Transmission - Can I use it to upload/seed?

I believe what you are looking for is in the installed add ons underneath services in frontview.

Go to Transmission add-on and click create torrent.
make sure you use the proper tracker url.

This should work it works for me.

Having problems with demoniod.

Thanks - will give it a try later!!!!

(Substitute demoniod values for whatever tracker you are using not trying to insult you just trying to be thorough)

I have port forwarding set up to nas box running transmission - port 51413 both TCP and UDP.

I am using a NV+ Unit.

I stopped the transmission addon.

I edited the /c/addons-config/transmission/transmission-daemon/settings.json this is the file it says in the installed add ons to edit. (either use notepad++, do not use notepad it will screw up the settings or shh into the box and use nano or vi to edit)

I found "watch-dir": "/c/media/BitTorrent/sources/" and changed "watch-dir-enabled": 1

Restarted Transmissions

I went to demoniod followed there instructions including putting there text file in the directory I wanted to seed.

I used the https://"my nas ip address/ctransmission/ to create the torrent on my NAS Box
Torrent Name: nemsgifs
Directory or File: /c/media/BitTorrent/gif/
Tracker URL: http://inferno.demonoid.com:3400/announce
Private Torrent: No
Then I clicked - Create Torrent

Finished uploading .torrent file created by transmission to demoniod.

Opened up http://"my nas ip addrerss":8181/transmission/web/ and torrent was there but was listed in the downloading tab. I got the message torrent not there in the tracker announce so I paused it for 3 minutes as instructed by demoniod. Resumed and I was listed in the tracker window of transmission.

To check I went to another box ran bitTorent and downloaded the .torrent file from demoniod and became a leacher.

I'm trying to use Transmission to upload a torrent but when I fill out the form on the create page and hit submit then it downloads a PHP file to my computer. I assume that what this should be doing is creating a .torrent file for me but instead all I get is a downloaded PHP file.

Is there something else that I need to install on my ReadyNas in order to make this work? Thanks.

If you get a php file, then that file was probably intended to run on your nas. Do you have one of the php add-ons, like this one, installed?
