bitTorrent clients not working

Had a readynas duo for 8 months or so and the default bitTorrent manager was working fine until about 10 days ago when I could no longer access the client screen to manager the downloads.

I bought and installed the PHP addon so that I could run TorrentFlux. But TorrentFlux says "Database error: No such file or directory", so I try to create a database and all I get is a blank page.

So I installed Transmission and that started off ok for about five minutes but now I get a blank page too!

What the hell is going on? Really pissing me off now.

    TorrentFlux hasn't been updated in a long time. Transmission would be the way to go.

    Have you changed the settings for Transmission to be appropriate for the Duo?: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=338583#p338583

    If you download your logs (Status > Logs > Download all logs) and extract the zip contents what does you httpd_errors.log look like?
  • Thanks for replying.

    Have changed the settings and will give it a go tonight. Had a quick peek at the logs but nothing obvious to me. Will paste in the results if still having errors.

    Thanks.
  • Also, I quite liked the default bittorrent manager but I uninstalled it, thinking there would be an easy way to put it back in, but can't find a download file (oops :oops: )

    I've had a search but can't find it?

    The BitTorrent add-on is no longer included in the firmware or supported. It's recommended to use Transmission.
