hi. :) when reading on NAS homepages i came to this:"Best of all, queuing of the torrents can be done over the web from a slower wireless laptop, but the actual downloading is done on the ReadyNAS which is usually resides on a faster wired connection to Internet."My Nas i plugged in at router at work.there i have a high speed nettwork.and i want to start,stop and remove downloads from my laptop at home.can someone help me with this and explain in a simply way :) i have enabled remote client on the nasand installed remote client on my windows laptop.sorry if my english is crap, am from norway :)

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=24271Basically, 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 :)am trying to download a torrent file , awoiding the utorrent program to open, but cant figure it out.my idea is to try opening the file in manager on nas.the only thing o havent tryied.

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??

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

Yes. Reboot the NAS to enable fast USB writes.

Not sure why it's so slow. As noted above, you should see anywhere from 45 GB per hour transfer speeds and up when backing up to USB. What's the make & model of the USB drive?

No... it doesn't work that way. The drive will be added to the existing array.

If you're computer is wired to the network (as opposed to wireless) you could hook up the USB drive to the computer and then drag & drop the files. What kind of network connection do you have (wired 10/100/gigabit, wireless A/B/G/N)?
