pyLoad installation done. Here are the steps

Code:

pacman -Sy python2 python-pycurl

Create a symbolic link for python to python2

Code:

ln -s /usr/bin/python2 /usr/bin/python

Download and extract the pyLoad source package

Code:

wget [url]http://download.pyload.org/pyload-src-v0.4.8.zip[/url]
unzip pyload-src-v0.4.8.zip

Go to the folder in which pyLoad was extracted and run

Code:

python pyLoadCore.py -s

Set the download path and login data etc. When it asks for type of webserver, choose 'threaded'

Now create a file /etc/rc.d/pyLoadCored and add the following

Code:

#!/bin/bash

. /etc/rc.conf
. /etc/rc.d/functions

USER=root
PIDFILE=/home/$USER/.pyload/pyload.pid

case "$1" in
  start)
    stat_busy "Starting pyLoadCore"
    su $USER -c '/usr/bin/pyLoadCore --daemon' &> /dev/null
    if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
      stat_fail
    else
      add_daemon pyLoadCored
      stat_done
    fi
    ;;
  stop)
    stat_busy "Stopping pyLoadCore"
    # killall -w -s 2 /usr/bin/pyLoadCore &> /dev/null
    su $USER -c "kill -15 $(cat $PIDFILE) && rm -f $PIDFILE" &> /dev/null
    if [ $? -gt 0 ]; then
      stat_fail
    else
      rm_daemon pyLoadCored
      stat_done
    fi
    ;;
  restart)
    $0 stop
    sleep 3
    $0 start
    ;;
  *)
    echo "usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
esac
exit 0

Make it executable

Code:

chmod +x /etc/rc.d/pyLoadCored

If you extracted the pyload files to /home/pyload then run the following command

Code:

ln -s /home/pyload/pyLoadCore.py /usr/bin/pyLoadCore

After that edit /etc/rc.conf and in the last line which says 'Daemons' append 'pyLoadCored'. Here is mine as an example

Code:

DAEMONS=(set-oxnas-mac !hwclock syslog-ng network netfs crond sshd openntpd webmin transmissiond samba pyLoadCored)

Guys after three long years, I'm facing a wierd issue, Whenever a download is going on, the Plug becomes unresponsive. I.e i'm not able to access the transmission web interface. I have never faced this issue and when the torrents are paused i'm able to access the UI and the plug is very responsive. I thought my pen drive was dying but thats not the case. It seems like whenever download is going on, i'm not able to access the plug through file zilla or Putty

Ok so im on a 40Mbps connection, and when i get 5Mbps downloads the device becomes responsive. Hence i have restricted the download speed to 1mbos and it seems to be working without any issues

The emmc on my plug died years back. I would still be using it as a network attached storage if it was working. Put it back in it's original box and laid it to rest in some cardboard box with other old electronic items.

They're regular dupont-type 0.1" jumper wires but to make them fit inside the 2mm pitch connector, I removed the outer plastic shell on two of them. I made a more permanent connection by buying 2mm pitch harnesses from sunrom and crimping on a 0.1" connector on the other side: https://www.sunrom.com/c/jst-ph-20mm?s_93[]=4

But I never needed to access the serial console after the initial install of debian, these things have fantastic reliability and uptime.
