4.1.6 causing problems with Bittorrent Download Manager Duo
Since firmware upgrade I cannot access download manager page. I can get a work around by turning off, then back on the bittorrent service and this gives between a few seconds and about 2 mins access ...

There is a small bug.
When you add a download, 2 files plus place holder(s) for the actual download (possibly in its/their own directory) are added to the .bittorrent directory. Note that I'm referring to the hidden directory .bittorrent not the visible directory BitTorrent.
Use: net use <drive letter>: \\<IP address>\d admin /user:admin
to access .bittorrent.
When the download completes, it is moved to the BitTorrent directory. The remaining 2 files (?.fastresume and ?.torrent) are deleted. However, sometimes the delete is not performed. If this happens, you can no longer access the manager.
If you only had one torrent downloading then simply delete the contents of .bittorrent. If you have multiple downloads on the go, you will need to identify the correct 2 files. Simply look inside each .torrent file until you identify the correct one then delete it together with it's corresponding .fastresume file.
You will then need to stop and restart the BitTorrent service using Frontview.
You should now find all is well and you have access to the BitTorrent Download Manager as normal.
It works mate! Many thanks! Lets have a look how it will be on the time beeing.
