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 ...
I had a similar problem with a NV+.
The torrents which had completed download had been moved to the /media/BitTorrent directory, but the directory/folder structure remained in the hidden c/.bittorrent directory - that is it contained each directory/folder from the torrent, but every one was empty. This was the case for the two torrents which had completely downloaded.
The unit is only a few months old and no add-ons have been installed or changes to the basic config made; it is running the 4.1.6 firmware. Previously it has downloaded 2 or 3 torrents perfectly.
After I deleted the empty directories from c/.bittorrent and re-booted the NAS, the download manager worked fine.
To access the hidden c/.bittorrent directory at a Windoze command prompt enter
net use t: \\ip.address.of.nas\c /user:admin
This will map the directory to the t:\ drive. Ensure you have enabled file explorer to view hidden files.
[Edit]
The directories are re-created and it appears the way to fix the problem is as posted above, look inside the .torrent and .fastresume files (which are located in the .bittorrent directory) and identify the ones which relate to completed downloads and delete them.
