You could download the Transmission application from Embedded System website
If you got the following error connecting to the website:
403: Forbidden
Unauthorized IP Address.
Either disable the IP address whitelist or add your address to it.
If you’re editing settings.json, see the ‘rpc-whitelist’ and ‘rpc-whitelist-enabled’ entries.
If you’re still using ACLs, use a whitelist instead. See the transmission-daemon manpage for details.
You need to edit the configuration file.
There are 2 files that you could change.
The first one is the conf file which is located in “/usr/local/transmission/etc” folder
GigaNAS> cd /usr/local/transmission/etc
GigaNAS> ll
-rw-r–r– 1 root root 323 Jun 19 2009 conf
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Feb 2 23:43 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 2 23:43 .
GigaNAS> cat conf
TRANSMISSION_WEB_DIR=”/usr/local/transmission/web/”
TRANSMISSION_CONFIGS=”/public/.transmission”
TRANSMISSION_DOWNDIR=”/public/Downloads”
TRANSMISSION_ALLOWED=”192.168.*.*,127.0.0.*”
TRANSMISSION_DOWN_SPEED=”100″
TRANSMISSION_UP_SPEED=”50″
TRANSMISSION_MAX_PEERS=”120″
TRANSMISSION_MAX_TORRENT=”60″
TRANSMISSION_PORT=”5000″
This file contains default path and settings loaded automatically at every reboot.
During the installation of the package, another configuration file settings.json should be created in “/mnt/md1/public/.transmission” (replace “md1” if you aren’t using RAID).
If the configuration file is not there, create a new Text file from Notepad and add the content manually as reported below, then restart the NAS.
GigaNAS> cd /mnt/md1/public/.transmission
GigaNAS> ll

To access Transmission Web Interface from the web, you need also to open port 9091 in your internet router.
