Bittorrent autolinker

I cannot get torrents to be added to the Download Manager via the script. I click on the .torrent (it's showing the NAS icon) and get the popup dialog saying it was added. I then click OK and check the Download Manager, but there is nothing in there. I've doubled checked that the ReadyNAS address is current by using the "Open ReadyNAS Manager" link in GreeseMonkey. I'm running FF3 and the latest ReadyNAS firmware on my NV+.

When I try the following in a browser, it the request goes through, but nothing shows up in my Download Manager:

h t t p : / / peroginas:8080/api/torrent-add?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mininova.org%2Fget%2F1577438&start=yes



Any suggestions?

I switched from trying mininova.org torrents to piratebay torrents. I have the same issue when clicking links in FF3. However, when I build the link myself and sent it:

h t t p : / / peroginas:8080/api/torrent-add?url=http%3A%2F%2Ftorrents.thepiratebay.org%2F4247756%2FBig_Brother_UK_S09_D014c_Big_Mouth_XviD_PDTV.4247756.TPB.torrent&start=yes

it actually worked. In the GreeseMonkey script, is the URI being formed using the Javascript encodeURIComponent() method? This is the way the ReadyNAS Download Manager does it.

I'd like to 2nd the request for the ability to hide the monitor. I often browse and search via my EEE PC and with it's small screen, pixels are at a premium. Hiding the monitor would be nice a feature.

I've also had problems with links from btjunkie (Pirate bay links work okay for me though). I get the Torrent added but it never shows. Even cutting and pasting the linking into the download manager doesn't work. Would it be possible to get the script to save the torrent file to a directory and then use the upload add from file option in the download manager? This always seems to work for me in the download manager.


Thanks, love the tool.. I switched to using Firefox because of this!

I managed to get it working in Firefox. Is there a way to get it working under Safari using GreaseKit? I am able to install the script but when reloading the page it does not ask me for the NAS address so it is not possible to use it :(.

Thnx in advance :).

This would be also great if it would be an addon program for Frontview and also would work under Windows Internet Explorer.

Thank you.

Nice work! I will test it tonight with some sweet legal downloads from various Linux sites...

That's way outside the scope of this particular project - this script just works with Greasemonkey, which is just for Firefox.

The script simply wouldn't work conceptually as an addon in Frontview, since it has to modify each webpage you visit, and that can only be done locally - from your own computer.

You can just right-click on the monkey head at the bottom of the screen, then select "ReadyNas Torrent Linker & Monitor". This should remove the checkmark from in front of it. That'll disable the script, and once you reload the page the monitor will be gone. You should just have to right-click and re enable it when you want it back. This might be an acceptable stopgap measure for you.

what about getting this to work with transmission?

This is only too perfect. Thanks!
