Torrent Downloader?

Hi guys.

 

I've just purchased a XR700, and have connected an USB HDD to the USB 3.0 plug. I want to run a torrent downloading tool on the router, for downloading to the USB (like Transmission on other Netgear routers and Downloadmaster on ASUS routers).

Where do I find this option in the XR700 (DumaOS)?

 

Also: How do I customize the content on the Dashboard? (I accidently removed the WiFi window, and can find anywhere to restore it)

 

Thanks in advance.

No such feature on the Netgear Pro Gaming routers I'm afraid.

Start with the "Pin" icon .... FMI DumaOS Optimal Settings Guide: Dashboard, Network Monitor and Device Manager

Thanks very much for the quick reply!

Do you know of any "workaround" to use the router to download torrents to USB?

I don't think it's possible unfortunately

No way to add-in or pack some popular BT builds (especially the "lighter" ones) as a DumaOS R-Apps @Netduma_Jack ? That woud be a real break-through ...

Transmission or rtorrent should not be difficult ...Usually I get some NFR samples or beer 8-)

 

Think about a wrapper for including popular repos like Entware https://pkg.entware.net/binaries/armv7/Packages.html ...
