Hi all,

Today an annoying message started to appear on the BitTorrent "DOWNLOADS" list.
"Connection to server failed" (firmware 1.08)

When clicking the "Retry" button I can briefly see the download and upload speeds changing, but the error comes up suddenly after. This makes impossible to use the webpage so BitTorrent is not usable.

I couldn't find any solution around, therefore I looked into the problem myself. The solution is to do exactly what the "Retry" button does (refresh the torrent list, which probably involves the creation of a new connection between the web script and the server daemon). In brief, to fix the problem:

1. Edit the file /Volume_1/Nas_Prog/BT/webui/fe02.asp
2. Find two statements like this:

   if (failedRequest(request)) {
      showConnectionError();
      return;
   }

and replace them with this

   if (failedRequest(request)) {
      torrentsRefresh();
   }

3. Save
4. Refresh the webpage to see the result.


P.s. To edit the files you should have telnet access (that is fun_plug installed). Either use the "vi" editor from command line or "chmod 777 fe02.asp", edit it with notepad, and "chmod 744 fe02.asp" back.

Hope this helps!

---------------
There is another way to get around the problem. It involves changing the refresh rate to a value below 0.5 seconds. To do this change this line:
   torrentsRefreshTimeout = setTimeout("torrentsRefresh()", sdkCtl.refreshFreq);
into this:
   torrentsRefreshTimeout = setTimeout("torrentsRefresh()", 400);

THIS SOLUTION WILL CAUSE THE LOAD OF DNS-323 TO GO UP FAST. That means each time you open that web page to work with BitTorrent, you are loading the machine with a lot of unnecessary work. The default refresh rate is 5000 (5 seconds) and is set in "btsdk.js" file.

P.s.2 Somebody correct me if I am wrong for anything.

Hi:
Running into the same problem.. tried using your solution, but could not find "webui" directory.. i was using 1.09.. but then downgraded to 1.08.. still can't find webui.. I found the file fe02.asp in /web/web/bt/ but that is read-only file system and could not edit..

Any suggestion?

thank you
