Can't install Utorrent on ReadyNAS 6.10.9
I had Utorrent installed on my ReadyNAS 626X but for some reason the folder settings all became read only. So I tried to uninstall the app (it failed) so I followed some SSH instructions to remove the folder and app.
Now I can't reinstall it as the install fails. How can I get it reinstalled?

I started with ReadyNAS as I liked the apps availability and didn't have to learn Linux to maintain the box.
Post 4 here might be helpful to you
It gives instructions on how to install the two patches without needing knowledge of the linux command line.
Though learning some linux basics can be helpful. Most NAS (all vendors) are linux servers, and often app installation needs some tweaks that have to be made manually.

Did you follow the instructions in post 37 here?:
I'm confused on how to follow the post #37 instructions. I'm a total Linux newbie really - I never really do anything outside the ReadyNAS GUI.

Unfortunately, you will either need to sort out how to do it, or you will need to run apps somewhere else.
You could use these steps:
- Download the two files in the post to your PC.
- install WinSCP on the PC, and make an SFTP connection to the NAS. Use root as the username and the NAS admin password. This will let you see the folder in the OS partition where the two changes need to be made.
- Upload the two files using the WinSCP GUI.
- Reboot the NAS.
Save the two files, as if you ever need to do a factory reset or an OS reinstall, then you likely will need to apply the changes again.
