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.
