Hello denaus50,

Are you trying to get movies downloaded and stored to the NAS from via torrent client? ReadyNAS has some torrent client apps such Qbittorrent and Utorrent that you can use to download movies.

Welcome to the community!

Hi JennC

Thank you so much for responding.

Yes, that is what I'm wanting to do. If I use Utorrent, will that dowload the file (.mkv etc) as is so I can then stream direct to my TV. Basically I need to have a "how to" for downloading and for streaming.

I am used to downloading to my pc and then transferring onto portable HD and playing through my AC Ryan media player connected to my smart tv.

Thanks again!

Is this one of their android players? Perhaps let us know the model.

  Hi StephenB
  As I have a smart TV with DLNA, I am hoping to use the 10400 to stream instead of using the AC Ryan (which isn't android)
  Thanks

    There are two DLNA options. ReadyDLNA is built in, so you can just enable it on a media share and see how it works with the TV.
    
    Plex is also available, you download it from plex.tv and install it on NAS through the settings->manual install control.
