TomatoUSB

I'm trying to get Sabnzbd to work on the rt-n16 as sometimes I want it to download when I'm not at home or when I'm asleep. I'm not too worried about speed though cause the provider I have only gives me 700kb/s max anyways.

Anyways I've tried using the guide provided at the end of this post but I got a bunch of libs missing or it not installing right. When installing I used WinSCP to do the telnet. If its at all possible can anyone write up a new guide on how to get it working? I'd be much appreciated as I've tried following other guides as well but they were rather out dated. Thanks

Since you have the RT-N16, I would recommend going with Shibby's firmware version which includes the Transmission built into the firmware.

Then of course, I just re-read your link and you want SABNZBD….my recommendation still stands, go with Shibby's mod. Follow this tutorial to get Optware setup and install Sabnzb after wards.

Here's a post I wrote up some time ago. This uses optware, and is the most stable way of running SABnzbd so far that I've found.

I'm sorry i forgot to mention I already have Shibby and Optware installed I just have issues getting the Sabnzbd working properly. But I'll give those links a go and tell you how it turns out. Thanks.

Oh actually(sorry for the double post) I found your thread and was one of the few I tried. I got the python to "install". However when it came to actually running sabnzbd it said it couldn't find the python folder or libs I forget which. Though at the same time I couldn't find the same exact sabnzbd you had either so I installed the most recent one by manually downloading and throwing it in the router by using WinSCP drag and drop. Then did ipkg install <the file path>.

Seems like I remember the latest version, 0.74 I think, doesn't seem to run nice on the routers. I think I'm running 0.73

I guess i'll scour the internet for a .73 version and try and get that installed.

@ lancethepants I've just noticed while trying to get .73 to work that its just not installing the python correctly. I tried running the line

ipkg install python26 py26-cheetah py26-openssl unzip unrar par2cmdline

and then it just hangs in telnet command window I'm using. After about 20 seconds it will say that it has lost connection and give me a window to disconnect or reconnect to it. Currently I'm thinking its because of winscp so I've switched over to using putty, the back bone to winscp program and see how it goes. However is there anything I should change in my attempt to get it installed?

Hmm, that's weird. I just ran through the whole process without any issues. I use cygwin to ssh into the router, but it shouldn't should make any difference really.

After a few hours of messing with it I got it working. The problem really was because of WinSCP. It didn't allow the router enough time to install and run the commands and or files. Putty didn't have a time out so it would wait forever until the router finished but because WinSCP had like a 10 second wait time I never got anything installed correctly. Thanks for the help lancethepants :D sabnzbd is working perfect now.
