[HowTo] Install and configure Oleg's firmware

[boss]

I'm having two problems here

First of all, I noticed that when I do ipkg update it updates itself from this url:

http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/un...l500g/Packages

Is that the right URL to use ? I'm using 500gP v2 with latest oleg's fw.

on the upper url I find only this (old transmission version):

Package: transmission
Version: 0.82-3
Depends: openssl, libevent
Conflicts: torrent
Suggests: gnuplot, logrotate, thttpd
Section: net
Architecture: mipsel
Maintainer: NSLU2 Linux <nslu2-linux@yahoogroups.com>
MD5Sum: cb7ecd44bcdc0a8feaae2ec28d9a4859
Size: 405817
Filename: transmission_0.82-3_mipsel.ipk
Source: http://download.m0k.org/transmission/files/transmission-0.82.tar.gz
Description: lightweight BitTorrent client and daemon with WWW interface

I then downloaded the package myself from this url:

http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/op...5-1_mipsel.ipk

And installed it.

That's the point of problem #2 beginning:

Once I do everything described in this tutorial on point #9, I can't get transmission to work:

[admin@router disc0_1]$ transmission_watchdog
/opt/sbin/transmission_watchdog: /opt/sbin/transmission_watchdog: 304: transmissiond: not found

What am I doing wrong ? I only get

Jun 24 20:03:15 transmission_watchdog: Transmission daemon restarted!

in my log.

I found this thread where a guy had the same problem. He solved it by installing "Uclibc-op", but I rather won't try that, before consulting someone here who is smarter and more expirienced than I am. I don't like the idea of piling loads of various (unneeded?) packages on my router, and slow it down.
What is "Uclibc-op" ? Do I need it ?


please help...

Hi@all,

News for the hanging of transmission webinterface:
Do the following:
Install the shell "bash".

ipkg install bash

Edit transmission.cgi. First line to be replaced with:

#!/opt/bin/bash

done.

technical background: The integrated busybox shell and transmission.cgi do not work 100% ok. The exact problem is not pointed out until now.

With ver. is correct ? transmission_0.82-3_mipsel.ipk ?
or should I downgrade to transmission_0.6+r961-1_mipsel.ipk??

[wengi]

You did it the wrong way.
First update
Second upgrade

transmission is V1.22 atm.

Is your router setup with my howto?
What does

ipkg list_installed

result in?

Hi,

you are in an old repository (http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/unslung/wl500g/)
This means your complete installation is not maintained any more.

I recommend changing the complete system to the new repository.
Have a look at my howto.

I know this is much more work for you but it is wort it.

Hi

I have the following question: It is possible to download one torrent using my PC, and copy the files on my attached HDD on Wl-500gP and to seed this torrent using transmission.

I have some torrents of 60-70G, downloaded from a torrent tracker, on my PC, because WL-500gP is too weak to proper handdle those torrents, and to maintain my ratio I want to seed them (on the same tracker) from my Wl500gP +HDD which is running 24/24.

What is the max number of torrents I can seed with my WL-500gP + HDD?

Trank you,

[wengi]

Sorry, no idea about that.

wengi

[bogd_A]

Sorry, no idea about that.

wengi

Found it,
must keep in mind the way the files/folders are structured, so you must keep that structure for torrent files:
one dir:
one sub dir (same name as the parent dir) with the files
the torent file with *.torrent extension

Copy the parent dir in work directory of the hdd, then save the torrent file from the tracker, or other place from which you want to download, as if you would do a normal torrent download.
"update" in transmission web interface, and that's it. it starts the checkimg files process and then seeding.

The only issue is that the torrent stays in work dir and appear as active in transmission at least for the momment, I'll wait to see if it is seeding as it should

I reinstall system, every thing is working fine now, thanks to you wengi

[wengi]

@Syl: fine

@bogd_A: Did you download the torrents on the pc with transmission or was it another torrent client?

I used uTorrent for downloading the torrents.
Now the torrent is SEEDING, but still no upload from it ... don't know why, there are a lot of leechers on that torrent, and downloading from other uploaders, except me
