transmission the latest the greatest

[luke1984]

Whenever I am forced to restart the router (apply changes in settings), torrent check takes almost an hour (over 20GB downloading) Am I doing something wrong? Should it not save the download state in /tmp/hardisk/transmission/download/resume or this directory is for smoething else?

Is it any way to skip this torrent check or is it necessary?

The cpu in the router is able to process something like 3-4 MB/s
that's like 83 minutes or so.
It's due to the slow cpu and the lack of enough RAM memory these things take long.

The checking is because of 2 things usually:
1. to see what "blocks" are downloaded yet
2. to be sure all the downloaded "blocks" are downloaded correctly

to stop it from checking it all the time you should pause it before restarting
btw, 20GB is an awful lot for routers like these

I had same problem in 1.83 version. So I downgrade back to stable v1.76 and checking is much faster, same as downloading ;-)

[luke1984]

you are another person who advices me to downgrade. i thing wengi should put it in his tutorial. not to do ipkg upgrade whenever it is possible. it seems in this case newer isn't better.

btw which firmware are you using now? because i have many problem with my router crashing. i have even disconnected the harddisk now to check if it is the reason.

wpte -> so you think that slow samba transfer rate (I have 2mb/s both over WIFI and cable) within the local network is also limited by router processor?

[luke1984]

in my case apart from what you say here, also ssh is not working and normal web interface 192.168.1.1 as well. it helped a little to upgrade router firmware to newest on (jan 24) and i have to try as well to downgrade transsmision to 1.76.

still my router crashes for example when i try to install a game (mounted in deamon tools) which iso is on my router-harddisk using samba share. i don't know is it overloaded or what? the transfer rate is really slow anyway (2mb/s) but i've read that is normal. why does it crash then?

I do not only think it is
When you benchmark the harddrive on the router it is capable of reaching ~40MB/s BUT programs like samba or transmission do other things than just write/read to/from the harddrive...
samba is quite a heavy protocol you know...
and transmission requires hashing (generating checksums) which is also a cpu intensive job

With my new RT-N16 which has a way faster cpu + more RAM things go a lot faster, up to around 8MB/s

[wengi]

... theres a small 1.80 at the bottom. :-)
Now i have to figure out how to downgrade...

You should upgrade before downgrading!!!
Newest version is 1.83!

do an "ipkg update && ipkg upgrade"

wow that's an improvement. but the project http://code.google.com/p/wl500g/ doesn't include oleg's firmware for RT-N16 or is it as well aviable? maybe i can change my wl500gp2 for yours. i think I can still send it back to the shop.

It is available, but it's still alpha.
Here and there are still some problems, and unsupported things.

here is the list of compiled firmware binaries I made from the branch:

So that not everyone need to compile it themselves
