TomatoUSB

Hi guys, I just recently bought a NAS… a real one connected via ethernet to the router and not a hard drive connected via usb. I wanted to know how I could change the built in transmission download directory to the new NAS, which shows up as drive Z: on my windows 7 computer. I am runnning the latest shibby AIO build on a RT-N16 btw. Any help would be great.

i had the same setup a few months back and worked very well even on wireless link
do the same like in the pictures below:

A thought - some NAS boxes have their own torrent clients included, or modded firmware can be used to add a torrent client.

hey maurerr where you have 10.1.1.60…would i subsitute that with the ip of my NAS..192.168.1.11? and then keep everything else the same…and it should work?

CTXSi - I am somehwat familiar about the funplug available for my nas which allows me to download transmission onto the nas but I figured I already have it on the router…but would it be any more beneficial to run it off the nas since it has a 800mhz cpu compared to the 480mhz on my asus RT-N16?

yes, of course change my 10.1.1.60 to your 192.168.1.11.
and yes - it would be better to run the torrent client on the NAS.
My Seagate Dockstar NAS - transmission client can download with 6MB/s compared to only 2MB/s max on RT-N16.

I created this account just to thank you! Messing around with the router for almost half an hour before I found your post. Thanks!
