Hello,
I'm running Firmware: DD-WRT v3.0-r27858 std (09/28/15) on my R7000 and i can't for the life of me install transmission (I've tried so many guides etc but all see to be outdated and throw errors)
I have 6tb drive connected with NAS enabled (Formatted as NTFS can't be reformatted due to the data on it) This drive seems to be mounted as /tmp/mnt/sdb2.
I also have a number of thumb drives etc if they are needed to get it working.
The main reason i installed DD-WRT was to use it for downloading torrents in the background but I'm about ready to give up (its much harder then i thought).
So is there an up to date guide i can follow to get it working? Ultimately i would like to download the torrents to the 6tb drive connected.
Load Kong's STD build from here, http://www.desipro.de/ddwrt/K3-AC-Arm/ as it has Transmission preloaded. _________________ Segment 1 XR700 10Gb LAN, 1Gb WAN ISP BS

Thanks
look, it's not easy but after two weeks of researching I got this.
I'm sharing with you my copy&paste of findings:
gil80, thank you for the doc.
I added it to the R7000 tips/tricks at the top of the Broadcom thread. _________________ Router currently owned:

Hi Slidermike, Thank you (!!) for helping me a lot over this forum.
This document needs to be re-tested for validity. I've used it on a Kong's build 5 months ago.
Since then I upgraded my R7000 build twice and didn't need to reinstall transmission because it's still working as it is.

Got opkg working by setting it up as a partition residing inside JFFS as a folder in a usb flash drive on the second usb connector on the router, the USB 2.0 one.
The configuration part is a little tricky, had to have an external config file (settings.json) and make transmission load it as it's config on boot with this command: (file is there, just reference its location and not the file itself, it will look for it)
Code:
/opt/bin/transmission-daemon -g /opt/bin/
Hope, REALLY hope this helps somebody! _________________ NETGEAR AC1450 w/ DD-WRT v3.0-r30880M kongac (11/14/16)

I have found that installing transmission through entware works better than the transmission included in the dd-wrt firmware. When I used the built in version I was unable to set a working (in progress) folder and a watch folder. After installing through entware, I was easily able to set these folders and have them work persistently after firmware upgrades. Also nzbget works well through entware.
One glaring weakness either way is that if you use the openvpn client in the firmware along with policy based routing, transmission will completely bypass your vpn.
Hello all,
I installed this versione of DD-WRT on my R7000 router:
DD-WRT v3.0-r37015M kongac (09/23/1
but I haven't found any option on it to enable transmission. Could you tell me in which way can I enable it? I need to install it through opkg?
thanks
Ivan
