How do I install transission or other bittorrent client?

Hi.
I bought my first NAS today. It's a Netgear Ready Duo 1 TB and now I have a couple of questions and I hope that someone could be so nice to help me out a little bit.

#1. How do I install transmission? b.t.w. I'm a noob so please explain in a way that I can understand :D
#2. How do I get external access to my new NAS from the web. I want to access it from work.

I use Ubuntu if that matters.

    To give specific help here we'd need to know if you have a Duo V1 or a Duo V2. This guide will help you to do that. http://www.rnasguide.com/2012/01/09/how ... -or-nv-v2/
    You cannot trust the label BTW.

    ReadyNAS remote is one way. https://remote.readynas.com/download.html

    There are alternatives, but it is probably the one you should try first.
  • as you're new to the nas, can i make one suggestion for you so you don't make the same mistake i did, get another 1tb drive to put into the second slot so if one drive fails, your data is still backed up and safe on the other drive. I thought i'd backed up all my important data elsewhere, turns out i'm still missing thousands of irreplaceable photos, once my lass finds out i'm dead...
