This guides assume you already have fun_plug 0.5 installed and running.
This guides are divided into 3 main section namely download packages, install & configure.
Download
Transmission v2.82
Curl v7.18
Install
1. Run PuTTY and log into DNS-320
2. Change directory to “/mnt/HD/HD_a2” & copy both packages into “/ffp/pkg” folder.
3. Install Curl
funpkg -i /ffp/pkg/curl-7.18.1.tgz
3. Install Transmission
funpkg -i /ffp/pkg/transmission-2.82-1.tgz

1. Edit Transmission start script to change home directory setting
vi /ffp/start/transmission.sh

Save the file.
2. Configure by issuing the following command. Make sure you change USERNAME & PASSWORD to your preferred username & password.

hello,
I did everything that you wrote, but when I want to start Transmission I always receive the following message: /ffp/bin/transmission-daemon: can’t resolve symbol ‘__register_frame_info’
Any idea how can I fix it?
Thanks,
Hello Robert, I never encounter this. Just to check, are using the similar ffp & transmission version?
Ok, I made a clear install from the beginning, and now it’s OK.
Thanks! 😉
You’re welcome. I’m glad that you made it.
Hi, I have a question.
If I install this app to my D-Link320, should I seed my downloaded torrent data back?
On which interface will I manage my torrents? On web interface or via torrent client program on my win desktop?
Hi Johhny,
The original torrent client comes with DNS-320 is different than this one. If you want to seed completed torrent, you have to move the folder/files to Transmission download folder & import the torrent file.
You can manage through both windows program and web interface. Normally it will be at port 9091.
Thanks for your answer.
I have a thecus n299 now, and it is a very weak device.
It can download torrent data, but it cannot seed it back, and it cannot manage torrent files that are larges than 2GB.
If I install this Transmission BitTorrent Client to my another NAS, which is a D-link dns320, will I meet limitations something like I mentioned before?
No such problem exist with D-Link DNS-320 with Transmission installed. Previously I downloaded 8GB torrent without any problem.
