Did you happen to try the step by step instructions provided five (6 including this one) posts ago? If so, and it did NOT work, please provide some additional details as to where things went wrong. . .

In case anyone else runs in to this same issue, I was able to answer my own question (since no one else chimed in). Here is how I did it:
- Upload qbittorrentr6_3.3.0_amd64.deb to a directory on the NAS of your choosing (I used /root)
- (Credit to h3nk3t for this idea from and earlier post) apt-get purge qbittorrent-nox (removes remnants of version 1.03)
- apt-get install qbittorrent-nox (updates qbittorrent-nox to version 2.9.x)
- dpkg -i qbittorrentr6_3.3.0_amd64.deb apt-get install -f <--- I'm not a Linux Guru, so I'm not sure that last part was required
- Profit !!!

So, are you telling me you are stuck at STEP 1 ?
If so, have you enabled ROOT access on the ReadyNAS in question?
What operating system are you using to SSH into your ReadyNAS?
i dont know SSH, iv heard about it. never done it... hence why id like some instructions.
I asked you three (3) questions above. You answered zero (0). Try again. . .
Q1 - yes... im telling you im stuck on step 1... hence why iv asked for instructions to get to this stage several times now... i just want a quick... you enable this, you reset your nas and boot into this mode... you then install this program and bam.. you are now at step 1... is it that hard?????
Q2 - NO but i can, iv seen that floating around in the setting before
Q3 - as stated before i have not used SSH... so are you refering to the OS as in windows/mac etc? or the specific software im using to SSH? BTW its windows 7 64bit.
