utserver (uTorrent) Plugin for unRaid 5.0

Featured Replies

hi p4xel,

I'm glad you provided the plugin to us, and for the while it did work was really awesome.

Why, doesn't it work now? I am using it with no problem.

 

like others have said it goes unresponsive after running for a while and dies.

 

i noticed it myself, when downloading a cd or two, it works fine, but a movie "may" work for a while or may work for only a few minutes and then the gui is not reachable any longer.

 

until there is a better version, i have gone back to the windows desktop app :(

 

I have had it run for periods of over several weeks with no issues. donwloading >100GB over a single session.

My current uptime is 12 days - I have never had to restart the plugin because it got stuck. unRAID gets stuck more often  ;)

Accessing the webui on Chrome is patchy. As others have noted, I can normally access it shortly after starting, but soon it becomes unreachable.

 

However, in Firefox is always loads. If you find you can't get it, its worth trying in FireFox.

Good tip. I was getting 400 errors trying to load the interface with Chrome, but moving to firefox fixed that right up.  Thanks!

FYI, I've found that several of the problems I have previously have been fixed by upgrading the Web UI to the one linked in this thread: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=58156

 

Previously, I could not define persistent labels, or any labels for that matter, much less apply them to any given torrent.  I also think it just looks nicer ^^

This has been mentioned in the first post. I am using this WebUI and it's way better than default.

By the way, I found a way to enable uTrrent remote in utserver.

 

edit utserver.conf and add following lines

uconnect_enable: 1
uconnect_username: yourusername
uconnect_password: yourpassword

and restart utserver

Don't use username and password that you already used with Windows version.

 

I've seen that deluge is being introduced to unRaid. It might be a good replacement for uTrrent, check it out.

You know, it might be a good idea to differentiate important information that people keep missing by making it, oh, I dunno, BOLD or BIGGER or BOTH or something?

Hi,

 

I have been using utserver for about a month now and have not experienced any problem. The part I'm missing is the RSS downloader. I have set up RSS feeds but I'm now looking for the downloader where I can filter and select the files I want. Can this be done?

 

Thanks

if you are using the alternative WEBUI, then it in the toolbar

If you use the webui.zip that's linked to in the original post (just read through it carefully, you'll find it), the RSS downloader is present and working.  Just click on the RSS icon at the top to open the downloader GUI.

Hi,

 

I've just started using it, and ran into a problem.

My setup is the following: I have a separate hdd for utorrent and other stuff, mounted and shared with the unmenu (I've since moved the mount to the go file, but not the share). The problem is that while from telnet, MC, I can see that the files retain their unicode names (Japanese), the share seems to have a problem with it. It is strange, since my other, proper unraid shares have no problem with them.

 

What might be the problem and how can I fix it?

and restart utserver

How do you get this to stick. I stop utorrent from the webui and edit the utserver.conf and when i start it back up the setting is cleared. Ive tried editing the one in the

boot/config/plugins/utserver

and

my utserver install directory

i tried the plugin but after the installation of utserver, it still say "uTorrent server is not running".

 

Install directory: /mnt/user/Apps/utserver

Download directory: /mnt/user/Apps/utserver/downloads

Temporary directory: /mnt/user/Apps/utserver/temp

 

utserver seems to be installed since that i see the files in the utserver folder. Is there something else i should do to make it run?

 

alex

the utorrent is working now. I had to reboot the server to make it work!

I think I know what is the problem here, but unfortunately I am unable to fix/test that as I don't use unRAID any more. If anyone is interested - write_utconfig() function is recreating the configuration at start, so any changes made to the utserver.conf file are reset.

May I ask why you stopped using unraid?

May I ask why you stopped using unraid?

I would rather answer different question: "Why have I been using unRAID in the first place?"

I had unfortunate incident with my single-drive Buffalo NAS. Seagate drive developed motor seizure + media damage. I managed to recover most of personal data, ditched movies and stuff that I could get elsewhere.

I decided to build a proper mini-file-server. I bought HP Microserver. I had a bunch of drives of various sizes laying around. At that time, with those resources, I found unRAID to be the best solution for flexible drive array with some redundancy. With time I put away enough money to buy 6*2TB Hitachi drives. I was considering building new unRAID, but with its limitation and poor performance I decided to migrate to Ubuntu Server. I think it was a good choice. I learned a lot while building and configuring it, and it is much easier to customize.

Hopefully, you're still checking this once in a while! =)

 

I'm having a hell of a time getting this working. Like the other poster said, after a reboot everything's gone. I've rem'd out just about everything I can find that calls for that to be written to but it keeps happening. I then tried to just tell it to use my own script rather than deal with finding the problem... that worked once.

 

What do I need to edit/add/remove/sacrifice to get my settings to stay?! :)

 

The .tar.gz has been 404 there at the utorrent website for some days now. Since the plugin wants to download it to make it works, it stops with an error and thus the daemon isn't started. Here is what it says :

Downloading http://ll.download3.utorrent.com/linux/utorrent-server-3.0-ubuntu-10.10-27079.tar.gz
Error: Source directory does not exist. Extracting failed.Starting utserver version 3.0 build 27079

 

I've downloaded the .tar.gz elsewhere and i was wondering how to correctly alter the utserver.plg to make it use my file instead of downloading  the file at the torrent website.

 

Here is the original bit of code i think is related to that :

#check current version and extract version and download URL
cd /tmp
wget -q -O linux http://www.utorrent.com/downloads/linux
VERSION="$(cat linux | grep maindownloadtitle | awk -F'[()]' '{print $2}')"
echo "Current Version $VERSION"
sleep 2
STABLE="$(cat linux | grep -o http://[^[]*.tar.gz | head -1)"
echo "Downloading $STABLE"
sleep 2
rm linux

# Create temporary directory to download and extract files in
mkdir /tmp/utinstall
cd /tmp/utinstall

# Download utserver and untar
wget -q -O utserver.tar.gz $STABLE

if [ ! -e "utserver.tar.gz" ]; then 
	echo "Error: Downloading failed."
	sleep 5
	return
fi

tar -xf utserver.tar.gz

# Get directory that files have been untared to and copy to $INSTALLDIR
SOURCEDIR="$(find /tmp/utinstall -name utserver -printf %h)"

if [ ! -e "$SOURCEDIR/utserver" ]; then 
	echo -n "Error: Source directory does not exist. Extracting failed."
	sleep 5
	return
fi

echo "Files extracted to $SOURCEDIR"
sleep 2

cd $SOURCEDIR
cp -Rf ./* $INSTALLDIR >/dev/null
chown -R $RUNAS:users "$INSTALLDIR"

echo "Copying files to $INSTALLDIR"
sleep 2

if [ ! -e "$INSTALLDIR/utserver" ]; then 
	echo "Error: Could not copy files to destination."
	sleep 5
	return
fi

rm -Rf /tmp/utinstall

echo "Installation completed..."
sleep 2

 

I've unsuccesfully tried some changes but i lack some knowledge, i'm very basic with that.

 

Could someone please change it in order to use the .tar.gz i personnally downloaded and put in a share of mine

 

;)

has anyone else noticed/experienced that utorrent will always be writing to disk and so leaves the parity drive spun up for any active torrents seeding?

Well, utorrent sorted it out by themselves by temporarily (as they said) allowing access to downloads. So i did nothing but restarting the server in unraid plugins configs...  :-\

Ok, thanks. Where is the log file located that you were referencing?

That was not, it's an excerpt from the plg file.
