Title: Wanted: Opinions on BitTorrent implemention in LinkStation 441e
Post by: kenstir on July 10, 2016, 01:54:34 PM
I have a LinkStation LS-WXL, the the BitTorrent implementation is great.  It looks just like uTorrent, and it supports all the features I need, like partial seeding and the ability to disable DHT/PEX/LPD.

My question: is the BitTorrent implemention in LinkStation 441e nearly as good?  The user manual says, "the download manager is similar to 'µTorrent'", but I don't find that very helpful in making my decision.

I think I want to replace my NAS soon, because the old one is slow, I am running out of space, and one of the drives is failing.  Yes I am rationalizing here, but I don't want to replace the LS-WXL with a box that has poorer BitTorrent support.

Thanks!

The LS441 uses the BitTorrent branded client.

Texturtle, thank you!  Has the BitTorrent branded client been updated or is it the same version running on the LS-WXL firmware 1.71?  The BitTorrent branded client on the LS-WXL work great in IE 11, but not great in Chrome (Version 51.0.2704.103 m (64-bit)).

I'm not sure what version runs on the LS-WXL. The LS-441 runs version 3.2.

How do I tell what version my LS-WXL is running?  I have looked over the entire UI, including all the preference pages, and I don't see any version number.

Thanks again,
Ken

I don't have one handy, but there may be a "help" or "about" button that could get you the version number.
