downloading torrent to nas at work. controll it at home?

anyone?

i have tried to clip/copi the url to the nas page in bittorent manager.

how do i download just the torrent file to the laptop?
because when i press download on the webpage utorrent on my laptop starts up.

i want to try opening the torrent file in my NAS

I do this all the time using the Transmission add-on, rather than the built-in BitTorrent client: viewtopic.php?f=47&t=24271

Basically, you will need to forward Transmission's listening port (in my case, TCP port 8181) to the internal IP address of my NAS (192.168.128.2) on your router:



To access the Transmission client remotely, just enter the remote IP (or DynDNS name) and port as shown below:

http://68.7x.xxx.xxx:8181/

ohh, this is not easy on a newbie..:/
you do not know of a solution of making the onbord client to work? please :)

Regardless of whether you use the built-in client or Transmission client (or any other client, for that matter) the steps are the same - you will need to forward the listening port of the bittorrent client. My recommendation is to use the Transmission client, as it is regularly updated and offers more features and functionality than the official BT client.

Once you have configured port-forwarding correctly, the process is simple.

1. Right-click the desired .torrent file and select "Copy link location" (or "Copy shortcut" in Internet Explorer):



2. Then paste the link into the client and click "Upload":



3. Wait for the torrent to complete! :)

Easy as 1, 2, 3!

okey i try.
this Transmission client.. do i install it on my laptop or on my nas??

NAS. Login to Frontview and then follow these instructions:

After installing Transmission and forwarding the correct port on your router (8181), then you will need to enter the IP and port number in the address bar:

http://external.ip.of.nas:portnumber

So, if your external WAN ip was 12.34.56.78, you would type

http://12.34.56.78:8181

You will be prompted for the Transmission username & password:

Web interface on port 8181 default user is : admin default password is : password1 Bittorrent port is : 51413 Default Download path /c/media/BitTorrent/ PeerBlocklist updated each day Settings can be changed in Frontview UI and in Transmission WebInterface and in /addons-config/Transmission/transmission-daemon/settings.json scheduler for bandwidth is removed and now handled by settings.json Transmission can monitor a directory

That's expected behaviour. If you try to access the NAS over http (port 80) or https (port 443) you will get the "Shares" window.

As noted above, in order to access Transmission, you need to specify the port:

http://ip.address:8181/ - Transmission Interface - requires add-on to be installed and appropriate ports forwarded on your router

If you want access to Frontview:

https://ip.address/admin - Frontview Admin Interface

If you want access to your shares over HTTP

http://ip.address/ - Shares
