We need a usb-flash formatted EXT2 or a usb-hdd formated EXT3 DON'T TRY TO INSTALL ON NTFS OR FAT32 FORMATTED DISKS BECAUSE YOU ONLY GET A BIG HEADACHE

Will this work on EXT4?
 
Does Transmission support scehduling? For example, if I want to schedule all downloads to run between 2am and 8am (during this time the downloads do not count towards my total allowed by my ISP) is it possible in the GUI?

I have installed Transmission, added the swap (wouldn't work without) but I don't see the folders Incomplete and Complete. I downloaded two files, one small and one large successfully but have no idea where they are lol!

Cheers!

look where the folders are in /opt/etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
don't forget to stop transmission when editing settings.json

I changed the completed to Transmission/Complete and left the other at Incomplete. I can see the seeds and resume files but not the actual files themselves.

did you added full path?
/mnt/sda1/Transmission
or if the disk has a label
/mnt/LABEL/Transmission

I think my problem lies here. I am going remove the current label from the disk and let it get the default sda1, it will easier this way.

If I leave the download folder as the default "Transmission" this will be ok as well?

I will let you know how I make out. Thanks!

Update: Turns out I just needed to reboot the router and all is good.

Thanks TeHashX

Cheers!

have you disabled Asus download master?
reboot router and try with another internet browser

Per the instructions, I installed Asus download master, then deleted it, so it's not available.

Per your suggestion, TeHashX, I restarted the router, but now I get the error:
"Starting transmission-daemon:./opt/bin/transmission-daemon: can't load library 'libevent-2.0.so.5'
[FAILED]"

So, I re-installed download master, then disabled it (instead of deleting it).
I get the same error.

Transmission (at http://192.168.1.1:9091/transmission/web/) is trying to load a bunch of assets (such as jquery and other js files) but is being prevented from doing so.
I have verified this in Chrome and Safari.

Any ideas how to open up that communication?

Thanks!
 
Witch router?
Code: 
ipkg install libevent libiconv

My router is the Asus RT-N66U (VER.B1)

I tried
Code: 
ipkg install libevent libiconv
but it gives:
Code: 
Package libevent (2.0.20-1) installed in /opt/ is up to date.
Nothing to be done
An error ocurred, return value: 4.
Collected errors:
Cannot find package libiconv.
Check the spelling or perhaps run 'ipkg update'

don't need libiconv on n66u, you are missing some step, try to install from scratch and will work.
Post here outputs from following commands first:
Code: 
mount
df
free
uname -a

Transmission update to 2.83

Is it normal that doing IPKG UPDATE and IPKG UPGRADE does not upgrade transmission to 2.83? I'm still on 2.82 but 2.83 was relesed at least one month ago..

Here is v2.83 but I don't think will start because require openssl v1.0.0, if someone will compile openssl for optware please post here
