is it possible to install ctorrent to flash or must it be installed to USB memory?

[oleo]

ctorrent, libstdc++, openssl ocupies

172K    ctorrent-1.3.4-ipk/
3,6M    openssl-0.9.7d-ipk/
216K    libuclibc++-0.1.12-ipk/
3,9M    total

[britnet]

what oleo means is: its to big for flash

Lower than 20KB/sec download performance with Enhanced-Ctorrent and the wl500g?

Here some practical tips: (which help a lot!)

-C cache_size (default 16MB, make it 0MB otherwise it
chokes your poor USB 1.1 bus every
few seconds!!!)

-M max_peers (the lower the number of peers the more
memory is saved, but it will lower
performance. It's not possible to go
lower than 20. Try to find the best
number by increasing the number bit by
bit. e.g. start with 20 than 30, 40 etc.)

-m min_peers (Make this 1 if you use -M switch. Has no
effect on the download rate.)

-D rate (Download rate. Is more dependent
of the other parameters used here.
Thus has little effect)

-U rate (Upload rate. increasing it doesn't
consume memory. Don't go to the max
because it will decrease the download
rate. let's say 70% of you max up)

-z slice_size I have no experience with this
parameter. I guess it will have little
effect.

The other parameters have no effect on download speed.

First time users can use following reserved example: (assuming port 2106 is opened in the firewall)

enhanced-ctorrent -e 0 -E 1.5 -p 2106 -C 0 -M 30 -m 1 -D 80 -U 30 xxxxxxxxxx.torrent

If the speed is still low start with increasing the value of the -M switchs in steps of 10.


I hope this helps....

But install enhanced-ctorrent it is more developed - e.g. does not have 2 GB file limit. Very simple:

ipkg install enhanced-ctorrent

how can i install enhanced-ctorrent on asus wl-500gP?
i have instal ctorrent and it is ok, but download torrent is 0kbps
when i install enhanced-ctorrent i can not activate enhanced-ctorrent
Please help me, i have read http://www.macsat.com/macsat/content/view/34/30/ but it is not work
As usual, if you are installing to /opt, you need to run my optlibs.sh script:
optlibs.sh - i don't undretand what can i do? this script is where?

i followed this:
http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=5909
instructions and used: enhanced-ctorrent instead of ctorrent.

when i start ctorrent i use this commandline:

enhanced-ctorrent -C 0 -M 25 -U 15 torrentfile.torrent

-C 0 disables the harddrivecache
-M 20 maximum of 20 peers
-U 25 Upload-limit: 25kb/s
-f if i want to seed the downloaded torrent

http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=...light=ctorrent

maybe you have to choose another port if your provider is blocking the torrent-ports:
-p 50035 -> use a port above 50000 (use for each torrent another port)

this works fine for me, but you have to choose a torrent with enough seeders to make it rock. sometimes you'll have to wait a little time.

have a look on:
http://www.rahul.net/dholmes/ctorrent/
to understand the statusline-output

for multiple sessions (seeding/leeching) i use screen.
it works fine, but i have to reboot from time to time, because the router does not respond any more

greetings

karlunge: thanks its work, with reboot you have true i must reboot too. Why?I have swap on and processes are good when ctorrent finish control of torrent files.
What is wrong?

Well it looks like the enhanced ctorrent binary fixed the size_t problem by using uint64 integer type-cool. Is it possible to simply ftp the enhanced ctorrent binary to the 700 running an othewise stock 1046 asus firmware?

As I read the sources it appears that the original ctorrent and enhanced ctorrent are command line compatible except for 1 command line parameter which was -B rate which was changed to -D/E rate. So unless the asus firmware tries to use this command line switch shouldnt the enhanced ctorrent plug and play with download master???

Here hoping.

Maybe I will try tonight if I can extract the binary from the custom firmware, and figure out how to ftp/copy the binary to the router after making a backup of the original......

Have anybody any idea about a web interface for the enhanced-ctorrent ?

The v2.3 works great with KC's firmware on my box, but unfortunately only from 'screen'.

I almost found a nice and easy interface on the folowing page : http://sctcs.seaky.hu/ but it isn't working for me... maybe i missed something


Please help!

Thanks for the fast reply Sollie. I read the list but I don't understood too much... maybe my linux experience is very poor and I don't speak well German.

so, is there any step-by-step instruction for making this installation ?

Thanks, Kopaxi
