. From a prompt, try and ping a website by name.
