@davo using the android bittorrent remote app and/or the https://remote.bittorrent.com/">website, or is it some other way?

cheers

the remote access function in the full bittorrent where you log in to an account in the client and on the android app/website isn't a function available in the linkstation version. 

 

I'd love to know davos work around for getting that function.

come on davo. Some people would like to know exactly how you manage to add torrents remotely. Since it's not a standard function

Ah right sorry, you need to forward an external port of your choosing to internal port 9090 directed at the local IP of the Nas (do this on the NAT table of your router.

Then to access the client remotely open your browser and type:

 

http://WANIP:ExternalPort/gui/ or http://DynDNSHostname:ExternalPort/gui/

 

you will then be prompted for the username/password of the bit torrent client and you can add the torrents.

Ahh right so it woild kinda work but be usless for magnet links which most torrent sites use these days.. cheers for the clarification i'll stick to having a dedicated computer then..

Shonk - to clarify, we updated the bittorrent default settings in Firmware 1.64- my tests showed that the speed in the original settings weren't hitting the bandwidth of what bittorrent should be able to do. The new settings bring in more and consistent speed to the downloads.

 Davo could you please elaborate more, on how do you configure the torrent client to use magnets links remotely?
