First my configuration:
newly bougth dns-323, inserted 2 X 500 GB HD. Received with 1.04, now with 1.05, reformat everything (no data yet). I did not used the "Easy Search Utility", I just used the web browser to configure my device. I even assign a pseudo static IP in my router for the device to always have the same IP (DHCP, but still static...). No problem there. Samba (share) is working well, I already put over 200 GB of data for "testing".
When I log on on the "downloads", there is a new option "BitTorrent" (which I know well and use for many years, early adopter). When I click on it, I receive this message:
"Warning: Bit Torrent program is not installed.
You can find the Bit Torrent installation program in the Easy Search Utility."
I'm a bit surprise, but well I started the utility, and it doesn't find my device. I don't really need this utility. So... How can I add the Bit Torrent functionnality to the device? Do I need to put startup script on the root of the device (I saw "fun pack" on another forum...)? I there anybody that can make an archive of the necessary utility?
Any help appreciated.

From the new D-Link Easy Search Utility (ver 4.2.0.0)
you select your DNS-323 and press the BitTorrent button.
The DNS-323 will then restart and you can then use bit torrent

Thx for the tips. I'm pretty sure I've been to this page, and the utility wasn't there, but then again, maybe I just didn't go down enough!
I've downloaded the tools, run it, and same thing than the previous version: I can't see my device in this tool.
Anyone can help? How can I make this tool "see" the device witouth loosing my configuration? "Refresh" button doesn't help. The IP of the NAS is 192.168.1.11 - not in the 192.168.0.x that I can see as an example. Moving to 192.168.0 would be a lot of work (reconfiguration of the router may take an hour, I'm not sure, with all my static IP, port forwarding & cie). I'm not even sure that moving to 192.168.0 would solve this anyways.
Any way NOT to use this tool to install bit torrent? Probably just a bunch of files to put on the drive?
Thx.

The DNS-323 should get a DHCP address from you router your IP should be fine at 192.168.a.xx. Make sure you are using Easy Search Utility 4.2.0.0. does you DNS-323 show up and do you have a Volume_1? Highlight you DNS-323 and click the BitTorrent button on the Easy Search Utility. This should setup BitTorrent on the Drive installed. You should not have Volume_1 and BT under Drive mapping when you click your DNS-323 in the Easy Search Utility

I have these config :
DHCP give IP (fixed on the DHCP) to the NAS (always 192.168.2.25).
I have 2 Drive on it, one name VOLUME_1, and the other VOLUME_2
Attempt # 1
So, i click on the easy search utility, click on the discover NAS (note that i unmap everything in windows)
after i click on VOLUME_1 and i click on the BITTORENT.
I try Bittorent function in the Download menu, not working (it said i need to install Bittorent from the easy search utility.
Attempt # 2
So, i click on the easy search utility, click on the discover NAS (note that i unmap everything in windows)
after i click on the BITTORENT.
I try Bittorent function in the Download menu, not working (it said i need to install Bittorent from the easy search utility.
Attempt # 3
So, i click on the easy search utility, click on the discover NAS (note that i unmap everything in windows)
after i click on VOLUME_1 and i click on the BITTORENT.
I try Bittorent function in the Download menu, not working (it said i need to install Bittorent from the easy search utility.
I also try to MAP the VOLUME_1 as a "Z" drive, with no result.
Is there something missing ? Do i need to delete a drive before ?
All info i found about the Bittorent feature seem to tell me i have set everything right !.
-
For everybody's information, I found the source of my problem, ie NAS not discover by Search Utility.
1) I Mapped the NAS before the operation
2) I run the utility from the NAS (network), and Windows wasn't asking about "unblock this program"
I locally copied the Easy Search Utility, unmap my drives, run the utility, told Windows to shut up and accept this program, and THEN I could access / see the device AND install BitTorrent.
It's now time to explore a bit this new functionnality.
Thx Banshee1971 for giving me some hints about unmapping...

Thanks for this link... but... it's not working. The unit reboot, but i can't see the BT drive (or folder). Even if i boot from a clean computer without any mapping on it.
As i describe before, i have 2 drive on the NAS. One of 500GB, and the other of 300 GB. Both drive are not mirror at all.
The funny thing, is that i notice a folder appear on VOLUME_2, named "Nas_Prog" with a subfolder "BT" on it, that include 2 files. BT (5 Meg) and BTDOG (2k).
When i try the BITTORENT under the NAS interface, it said that the software are not install.
Next step, i copy these folder (NAS_PROG) from VOLUME_2 to VOLUME_1 ... and try again... no luck.
I retry the easy search utility (after copy the folder from VOLUME_1 to VOLUME_2), and finaly, the BT Folder appear under the Easy Search Utility. I got a "connection to server failled" ... it's a good start, i am progressing.
I check under "NAs_prog\BT" and notice a new file "btsettings"(only under the VOLUME_1) ... with this config on it :
webui_port: 54068
dir_active: /mnt/HD_b2/BT/incomplete
dir_completed: /mnt/HD_b2/BT/complete
dir_torrent_files: /mnt/HD_b2/BT/torrents
but still the "Connection to server failed" ...
I duplicate the folder structure on both drive, with the "btsettings" file, and reboot the NAS.
Finally .. it's working... now i need to find "why?" ... wich folder i need to keep, and on wich drive...
Any idea ?
-
Funny... After download a Torrent, i'm able to copy it somewhere else, but unable to delete the file from the NAS. I try to give manually "full" permission to the folder, but it change nothing... no right to delete the file on the BT folder (complete folder). Same result after a reboot.
So now, the only way to delete the download file are to format the drive...
Any suggestion, telnet command,... ?
-
Hmm Very strange anyone else see this issue? Are you using Network access rules with users? If so try deleting the users and re-creating you rules.
-
I just tried and had the same problem (couldn't delete the completed file). when i updateded the firmware the users were still there but i had to re-associate the shares. I'll try deleting my users and re-sharing.
-
Hmm Very strange anyone else see this issue? Are you using Network access rules with users? If so try deleting the users and re-creating you rules.
I didn't test this one. Yes, i use Rules, but given by Groups, and the group have FULL RIGHT to drive 1 and 2. All folder works fine, exept for the BT folder.
I try today to reformat both drive (remove from NAS, erase with Windows, install in the NAS again)
- Drive 1 : 500G
- Drive 2 : 320 G
When i try the Bittorent installation, it create "again" the nas_prog folder under Volume_2 (320 Go) ... and Bittorrent not working. So i copy this folder to drive_1, and i got another error message. So now, i think the last thing are to delete the folder from Drive_2, and check if Bittorent works...
I will try the delete/recreate user after lunch (with Groups).
-
I done my test....
Only working if i remove VOLUME_2. Not working at all if the VOLUME_2 are there. So i re-format VOLUME_2, and at the same time, test the TORRENT application ... working OK, and also able to delete file.
When i insert the format drive in the NAS, it ask to format it. After the reboot... not working (the Torrent application).
I notice this : on the NETWORK ACCESS section, permission switch from VOLUME_1 to VOLUME_2 ... so i delete all permission and recreate them (full right for the group).
no result.
So i retry EASY SEARCH UTILITY ... and i notice these folder appear on VOLUME_2 :
- BT (with subfolder COMPLETE and TORRENT) .... no right to create or erase... i have permission on VOLUME_1 ... but not on VOLUME_2 .. same result if i delete and recreate the NETWORK ACCESS group on both disk.
- NAS_PROG
on Volume_1, NAS_PROG/BT
i notice these setting
under BTSETTINGS.DAT :
d25:auto_bandwidth_management4:true9:bind_porti6881e17:conns_per_torrenti50e10:dir_active24:/mnt/HD_a2/BT/incomplete13:dir_completed22:/mnt/HD_a2/BT/complete17:dir_torrent_files22:/mnt/HD_a2/BT/torrents11:max_dl_ratei-1e21:max_total_connectionsi200e11:max_ul_ratei-1e16:max_ul_rate_seedi-1e10:seed_ratioi0e9:seed_timei0e20:ul_slots_per_torrenti4ee
conclusion : Bittorent not working if you have 2 drive, both configure as seperate drive.
-
I tried deleting/re-creating and connecting my user. Still can Not delete the stuff in the BT Completed folder. formating is NOT an option for me as i have almost a terabyte of information on it. Any insight would be appreciated.
Something else that needs to be looked at. I dont like how the BT folder automaticly has a share for ALL to access. Im able to make any other folder private i should be able to restrict access to that folder as well.

got the same problem.... no write access at all...

Hmm Very strange anyone else see this issue? Are you using Network access rules with users? If so try deleting the users and re-creating you rules.
Yes, I've the same problem. :(
I removed all groups and users to test it and nothing changed. I also removed and re added Volume_1 permissions, and nothing changed... On windows the folder is marked as "Read-only" with the box turned a little darker (instead of a check mark).
My configurations are:
NETWORK ACCESS LIST:
BT Volume_1/BT ALL Oplocks no Map no R/W Read/Write
Volume_1 Volume_1 ALL Oplocks no Map no R/W Read/Write
HARD DRIVE CONFIGURATION:
RAID 1
PS: After more tests, using the "secret webserver" (web/wfs_login.asp), I could delete the files (both with the administrator password or a "normal" user password). This means I can't delete from Windows (I tested it on 2 machines using XP), but I can from the unit...
PS2: I also tested deleting using the FTP server with Read/Write access and it doesn't work. The BT directory has 755 in terms of attributes (no group and no public permissions to write), while the my folders, which I can delete have 777 in terms of attributes (everybody can write). I tried to changed the attribute of the BT directory and it's sub-folders and the system didn't changed anything.

New test with V1.05 and BT today
1 - Backup "again" my NAS to my local drive
2 - write down all my config
3 - RESET TO FACTORY DEFAULT
4 - Re-configure the NAS
5 - In RAID CONFIGURATION, Set RAID Type and Re-Format : Choose "Standard Drive".
During the re-format, the NAS show me the 320 Go drive first, and the 500 Go drive second (but the 500Go drive are in the SLOT 1, the one on the LEFT)
6 - The NAS Label the 320 Go Drive (Left) : Volume_2 and the 500 Go Drive (Right) : Volume_1
7 - Retry the "Easy Search Utility", click on Refresh, Select the NAS and click on "Bittorent". note that i did'nt create any right yet, so the NAS are configure "open to all" by default.
Result : the same, no BT folder create on Volume_1. Only the "BT_PROG" Folder are create on Volume_2.

Last test i done seem to works.
I think i found the solution... but not very interesting for some people.
I purchase my NAS since V1.03, and upgrade tu V1.04, and now V1.05. I never RESET the NAS until last week, and i notice that when i RESET TO FACTORY the NAS, the Drive are still there, with their content. And if i format the DRIVE and RESET after, the iTunes and PnP Server still pointing to Volume that not exist. That mean something reside somewhere...
So i assume it's on the Drive, and i FORMAT the Drive in JBOD format. After that, i RESET to factory default, and RE-FORMAT the drive in Standalone Disk.
First thing i notice :
- The drive insert in the LEFT SLOT of the NAS (where it's label "DISK1" on the PCB of the NAS) are now name "VOLUME_2", and the other drive "VOLUME_1".
The easy search utility finaly works (at 50%) ! .. the BT finaly Works (at 50%) ! but ...
1 - I try fiew "little" TORRENT Transfert, and i can delete the file
2 - I try one 700 Meg TORRENT transfert, and i can't delete the file (i'm stuck with it)
I try to change the Access rules on this volume, and give it to "anyone, full access", and reboot the NAS ... nothing change, i'm prisoner of the 700 Meg file !
So my recommandation :
1 - Make the "Format Utility" really works, and really format and erase "ALL THE DRIVE"
2 - Make the "RESET TO FACTORY" really works.
3 - Make the BT Application works on any Volume ... So we wont be forme to do the Full reset, full format in jbod, full format in normal mode !
4 - Make sure that all works create by the BT client are not "READ ONLY" ...
Question :
How can i manually change the rules on this Folder (without the WEB client.. because it's not working), to make the file "deletable" ...
-
Today, i format the drive on the NAS (again), but before, i remove the user, and give access to ALL (the default access).
After Format, i try a 700Meg Torrent. Yes, i can delete it.
but...
sometime, i can't delete the file....
something weird happen on the drive with this new "BT" feature. Some 4Go file works OK (i can delete them), some 50 Meg also, some 700 Meg not...
The only way i found to correct this : Format the drive when it's full of Undeletable file. But i need to backup everything on my computer first. Good thing i have enough place on my computer !
-
Before deleting the completed files please make sure it is removed from to BitTorrent list using the remove completed button in the BT configuration page.
-

I "always" done that.
I notice something today, after download fiew more torrent. The file that wont delete, now can be delete after finish downloading the new torren, and click the button "Remove completed torren" ... (or the link associated with it).
So now, for no understandable reason, i was able to delete what it was unable to do...
-
Hmm strange but I will look into this I have not been able to replicate this issue yet but maybe something will come up.

Please do it. I've tried everything (except formating the hard-disk). Even tried accessing the drive using Linux instead of XP and the problem is exactly the same. I tried stopping the torrents before pressing removing, I tried the remove all button, and nothing seems to work. The only thing that works is the Web File Server (but not very practical as I've to delete file by file and it's not yet possible to delete one folder in just one step).
If you need some detail from my configuration/DNS-323 just ask by private email...
-
I tried the disk reformat. After formatting, the drive has the BT directory and a .system file. This is before I ran the bit torrent from the Easy Search. The BT directory is not accessible from the PC. I had a second NAS that had a couple of completed downloads. I cleared the torrent files from the web access page. The torrents were deleted but I could not delete the downloaded files in the complete directory from the PC. Definitely there is a bug with firmware v1.05. ???
-
ECF: Have you been able to reproduce the problem? I can reproduce the problem consistently on my unit. I tried reformatting, reset to factory default, single drive, etc. The problem just stay with the unit. Now the unit does not seem to power down the hard drive.
-
I have not been able to replicate this issue. This is very strange I cannot seem to find what causes this to happen on some peoples units it does not happen here.
-
I wonder if it is because when I first installed the bit torrent, the server would not run. I found out the problem was caused by installing bit torrent with two standard drives in the DNS-323. Once the second drive is removed, I reinstall bit torrent and the bit torrent server will run fine even after I put back the second drive. But then I discovered I could not delete any files in the BT directory on both drives. The BT directory got created on the second drive when I installed bit torrent the first time. Wonder if you can test this procedure with your NAS. I believe you will then see the problem.
-
The BT port settings doesn't hold after power cycling the unit! :(

Confirmed. This is bad. :'(

I have not been able to replicate this issue. This is very strange I cannot seem to find what causes this to happen on some peoples units it does not happen here.
I too can't seen to be able to delete bit torrent files after they have been downloaded. Is this what you are talking about?
-
Yes. We are currently looking into this issue.
-
I can confirm that my experience has been *exactly* that of Banshee1971, and I appreciate his step-by-step process. I replicated his events and difficulties exactly on my 323, sadly.

I'm pleased to help !.... I give lot of Step by Step info on these issue... hope to see next release (more bugs fix than new issue introduce) ...
-
note to all : since i discover that after a while, i can delete the torrent, i wait until i have fiew finish download (and remove finish item), and i can delete the "undelete" file...
Only need to wait fiew torrent before remove the "undeletable" torrent...
-
Well, I'm sad to report that firmware 1.06 is still causing me the same difficulties.
I upgraded to 1.06 and saw that the latest Easy Search utility 4.4 has an updated BT binary, so I thought I'd update that too.
Unfortunately, when I did so, I get the same issues as before, with the Volume_1 and Volume_2 confusion, unable to connect to server messages, etc.
Tonight when I get home I'll have to again step through Banshee1971's step by step to regain BT functionality.
Was our DNS323 built backwards or something?
