My folder looks exactly like yours oMac. Same file sizes and modification times (well off by 2 hours, likely a timezone thing).

I went through the manual reinstall (had to delete the Nas_Prog folder as root first due to permissions settings).

I am now able to download a torrent file then browse to that file and it will work. But I can't put a url directly into it.

I think the manual install would work on a non-mac too. Just need to extract to the root of the Nas.

Better than nothin

Oh this is interesting....

So I tried to bittorrent a file from the pirate bay:
This is officially released by Nine Inch Nails on the Pirate Bay:
http://torrents.thepiratebay.org/3712512/Nine_Inch_Nails_-_God_Given_multitrack_audio_files.3712512.TPB.torrent


So that url doesn't work.

I take that torrent file and upload it to my webserver:
http://www.protonstudio.com/Nine_Inch_Nails_-_God_Given_multitrack_audio_files.3712512.TPB.torrent


Guess what.... I can download from that url, maybe you guys who are having trouble can too....

Technically I am not sure how this could happen. Maybe the the piratebay url is failing the NAS regular expression test for a valid url somehow. It isn't likely blocked at the ISP level, since I can download the file directly. It also isn't likely the NAS firmware since it worked then just stopped without making any changes to the firmware...

Mysteries...

I can verify that your torrent URL work (load it as URL), but not the pirate bay one. Strange, something must differ but what?

Proton,
Did you try other sites like isohunt.com?

Ok, so the one thing that has changed with thepiratebay is that they implemented IPv6 addressing on January 19 which seems to coincide with the time I lost the ability to paste URLs into my DNS-323.

I fired up tcpdump last night to see what the 323 is requesting when I paste the URLs in. With protonsutdio.com the 323 queries the DNS server then downloads the torrent file, it's all good. However when I paste thepiratebay.org URL in, the 323 queries the DNS server, gets the IPv6 address back, waits a few seconds gets the IPv4 address then just stalls, it doesn't even try downloading the torrent file from TPB.

This morning I decided to make my DNS server act as master for thepiratebay.org for my internal network. I added only the IPv4 address for torrents.thepirate.org to the zone, restarted bind9 and guess what? The DNS-323 works perfectly just as before when I paste the URLs from TPB. So I have a temporary fix but we still need a permanent solution.
