bittorent client can be improved IMHO

[kotlec]

On the good side. Torrent client is working very stable and fast for me. I give 10 point for that.

 

Now not so good.

 

I like and use bt very much. But one that is installed on my Ls-VL is pretty lame. Why can't we have option to install full version of it? I see many options other than BT that I dont need at all though. Like backup for example.

 

With more downloads it is very hard to keep everything organized ,when there are no possibility to make folders inside bt folder. If I move files outside BT folder -seeding is interrupted and I get ban from my provider very soon. To have multiple copies of multiple files instead is also not a nice option for me.  I already have problems finding what I need among hundreds of files.

 

Also not having possibility to select what files to download when starting torrent is also very bad. 

 

My PC version of same client has all those options and makes client much more valuable.  

 

One more problem - it is not possible to use BT if accessed from iPad.  All fields are messed up and nothing works as intended.

 

Anybody have solutions for those problems ?

I can select torrent files on my cloudstor (also labeled linkstation on the case). 

 

Right click on a unfinished downloading file in a torrent, and there is a popup to set priority: high, normal, low, skip

 

It doesn't seem to be working in firefox.  But it works in Chrome and IE.

Today noticed that not all torents are displayed in the client window.  It counts like 96 under all tab (or any other), but window itself is showing only 50 or so. 

 

EDIT: 

Ok - this seems to be controlable via control panel.  My bad.

I figured out that the best way to access WebUI uTorrent from Safari browser on iPad is by using it in vertical/potrait mode. Don't forget to turn off the auto-rotation as otherwise it might mess up the screen.

 

Alternatively, if your iPad is jailbroken, you can get some other apps from Cydia store such as uTorrent and uRemote. Both apps works perfectly on iPad, though the screen size is made for iPhone, in small screen size.

 

Good luck.

Problem with torrent files (all contents lost!) - HD - 2.0TB LS-CH2.0TL

 

HI,

If I am removing torrent files from the list in the bittorrent download manager gui it is also removing the actual downloaded content from the HD itself and cannot be find anywhere as the downloaded file is deleted with the torrent file together.

Could somebody have an explonation why or how to remove torrent files from the list and keep the downloaded item?

Thanks!

Maybe there is there a firmware upgrade for your NAS that will also update the bittorrent?

 

On cloudstor bittorrent I am able to delete torrent and keep 'data'.  When I click X there is a popup with a checkbox to also delete data.  I'm using google chrome browser.

 

?

Aha, I did not see this, I might not remember well, or mistakenly I have checked it in, but that has a smaller possibility, I will check this again.Maybe my firmware for the hd LInkstation Live is different. I have the latest firmware for sure I have checked that after buying it. The torrent client is really slow much slower then on my iMac using transmission. So Basically it is useless for me at this shape, shame..:(

 

Tnx

If you right click torrent itself , you wil lhave oportunity to choose delete torent file or all information completely. 

 

My download speed is limited by DSL only  and is up to 500kB/s.

@dach - how did you find the bittorrent client information? I have the LS-VL, but dont see any thing in the UI that provides that info.

[dach]

On the lower-left there is an "About" link

[tickled]

Hmm.... I dont have any such link... guess our versions are different.

I am using Linkstation Live 2 TB with 1.56, but Bittorrent is not very stable: after a few days or weeks, the speed slow down. To solve the problem, I've to backup the tracker files, disable, initialize, enable Bittorrent, re-load the trackers, and the speed goes back to normal. But the files have to rechecked, and rechecking is slow if they are large. Originally, I thought the slow speed was caused by tweaking the Bittorrent configs, but even after I didn't do that, the speed went down anyway after a week or so. For copying downloaded files, I just use Windows explorer in Win 7 to access the torrents directory in the NAS drive and copy them to my PC hard disk, where I can burn them to disks.
