bittorrent downloader

Hi,
Have a look at where your harddrive is being mounted at startup (make sure that automount option is enabled) I will use this as an example "/mnt/WDPassport"

Installation:

mkdir -p /mnt/WDPassport/opt
mkdir -p /mnt/WDPassport/Torrents
mkdir -p /mnt/WDPassport/Torrents/.incomplete

mount -o bind /mnt/WDPassport/opt /opt

wget http://www.3iii.dk/linux/optware/optware-install-ddwrt.sh -O /tmp/optware-install.sh

sh /tmp/optware-install.sh

/opt/bin/ipkg-opt install transmission

/opt/bin/transmission-daemon -g /mnt/WDPassport/Torrents/.config/transmission-daemon

killall transmission-daemon

wget http://www.3iii.dk/linux/optware/settings.json -O /mnt/WDPassport/Torrents/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json

Configuration:

Now, edit "settings.json" file ("/mnt/WDPassport/Torrents/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json")

Set the following:

"incomplete-dir": "/mnt/WDPassport/Torrents/.incomplete",

"download-dir": "/mnt/WDPassport/Torrents",

"incomplete-dir-enabled": true,

Save changes in this file.

Run transmission daemon:

/opt/bin/transmission-daemon -g /mnt/WDPassport/Torrents/.config/transmission-daemon

Now you can access transmissions' web ui via http://192.168.X.X:9091

Enjoy :)

I you want transmission to be started automatically after your hdd is mounted add the below to your after-mount-script:

mount /mnt/WDPassport/opt /opt
/opt/bin/transmission-daemon -g /mnt/WDPassport/Torrents/.config/transmission-daemon

Hope this helps :)

use SSH to connect to your router.
I have the latest TomatoUSB build 54 (http://tomatousb.org/download) installed on my WNR3500L and I had no enough free space left on JFFS to install the transmission deamon.
As I stated in the beginning of my first post, have a look where your HDD is mounted (dunno how to check it in DD-WRT).

If you have router with more than 8MB of flash memory like Asus RT-N16 (32MB) and want to install optware to JFFS change the following lines from the installation script (make sure that you enabled and formatted JFFS beforehand)

mkdir -p /mnt/WDPassport/opt -> mkdir -p /jffs/opt
and
mount -o bind /mnt/WDPassport/opt /opt -> mount -o bind /jffs/opt /opt

BTW: transmission deamon is another very powerful bittorrent client http://www.transmissionbt.com

1. if you want to check the amount of flash, go to this website and type the model of your router: http://dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database

2. I don't think transmission optware supports donloading torrents via rss feeds.

When installing transmission-daemon you should also look at transmission-remote.
This program allows you to control transmission with a nice UI.
The benefit of this is you can set Transmission-remote to open .torrent files by default.
This makes the whole experience basically the same as having uTorrent installed locally but with the benefit of not needing your computer on after the torrent is loaded and files downloading directly to your attached drive so they can be accessed by any computer on your network.

On underpowered routers I also assume this uses less resources as the program runs locally on your computer to display only the status what is going on.
