Guys

waiting for update from fastraj

He has WDTV Live & has told in this thread that he will test this firmware. If torrents are working then we are good to go. I see lots of complain still on rad's site.

I am sure each one of you like to shutdown your comp & let WDTV download your stuff overnight without noise & minimum power ;)
 
Guys, I have managed to hack the WDTV to run linux and do whatever I wanted. I have already explained the process in this thread :

And Im sure the next question will be if I tried torrents in specific ! I did not, but I got Samba working on the WDTV. So installing Transmission (the torrent downloader for Linux) should be a breeze.

I would love to get my hands on the WDTV Live for 6.5k if there is a GO. Let us know.

Thank you.

I am more inclined towards WDTV Live

Did someone try this one ? It shows WDTV Live working with torrent.

Please confirm if any WDTV/WDTV Live user has tried above method & working fine.

Great post. Already saved it.

Were you able to install Utorrent on it ? Would like to know if you get any port forward issues ? I dont have any requirement of samba server, just looking for torrent.

If you were able to make it work on WDTV then I am sure WDTV Live will be easy breeze coz it already has RJ45 port.

Please do try Utorrent & Give feedback.

(You are in bangalore so possibly meet up & talk to the guys from where we can have Bulk deal or GO)
 
@vinayaga

Sure, pls do try with Utorrent. Would be great if you can post method with screenshot as you did earlier.

Once successful, we are good to go.
 
hey i havent updated my firmware .....heard of too many bricked units !! am happy with my live as it is!!
 
Hi folks,
Iam interested in WDTV live in Rs6500 (including shipping - possible?). Let me know how to get through GO.
Thanks
 
Thanks for views guys.

Waiting for vinayaga, He is the guy who modified & gave full process for WDTV.

I am sure he will be doing his review on WDTV live by this weekend.
 
Why do you want to run utorrent , running it on a linux distribution would require WINE et al , rtorrent and the likes would be lighter .
