Download Master problem

[nszb]

Hi all!

I just bought WL-500GP today..
I have 1.9.6.8 firmware installed and USB hard disk with ext3 fs mounted.

My problem is that the Download Master changes my BT downloads state from downloading to queued and back to downloading 4-5x in 10 minutes. Sometimes the downloads are queued for 10-15 minutes, and nothing happens.

What should I do? What is the reason of this issue? Anybody knows?

Thank you in advance!

Download Master seems to be a very sucky client. I am experiencing the same queued/transferring transitions all the time. What's more, I haven't managed to download anything larger than 1 GB: at a slightly larger downloaded size DM decides that number of peers has dropped to 0 and stops downloading.

Additionally,
1) downloads are not resumed if router is restarted
2) some BT downloads won't initalize: a perfectly valid torrent file doesn't get the 'BT' network label and filesize is set to be '2B'

Same..
What should we do?? :confused: Download Master feature is the major feature wherefore I bought WL-500GP... :mad:

I'm thinking of scrapping Asus, buying myself an actually working Linksys and hooking it with one of my old laptops. I could live without all that USB-related stuff but not being able to cover my entire flat which my previous Apple Airport Express wireless router handled easily, well, that really pisses me off.

That or wait through x versions of firmware updates that will or will not fix most of these hickups.

I installed OpenWRT on it, I use a 1 GB kingmax SuperStick with 80 MB of swap and ctorrent works like a charm. I don't need some stupid download master, I use SSH to download stuff on the router without a computer running.
I will use Oleg's version when it will be more stable becouse I want the old asus webinterface and SSH/ipkg features.

Yea, download master have is a little bit shitty :) Often when you change name of the torrent file it helps. Maybe in later version Asus change something for better ;)

phantasm: Change the name of the torrent file to what??

I'm testin oleg's -pre4 and it works really better than original fw.
I just miss torrent download capability and I heard you taking about ctorrent.

Would someone bo so kind and explain me how is it with installing new applications to WL-500?
I noticed that whatever I change, it's lost after reboot, unless I follow that 'flashfs' procedure, and even then not everything is stored.

So can I make my own scripts, cron jobs, install my own daemons ? How do I permanently save the changes?

Are there instructions available for ctorrent installation for WL-500?

Thanks!

Change name to something really simple, like "1" or "x". It helped me in my case.

When it has more than 256 characters it won't load.
