I use Transmission. It's nice and light and works. There's a Windows port here. Dunno what your NAS runs but I use the daemonised version (it has a web frontend) on my little media box. , , , , , , , , , , `' (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) (o,o) \ \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) \|)__) ''`>-,--”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---”-”---- ,'.*''`

I use Deluge on my dedicated server. Feed it a .torrent or magnet link and off it goes. There's even a chrome addon that let's you right click torrent or magnet links and it'll automatically send it to the Deluge server. How do you mean you use it to download torrent files? I only ever used utorrent to download the actual content. ┌─────┐ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ │ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ └─┘

Will have a look at that, ta. I have a Zyxel NSA310, I'll have a look if Transmission can be installed on it. Me

I installed Deluge on my laptop and it worked fine, maybe going faster than the NAS's torrent built in client. Sometimes that thing goes slow. But it only wanted to store the torrent in the usual place even if I told it to copy it to another folder. Usually I start the torrent downloading with uTorrent, wait til it's got the .torrent which it copies to a folder on the NAS. The NAS picks it up and I stop the download on the PC. Me

Sounds like you need a client on the NAS with the WebUI that you just paste magnet links to, no need to have any torrent software on your PC. ┌─────┐ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ │ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ └─┘

That does sound ideal. Looks like Transmission could work on it. Not sure how easy to get it working. I'll look into it I think. Me

Have you ever managed to get the client/server method working with Deluge? I have the daemon running on my Pi, and wanted to run the client on our laptops. Basically make it function as if it were u torrent running locally, but all the downloading happening on the Pi. I got it working fine with the Web interface, but I find it a bit clunky compared to running a native app (and also lacks the file association integration stuff) ▪ ┌────┐ ┌────┐ │ │ │ │ ▪ │ └────┘ │ │ ──┐ ┌── │ ▪ ┌──────┤ ▪ ▪ │ ┌┘ │ │ ▪ ┌─┤ └──┐ │ │ ┌──┘ │ │ │ ││ ││ │ ┌─┐ │ │ └─┼┤ └┴─┴───┘ │ │ │ ─┘│ │ │ │ ┌──────┐ └┬──────────┘ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └───┘ └───┘ If Feds call you and say something bad on me, it may prove what I said are truth, they are afraid of it.

I haven't even looked at that but I might. I just purely use the web interface to admin the server, seems to work well enough for me. ┌─────┐ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ │ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ └─┘

If I could make Chrome open the webinterface and pass the magnet link when I click on a download then it'd be all right.

I use qbittorrent, which is pretty much μTorrent without the annoyances, but with some of the nice visual touches missing as well. Kenny

Looks like that works the same way as the deluge client, but I'll give it a whirl.

I suppose since I don't have a torrent client on my PC that clicking a magnet link doesn't actually do anything for me, so right clicking one and using the addon option it sends it to my server running deluge and starts it downloading. ┌─────┐ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ │ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ └─┘

Same here. uTorrent 1.8.2, mainly because it's small, fast and certified by all the private trackers I use. ---

I might use that for now as it will do everything I need it to. Then see if I can install another client on my NAS that can accept magnets. Me

I was going to install that on my QNAP NAS until I realised that QNAP have their own Download Station. I have no idea whether it's any good but there's one way to find out. I just need to find something worth downloading :/ bastard by name bastard by nature

It's funny (not really) how differently we go about things. I only, ONLY ever use a torrent if I can't find it on News Groups. Do you guys not get these nice things (attached)? Turns out I just got this today. I can count on my hands and feet the amount of times I use a torrent in a years time, yet I get this bullshit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ If you don't like donut, then leave it alone.
