Qbittorrent update
The qbittorent included in the readynas distribution is quite old (2.9.8-1) and buggy. It appears there are newer compatible ubuntu built distributions available. For example, see here: http://www.tec...
Can this update be installed from the GUI, or is it exclusively command line only? I tried it from the GUI and got this error message:
ReadyNAS-Pro-2

Thanks in advance!

Cannot install application D:\Downloads\qbittorrentr6_3.3.0_amd64.deb
Thanks in advance!
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 !!!
Hello, Iv been looking for a solution to this for a while, i have a background in IT but never gone into coding etc. can someone point me in the right direction to updating qbittorrent on my nas? i see these instructions here but dont know how to get to this stage. have very basic command promt skills so once rolling i should be ok.
Hi chrispeachey,
The latest Qbittorrent add-on version for OS 6 is 1.0.3. Do you have the same version installed in your machine? Are you having problems too?
Kind regards,

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.
Okay, let's take it from the top - When you say you "have a background in IT", based on what I've read so far, it is obvious that you have never done any Linux/UNIX System Administration. You are aware that your ReadyNAS is running a customized version of Debian Linux right?
RE - Q1: You said ". . .is it that hard?????" Thinking back about the very first time I did any Linux/UNIX System Administration - YES it was very hard indeed :smileyfrustrated:
RE - Q2: You must enable SSH (root) Access as seen in the image below
RE - Q3: Since you are not using an operating system with a native SSH client, you must first install one. One such software package is called "PuTTY: a free SSH and Telnet client". Since you appear to have reservations about utilizing a search engine to find any information on your own, I'll provide you with the URL where this software can be found - http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
As it has become painfully obvious that I am the only one monitoring this thread who is going to help you - you might as well install "FileZilla" as well, and that can be found here - https://filezilla-project.org/ . Be sure to install the CLIENT not the SERVER package. . .
That should keep you busy for a while. I have to sign off for now. It's 3 AM here, and I have to get a few hours of sleep before work later today. . .
thank you for the reply. yes background in IT was building systems and problem solving with windows systems. never touch linux or any of that. and i just wanted a straight forward set of instructions for my applications instead of spending 3hrs reading and **bleep**ing things up. so thank you again. will hopefully have a chance to look at this tonight.
