Bittorrent client plugin for vix

[sagatr]

Hi guys, Is there a bit torrent client plugin for vix image. I am using the a solo2 with the latest vix image.

I know there is a enigma2 client called transmission but not sure if it will work for vix.

Any ideas ?

There is one but i'm not sure of the name as i have never used it my self.

I know transmission works, as several users reported that.
But don't ask me how to configure it, as I have no clue.

Ok guys managed to get transmission working. Its an excellent little bit torrent client with a web based interface.

How to install:

1. download the plugin. I download version 2.76-r13884
2. Put the ipk file in the /tmp folder.
3. Go the settings menu -> vix -> install external plugin
4. Once the plugin is installed you can edit the config file /hdd/transmission/config/settings.json to change the download and upload speed:

"speed-limit-up": 5,
"speed-limit-up-enabled": true,

5. Start Transmission to run in the background. Go to Plugins screen: Transmission>start transmission-daemon.

Once the service is running it will give you an web ip address like : http://192.168.7.97:9091. This ip does not work. The correct ip address should be http://yoursolo2ipaddress:9091.
Once you type the correct ip address in your browser. You will be presented with logon screen:

User: root
Password: dreambox

Then you will see the Transmission client running on your web browser. It has a familiar interface like uTorrent etc.

The downloaded torrent file ends up in /hdd/transmission/download/

You can even access the client from an external ip address if you port forward 9091 in your router.

Now i have a very efficient way to download those huge bittorrent files without leaving my PC on whole night. :)

just to add to this, transmission is already available via the image feeds so you can skip points 1 through 3. i'll create a quick tutorial in a little while.

I have just set this up myself and tested it works a treat!!!! Hardest part is trying to find and change the stated parts in the instructions lol its that easy to setup.

[RiGGs]

Sagatr ... big thanks for the guide :thumbsup:

After finding this thread, I've just set this up via VIX feeds which was easy and it works really well with nice user interface within your web browser.
I'm sure it will become one of the top plugins.

It looks like it could have been updated in the feed, because you can now change the download and upload speed (along with lots of other options) within the actual web browser client.

Is there anyway of doing this through iphone safari? I'm alway on my phone just would be more effiecent got me to do it that way

[Tonto McTavish]

Cant find Transmission in the `Install Plugins` menu anymore, I believe it used to be in 'extensions' category, ive scanned the other categories (settings, systemplugins etc...) but has it moved?

It was there 8 years ago. Are you sure you've searched properly?
