ctorrent for Debian on DNS-323
Like most users out there, I like to make the best out of the NAS! One of the functionalities that I would like to have would be able to run bittorrent on the NAS itself. Just imagine only having a NAS online to download your torrents. This way I can shave some money off the electricity bills. There are already NAS(es) out there that supports bittorrent right out of the box (unlike DNS-323). But how many of them can hold up to 2 sata harddisks, has a metal enclosure for better heat dissipation, or nice blue leds? After toying with the DNS-323, I realised that it is capable of supporting bittorrent protocol and possibly other stuffs.
By refering to the website of CTorrent, you would realise that CTorrent has been discontinued. Sounds pretty sad. But then, there is Enhanced CTorrent. CTorrent is known to be lightweight and quick.
Required files: ctorrent-1.3.4-dnh3
I have compiled Enhanced CTorrent for use on Debian on DNS-323. So just download it and extract the the file to the following location
/mnt/HD_a2/etch/usr/bin
Try issuing the follow command in your Debian and see if it works
sh-3.1# ctorrent -h

Have fun torrenting!
