Transmission (bittorrent client) comes with blocklist support. Blocklist would allow transmission to block access to certain IP addresses. P2P users normally use level1 blocklist which contains IP addresses of anti-p2p companies, fake p2p file sources, government, military, science, research labs, bad education facilities, and more.

In order to enable blocklist support, you must be running transmission for fonz’s fun_plug 0.5. It is recommended that you know basic usage of “vi”.

Compiled the following packages for own consumption hence little or no support from me. These packages are meant for DNS-323 running fonz’s fun_plug 0.5.

Download

1. rtorrent-0.8.2.tgz
2. libtorrent-0.12.2.tgz
3. xmlrpc-c-1.16.6.tgz

Some other packages you may need

• libsigc++ (from fonz)
• screen (from fonz)

MLDonkey FAQs can be found here.

Finally found some time to do the patch and compiling the new binaries for DNS-313/DNS-323/DNS-343. Again these archives are for those boxes running on fonz’s fun_plug 0.5. Installation instructions are similar to MLDonkey 2.9.6.

Download

1. mldonkey-2.9.6-full-2 – eDonkey, BitTorrent, fileTP, DirectConnect
2. mldonkey-2.9.6-normal-2 – eDonkey, BitTorrent, fileTP
3. mldonkey-2.9.6-lite-2 – BitTorrent, fileTP

Download (with gd)

1. mldonkey-2.9.6-full-3 – eDonkey, BitTorrent, fileTP, DirectConnect
2. mldonkey-2.9.6-normal-3 – eDonkey, BitTorrent, fileTP
3. mldonkey-2.9.6-lite-3 – BitTorrent, fileTP

Note: Release 3 (-3) are compiled with graphical libraries. Hence you would need to install gd-2.0.35-1.tgz (or newer), libjpeg-6b-1.tgz (or newer) and libpng-1.2.29-1.tgz (or newer) on your NAS before you can start mlnet. Other wise you will see the message “can’t load library ‘libgd.so.2′” and/or “can’t load library ‘libjpeg.so.62′” in your mlnet.log.

Installing graphical support on your NAS

Telnet to your DNS-323 (or equivalent) and issue the following commands.

/ # cd /mnt/HD_a2
/mnt/HD_a2 # wget http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0.5/packages/gd-2.0.35-1.tgz
/mnt/HD_a2 # wget http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0.5/packages/libjpeg-6b-1.tgz
/mnt/HD_a2 # wget http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0.5/packages/libpng-1.2.29-1.tgz
/mnt/HD_a2 # funpkg -i gd-2.0.35-1.tgz
/mnt/HD_a2 # funpkg -i libjpeg-6b-1.tgz
/mnt/HD_a2 # funpkg -i libpng-1.2.29-1.tgz

After which, you could proceed with release 3.

Cannot FTP back to your DNS-323? Directory listing fail on the Pure-FTPd? Need to do passive (pasv) ftp on the Pure-FTPd on the DNS-323/DNS-343?

I face some problems while trying to ftp to my DNS-323/DNS-343 behind the router. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. I normally have problem when I am trying to ftp from a location that is behind NAT as well.
