Using Transmission

There is several BitTorrent clients, provided by Entware: btpd, deluge, rtorrent, but Transmission is most popular of them.
Optionally, you can open ports on your device to simplify connection between peers:
iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --destination-port 51413 -j ACCEPT
iptables -I INPUT -p udp --destination-port 51413 -j ACCEPT
opkg install transmission-web
Create the data directories (adjust as desired):
mkdir /opt/Torrent/
mkdir /opt/Torrent/Incomplete
mkdir /opt/Torrent/Watch
mkdir /opt/Torrent/Completed
Make sure Transmission isn't already running, then edit its configuration:
/opt/etc/init.d/S88transmission stop
nano -w /opt/etc/transmission/settings.json
You will want to adjust the following paths:
"download-dir": "/opt/Torrent/Completed",
"watch-dir": "/opt/Torrent/Watch",
"incomplete-dir": "/opt/Torrent/Incomplete",
It's also recommended to password-protect the Web UI. Set the following parameters:
"rpc-authentication-required": true,
"rpc-username": "admin",
"rpc-password": "yourpassword",
Your password will be hashed the first time Transmission runs, so it's safe to enter it as clear text there.
Everything is now configured. You can manually start it immediately (it will automatically start at boot time):
/opt/etc/init.d/S88transmission start
