  • Most (private) trackers won't allow you to download from the default 6881 ports.

    - Change the torrent download port in your bittorrent download manager to something between 15000 and 60000.
    - Configure the port forwarding in your router (if it doesn't automatically) port X TCP to your NAS-ip.
    - Disable the bittorrent downloader service in your NAS and enable to make sure port forward has been applied.
    - Download torrentfile to your desktop/NAS to make sure all information is coming to your NAS.
    - Import from file, sit back and relax!

    There are two facets you should consider about:

    1.the allowed client list. You are required to use only a particular client(and also the minimal version) to access it
    2.bittorrent for readynas dose not support a passkey in the URL of tracker which are widely used in PT
  • Hi,

    I just got my ReadyNAS Ultra, and was really ready for running it as my little torrent-machine to gain some ratio.
    But as i have the same probles downloading private torrents, and wondering if it's IMPOSSIBLE to get some sort of upload going to private torrents?
    As i read through different posts it seems like some manage to do it. When checking my port-fowarding and setup everything seems OK. And normal public torrents have no problems uploading.

    Any tips - or should i just quick and try to sell my box?
