: Update BitTorrent client
: ray75 December 28, 2018, 02:39:14 PM

Hello,

I just upgraded the firmware of my LinkStation (LS410D0A2) and I noticed that the BitTorrent client is still at this version:
Product Version 3.2
Source Revision 30436
Build Date 2013-12-19 14:42:43 -0800

Maybe upgrading the version of this client can be a quick win.

Thanks

I am using Transmission.

Ok, did not see your reply.
First of all, thanks for your input.
I will try the installation process for the LS410D0A2.

Hello again oxygen8,
I managed to install transmission 2.92 from your tutorial.
However, 2 points:
- I had to download your version of transmission, but if I want the latest version on the official repo (currently 2.94), how would you do that? How did you compile the version you offer for your linkstation? I managed to ssh, I did not manage to install apt-get and other stuff as I can't even find the correct version of apt-get, ARM version of the LinkStation and the version of Debian installed... Probably, I will go full debian to remove this OS from my LinkStation...
- I use the embedded BitTorrent version installed on my Linkstation because I want to use SOCKS5 proxy and I haven't found it available on Transmission

If you have any insight on those subject, I would be pleased to read them.

Thank you,

Best

the original fimrware is very comfortable

oxygen8 is correct, the buffalo firmware does a lot for you like managing your samba configuration etc.

That said, if your comfortable running regular debian you will find it a lot easier to install and update software without breaking things.

If you want to give it a try, all the tools you need are here:

Thanks guys for your inputs.
@oxygen8: I will try to configure Socks5 via transmission.
Could you tell me how to update to the latest version if needed? I assume you built your own binary or did you get it from somewhere?
@1000001101000  I had bookmarked your github project before your replied as I saw it on a different thread.



Thanks again !

Dear Ray75,

Do you still have the Transmission 2.92 to share, and can it be installed on Linkstation LS-VL (its CPU is Marvell Kirkwood ).
