How about transmission 1.80 beta? It is said to fix high CPU usage...

That would be nice, finally got transmission daemon running without freezing my PlayOnHD. Well let say for now, it runs a couple days now. Without massive download, only seeding, the CPU usage drops below < 25%

Changed among other things in settings.json to these values.

"peer-limit-global": 40,
"peer-limit-per-torrent": 10,

"upload-slots-per-torrent": 3

I had a lot of the undeletable file problems too.
IJSbeer pointed out to me that apparently in Linux, a file that gets cut of abruptly is put in a sort of protected mode and therefore cannot be deleted.
I too had to go through the chkdsk /f route to get it all fixed.

Running transmission without problems now, as long as I don't download more than 2 torrents at once and when doing that refrain from excessive read/write on the disk.

So far so good, but hope transmission 1.8 fixes the high CPU problems

Thanks,optware is great.

The Beta firmware 2891 broke optware. (for me)
The install script fails on wget.


Reverted to 2388.

Wow....total noob to telnet and linux, but got the optware on the machine and twonky is working.
But do I have to buy a licence for the twonky-server ??

Frater, you've done a great job by contributing the above! That is working perfectly on my brand-new PoHD box... and it's exactly what I want it to be... has FTP and UPnP Media Server.

So now I've got to learn how to configure an additional FTP account that will have access to certain directory inside this PoHD box when they login to it thru FTP - if you have any advice where I can start peeping on pleaae let me know...

Next I'll be accessing my PoHD from public internet, it could function as Media Server or FTP storage that I can access wherever I will be

Thanks a million again.

Yes you do : http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Applica ... onkyVision
That was a surprise for me,I thought optware was 100% free software.

Here is a howto :http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch15_:_Linux_FTP_Server_Setup#Tutorial
or just http://www.google.com/search?q=vsftpd+howto

Config files are in a different location.
How to find a config file:

Tip: use nano as your editor.

Hello vonck,

Thank you very much for your advice, I'll read those tutorials.
Happy holiday...

Optware is 100% gnu public license (not free software as you put it)...

Twonky is not part of optware. It's a commercial product which I added in my install...

I'm not doing much with my Playon!HD nowadays. I finally bought myself an HTPC on which I can use XBMC. After a long list of alphas and betas it was finally released on boxing day last year and I'm running it on a Windows 7 machine on which I also have several vmware machines running.....
Then I have my DD-WRT project which leaves me little time for the Playon!HD....
When a new firmware comes (and I do hope they will free the extra 158 MB) I will see if it needs revising...
