How on earth do I install transmission on it and add files to download?

The Transmission App is available from the App section from the RN102 admin interface.
If you have not been to this page, it will take a few minutes to install the tools needed to get access to the available Apps.

I have the same issue with my PS3, but I found that it was the limitation of the PS3 supported media.

If you keep it in XRAID (or RAID1), you can add the new drive (same size or larger) and it will mirror over to the new disk.

so can anyone tell me where i can find transmission ? it doesnt show up in the genie app thing, but i have read that people have it working on the 104, which is identical to the 102 apart from having 4 bays instead of 2? so how do i find transmission for the 102 and how do i install it?

sorry for being such a newb :/

It not showing up in the app store. It can be manually installed though (https://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopi ... 2&p=390362). Or you could wait a bit.

Please refer to viewtopic.php?f=36&t=70679 and viewtopic.php?f=36&t=70688#p392513.

You have to turn on ReadyDLNA from System > Settings > Services.

Yes, now you're in unprotected mode, so getting another one will make it redundant (protected).


Thanks

It's NOT in the app store for RN1xx, so don't go crazy if you've set up genie and it doesn't show up.

As posted above, it can be manually installed.

transmission is only available for 312/314/316 x86-based box at this time. The arm-based version will be posted soon.

It might be best to wait for the posting. Uninstalling, updating later on might be easier, esp. if you aren't an SSH type.

thanks for all the help guys, esp stephenb. managed to install some apps etc via ssh, however when i go to the apps page for installed apps it just hangs there forever, tried rebooting with no luck. im not having much luck as a new user and new customer to readynas.
