Transmission on ATV2?

It preforms just fine when I use it.

Sorry to revive a dead thread, but I'm trying to use ctorrent, so first I want to mount my afp share. I get this

Apple-TV:/Volumes root# ls
AirShip/
Apple-TV:/Volumes root# mount -t afp afp://user:pass@192.168.2.26/AirShip /Volumes/AirShip/
mount: exec /System/Library/Filesystems/afp.fs/Contents/Resources/mount_afp for /Volumes/AirShip: No such file or directory
Apple-TV:/Volumes root#

And yes, my user/pass was correct

Any ideas what's up? I installed afpfs-ng and still the same.

There is no way to mount any external filesystem on the atv2. afpfs-ng only has a commandline client (afpcmd) which isn't very helpfull here.

Well poo.

Thanks!

Code:

apt-get install com.onaips.blogspot.ctorrent

You have to SSH the .torrent file onto the ATV2, but it does work.

While the ATV2 has limited internal space, I could see this being used for files one or a few at a time, then transferring them to a NAS or computer after you're done seeding. Using only the ATV2 for the actual torrenting means you're using a lot less power than keeping your computer on.

What would be great is if there was a way to execute the commands from within XBMC. Maybe even make some kind of ctorrent GUI as an XBMC add-on (but that would be farther down the road). I know you can use Launcher to execute shell scripts on a PC, but it doesn't seem to work on ATV2 (unless I'm just doing it wrong).

Oh, and this also works on the iPhone/iPad/iPod touch. If you install it through cydia you should be able to use the Safari download plugin to load torrents directly through the browser instead of having to SSH them in. There's even a GUI for it called Torrentula (doesn't have all the options the CLI does. Sometimes you have to manually select a tracker for a multi-tracker .torrent if the first tracker is dead, or nothing happens) Great for when you're in a pinch and what you need is only available as a torrent.

I'm getting a 'Bus Error' when I execute ctorrent on my ATV2, any clues?
Thanks.
PS: I installed it using nitoTV.

I hear very good things about this router.

Not sure. I just used ctorrent the other day on my iPhone to grab something because I was away from my laptop and it worked without issue. It could be a torrent specific issue.

Understanding that the ATV doesn't have a descent SMB client for ctorrent, would it still be possible to get a simple working method for the atv to become a sort of seedbox seeding data from an SMB disk? If so, how would one achieve that?
