Hydra LAN User Guide
3.5.3 BTorrent
In this section, you can manage your torrents and add new downloads to the queue.
Before you add the first job, set a limit for the download and upload speed according to
your network’s available bandwidth. After changing the settings, press the Save button to
apply the new configuration.
To start downloading files, you will have to download a torrent file from the internet first
and then upload it to the Hydra LAN. Once the torrent file has been added, you can start
downloading. The downloaded files will be stored in your “/public/btdownload” folder.
The BitTorrent™ client on the Hydra LAN can download 5 files at a time with a maximum
of 40 files in the queue. Remember to start the download again if the Hydra LAN has been
turned off or rebooted before the file has been downloaded completely.
For more details, see BTorrent under Additional Features in chapter 5.
Note: If there are no hard drives installed or the drives are not yet formatted, this menu is
not available.
Note: The BitTorrent™ client on the Hydra LAN is using the TCP protocol and the ports
6881-6889. Make sure those ports are not blocked by your router or its firewall and if
necessary, set up port forwarding, so that the traffic for those ports is forwarded to your
Hydra LAN.
