Transmission Setup on the ReadyNAS NV+/Duo:

[Tigrrr]

so this is one of the noobies questions probably ever posted how do i start a new torrent download? do i use the bittorrent client on NAS?

[martinb]

I just cannot connect to the transmission interface. Probably some very fundamental thing. Isn't there a transmission-setup-for-dummies? Why can it connect?

Maybe because I'm not clever enough. I cannot follow the terminalogy here. What is a "putty" for instance... I could handle the bittorrent client and the grease monkey set up, but here I'm lost it seems....

Used to gain cmdline access to your NAS or other devices.

What address are you going to? Have you checked the Frontview to verify the service is running? (Green dot)

Thanks for reply! Now it is finally running. It was probably due to that I was using the wrong format when I was saving settings.json in notepad++. But it is not downloading?! I'm forwarding port on my router (internal and external set to the same value, no DMZ activated) and the transmission interface says "port is closed". According to canyouseeme.org the port is open, but not according to the transmission interface. And there is no downloading at all. I just have a clean modem---> router --> ReadyNas NV+. Would be very thankful for help in this matter.

Is your NAS even connected to the internet? Did you set the Gateway in the network-preferences of the ReadyNas-Frontview to the IP of your router? Open up a SSH-connection and try pinging Google to verify.
