One time, it happened to me and i had to be forced to restart my PCH, other times i close the window and restart a new one and all was fine ...

Good one, that is important indeed. Saving the settings isn't just storing the configuration in a file but also restarting the complete btpd daemon. When users browse away just after kill the daemon will not be started. I'll look if I can add an additional nohup command, which is sadly not on the NMT per-default.

Hi all
I need an advice about customising BTPD to get max up&down speed.
So I have 10 mbit/sec (symmetrical) internet channel at home. PCH A-110 use WiFi dongle TP-LINK 821n.
What I have to put in BTPD settings for best results?

Now I have: http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/3308/sbor...ad299_orig

Thx !-)

Thanks Ger and shurup. It's a fantastic idea.

Well, it seems that the settings of upload and download speed limits are not saved across device reboot which is rather annoying.

That is not true. the settings are saved on you HDD. They are stored there and used on start of btpd. Whenever you save the settings it in effect does a stop and start in exactly the same way if it where a reboot. Perhaps something else it going on on your NMT. Can you reproduce it for instance?
I rebooted my NMT a couple of times and the settings remain on 75kb up.

[avdim]

Hm, I saw this after reboot on accident power loss. And it defaults to 75 up, but it is too much for my connection. The problem is that I can’t find this magic 75 in any configuration files otherwise I will change the number for the one I want and the problem will be solved. I suspect that it is hardcoded in the binary but I don’t want to set up the build environment.
I can see INI file in btpd folder with all my settings in it, after normal reboot they seem to be here, but after “hard” reboot there were problems.

What are your the contents of start_app.sh and btpd.ini?
Perhaps we can figure out what is going on on your machine.

Thanks for your great work! BTPD is the best client for fast connections (mine's 10mbit), very stable speed (unlike transmission).
Is there any windows interface application, something like 'Transmission Remote' for btpd? winBTPD is not working (or i don't know howto make it work)

btpd.ini

Code:

DownloadDir=/share/Download
MaxPeers=0
Port=8881
MaxUploads=-1
EmptyStart=0
DownloadLimit=0
UploadLimit=45
SortOrder=0

start_app.sh

Code:

#!/bin/sh
#

PATH=$PATH:/share/bin
HOME=/share
export TERM="xterm"
alias mc="mc -c"

#Copy waitimages when they are available
if [ -n "`ls -Al /share/Photo/_waitimages_/*.jpg 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
    cp /share/Photo/_waitimages_/* /bin
fi

#For some NMT hardware (like Popcorn B-110) compatibility may go up when creating a
#symbolic link HARD_DISK to SATA_DISK
if [ ! -d "/opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK" ]; then

Oh dear Moved to using btpd for public tracker stuff, mapped the port through so I could keep an eye on it from work, all looked fine. Been using it over the easter weekend without problem, and could get to it from work this morning without issue. I went into the configuration options (setup.php, from my work machine), upped the number of peers a little as I'd set it quite low, and saved the new config - and now I get a 'connection refused' error when trying to view index.php - although I can still get to setup.php - I'd also hacked about with torrentwatch to get it working with btpd 0.15 (was working fine) and this too now returns a connection refused error, so it's definitely b0rk. I can just reboot it tonight, but wondered if anyone had any ideas in the meantime?

[Ger Teunis]

Yeah, do NOT click away during save of config.
The save action can take a long time, when you open a new page during save the btpd will not be correctly restarted.

[Squeek]

ahh, noted will give it a boot tonight, and be a bit more patient in future

Shurup> could you display a on-top div which mentions not to click away while saving (onclick javascript or button orso)?
