How to install NZBGET?
Hi, I have just received my ReadyNas Duo and want to install NZBGET so it can handle all my downloads. Is there a step by step guide I can follow on how to install?
I've been reading these thread updates with a mixture of funny and frustrating in equal measure.
I love the readynas duo. It's fantastic for streaming my music and videos and for keeping my pictures safe and instantly backed up on another hard drive.
But the extras should just work - they shouldn't need linux skills, and debates about which notepad, and pages and page of conf files.
There should be a file you add, a gui you run, some parameters to put in your server info and you should be away.
Netgear have done so well with this, but it fails to deliver everything it says on the tin.
I can't access mine remotely for streaming.
I can't access it remotely and securely for FTP.
I can't work out how to do file level permissions so I can have my readynas acting as my families backup drive - and let them stream movies/music.
It won't act as a mail server.
It won't act as a download server.
In short, I'm going to end up building a server that can do those things - which is a shame, because the readynas is nearly there. And probably a few months of netgear's programmers finishing the job off and it'd do everything I'd want - and probably most people want.
