I got wtorrent-current.zip from the following link instead of the link given in the article. Hope this helps someone.

Hi B-Rad,

Excellent tutorial.

I was able to do everything until I start getting ’500 – Internal Server Error’ when I call the install.php page (http://my_wdlxtv_ip:8081/wtorrent/install.php). It was working before trying put wTorrent to work.

The error that I am getting in the lighttpd error log is:

2010-06-20 03:38:10:(mod_fastcgi.c.2816) child signaled: 11
2010-06-20 03:38:11:(mod_fastcgi.c.2582) unexpected end-of-file (perhaps the fastcgi process died): pid: 23985 socket: unix:/tmp/php-fcgi.sock-4
2010-06-20 03:38:11:(mod_fastcgi.c.3367) response not received, request sent: 938 on socket: unix:/tmp/php-fcgi.sock-4 for /wtorrent/install.php?, closing connection

Did anyone had this same problem.

I have some problems when I’ve tried to add a new torrent.
The wtorrrent keep telling me that the torrent file is not a torrent file.

I looked into source code and I’ve observed that in AddT file, in function addRemoteTorrent, the first 13 charcters are read in buffer and then looking for “announce” string, which is actually present in the torrent file.

How can we avoid this situation without modifiying the source code and building?

Thanks in advance.

is there an encryption option? my isp throttles torrents and makes it impossible to download anything if I do not have encryption enabled. i have not purchased a media player b/c i am trying to find one with all the features i would like. a torrent option is great but i need encryption to bypass my isp.

<<< edit: Theres encryptions options in rtorrent.conf, read up on it and set them accordingly. –b-rad >>>

To Oga:
I too got the “no such applet” error.

It was because I had spaces in the “/opt/bin/htpasswd” file we created. Make sure there are no spaces in front of “#!/bin/sh”.

Why not just use Torrentfulx… its available in optware.

It does it all.
