Title: Can't add torrents to downloa neither form url nor file
Post by: manusz on November 27, 2009, 08:11:22 AM: I have successfully set up my NAS: ftp up and running. Remote web gui access: up and running. Mapped drive: OK. Bittorrent: installed.
I have no major problems at all, but there´s something I missing, I believe It's something stupid, but can't figure it out.
I can add files remotely (accessing from my workplace to my NAS) to the bittorrent client, and it downloads files.
At work I use XP PRO 32 BIT, and am behind very strong proxy and firewall, among others.
But the problem remains at home (within my network, where resides my NAS), therer, I can't add any torrent files nor URLs. Ibelieve it might be linked the location of the file, since it says for example: "c:\fakedir...." URL just don't seem to work, might be the URL, haven't tried much about it.
It doesn't matters in wich directory I place the file, always the same. I have also tried adding the torrent to my NAS \BT\TORRENT DIR, and nope, nothing happens.
I have Vista x64 running at home.
Don't know where to begin trying, ¿any clues, anybody?
Thanks.

I had exactly the same problem. I found a post on the net stating the "fakepath..." had something to do with windows security. I fubbed around, eventually opened a cass with DLink. They were useless in the matter. Finally I loaded firefox and got the NAS to load from file. I never have got it to load from URL, that is probably me(inexperience).

FWIW, The issue was not a there then gone using firefox. It eventually stabilized and I don't have the problem anymore. I have not checked lately, but I seem to remember that I can even use IE8 now.

I use 1.08b5 and have the BT loaded as an app(new style app install). If you upgrade to 1.08b5 and want to load as an app: upgrade, load BT app, I removed the app(it disappeared), then I reloaded the app again to prove it is loaded in the new style.

Post by: manusz on November 27, 2009, 07:59:29 PM: Wel It seems like firefox works (I installed the portable version). I say so, because, the path seems to be correct, but I click on the add button and nothing happens. I don't know if my NAS takes toooo long to update info, but It's not shown in the download tab. The files I added from XP machine are downloading flawlessly.
The problem resides that I don't have any more 32 bit computers at home, just vista x64 and 7 x64
Will installing XP VM solve the problem (not a final solution, but just a patch at least)
Does anybody knows if this issue is fixed in b5???
ECF Intervention on this issue will be welcome

I press the add button (from firefox, since it doesn't show the c:\fakepath...) and nothing happens, It loads a page (could see the loading bar at the bottom of the explorer) but it returns to the same page, ¡nothing!
Again a hand from ECF good be great on this isue.

Post by: manusz on November 28, 2009, 06:43:24 AM: Just checked, Installed XP in a Virtual Machine and It can upload torrents to my nas and it works flawlessly. I'll add this issue as a bug to be fixed on next FW.

Post by: acomp917 on December 01, 2009, 12:20:36 PM: ECF,

Read "acomp917" post... that's me :)

I was using 32 bit xp home and had the problem. I first loaded ubuntu 64 bit and got the 323 to accept torrent files. After that, I installed FF under windows. As I wrote, It was not a here then gone problem. It seemed to slowly go away while using FW 1.07. I have since up'd to 1.08b5 and will kindly REFUSE to use any other version.

BTW, I am a trained troubleshooter and never found a solid return. The problem just seemed to slowly disappear.

That's right. I cannot add torrents from 64 bit OS machines. I patched this, installing a virtual machine of Windows XP 32 bit.
If you need me to provide more info, just let me know.

Post by: ECF on December 02, 2009, 02:24:24 PM: I just tried it in Win7 64bit and it seemed to work fine I tested it in IE8.

Post by: Roachie on December 09, 2009, 05:25:52 PM: It's not just you manusz...I had it working fine and then all of a sudden I can't add torrents from file any more. I'm running XP Pro 32-bit and using FireFox (latest version). The only thing that has changed for me is that I just applied a Windows patch, so I'll try rolling it back and see if that is the cause.

Post by: manusz on December 10, 2009, 04:54:17 AM: I've been doing some research. ¿could it be that excesively long file names have this issue with the NAS?
Title: Re: Can't add torrents to downloa neither form url nor file
Post by: gunrunnerjohn on December 10, 2009, 06:21:38 AM: Another possible issue could be the characters in filenames. Linux and Windows have different legal file name character sets. Check for special characters in the filenames.
