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

[peterr]

i had the same problem,i saw the partition and could access the HDD


i called yesterday with Asus germany.
they told me that the harddisk needed at least one FAT32 partition.
and that the first partition always a FAT32 partition must be.
i made a FAT32 and 1 NTFS partition.
but the strange thing was,that i couldn't write anything on the NTFS partition.
even i couldn't make a new folder in the share node list.
so i changed the NTFS partition into 2 FAT32 partitions
(2 partitions because i thought that the sice was to big for 1 partition)
,and it worked fine for me .the only problem is that there is a file sice limit with FAT32.

i hope this is helpfull for you .
sorry for my english(i'm dutch)

Your English is not bad at all =) I think my problem is that my first partition is a NTFS and not a FAT32, so I'll fix that. I think I'll make the partition to a EXT2 partition (should work with wl500gP). With EXT2 you don't get the file size limit

I will let you know if it works for me

it's probably like peterr says..

he tells that Asus told him that the first partition MUST be a Fat32 partition, furtherway you will never be able (although not now) to write to the NTFS partition using one of those routers

this is a current limitation of Linux not of the router

[peterr]

first,i had also only EXT2.
i can tell you,it doesn't work at all.
I didn't try to make of the second or third partition an EXT2 partition.
maybe i will do it later.
Or is there someone else with an EXT2 partition.

What i mean:
first partition : FAT32
second partition :EXT2

okey, now I got one FAT32-partition(the first partition) and one EXT2 partition, and Download Master got status "online", BUT it still don't work one problem is that it seems like I can't chose to save files on the EXT2 partition, so I can't download files over two GB's. The other problem is that the torrents stands a very long time with status "queued".

[peterr]

I had the same problem.

thats why i've made only FAT32 partitions.

The second problem with the download master is that you can't shutdown the router / harddisk.
you must download the file in one time.
you can't say: i'll do the rest tomorrow.
you file will be gone in the Download master list.

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.

Okey "Download Master" really sucks(The BitTorrent downloads are queued for no reason, you can't choose to download just some of the files the torrent contains, etc.). Is there any other BT-clients who can be used with wl-500gP?

Hello, i have buy this router yesterday and i have an extern hard disk.
The extern hard disk have 3 partitions 100 GB each with fat32.

In windows (xp proff) i see the 3 partitions correctly with network and the share name off the router.

The settings enable download master and enable download share are yes.
and i use the lower port for the connection. When i change lower to upper i cannot reach the share with my network. I guess that lower is correct and i checked it on the router ports. Further I have no user list made.

When i start download master the state is offline en when i click on connect i get the response:

No device found. Check the network connections and try again...

who can help me because the netwerk seems ok for me????

[Blaster]
