Installing pyLoad on a Router

The advantage in installing pyLoad on a Router is quite obvious: You don`t need to run your Computer several hours to make your Downloads. Your electricity saving Router can do this for you.
As pyLoad is written in python, it is possible to install it on a Router (if it supports this). The Router needs also a USB-connection for a Harddrive and you need a USB-Harddrive.

You can install pyLoad on the following Routers/NAS-Devices:

• most Router from Asus
• the Buffalo Linkstation live v3 and pro v3
• NAS-Devices with Optware (like Conceptronic and D-Link)

On the Router have a special Firmware (Linux) to be installed, which adds many functions for the Router, like

• Email-Server
• Website-Server
• and: pyLoad support

Manual from FastJack, translated to English by !gm

1. Opening the Box

To make it possible to connect to the Box with telnet, you need to Download theacp_commander and save it on your PC.

Be sure to have java installed. Then open with start-run-cmd the windows command line and go to the acp_commander folder. then type:

  acp_commander.jar -t [IP.OF.THE.BOX] -o -addons

Be sure to have your Firewall deactivated, to have the procedure running well.

2. Installing of needed packages

To install the needed packages for pyLoad, we need to load the following file onto the hard drive of the box: http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs05q3armel/cross/stable/lspro-bootstrap_1.2-7_arm.xsh

Then you need putty to connect trough telnet with the box (how that works everybody should know) The username is root and the password is empty. Navigate to your bootstrap file:

  cd /mnt/disk1/[rest of the path to your file]
  then type ./lspro-bootstrap_1.2-7_arm.xsh

now should be the following things to be installed when done:

  ipkg update
  ipkg upgrade

so you can have your system always stayed up-to-date.

Now you can download the rest of the packages:

  ipkg install python
  ipkg install py25-crypto
  ipkg install py25-curl
  ipkg install py25-django
  ipkg install tesseract-ocr
  ipkg install unzip
  ipkg install screen
  ipkg install nano
  ipkg install tesseract-ocr-lang-eng

3. Download the newest Version of pyLoad

http://bitbucket.org/spoob/pyload/get/default.zip

just Download and extract it on the harddrive of your box.

4. Adjusting the file

editing the config

  cd /mnt/disk1/[rest of the path to your file]
  nano --nowrap config

then edit the config to your needs

write at listenaddr the ip of your box

5. starting pyLoad

type in putty:

  screen -dmS pyload python /mnt/disk1/[rest of the path to your file]/pyLoadCore.py

From now on pyLoad should be available from http://[IP.OF.THE.BOX]:[PORT.SET]

You can also use the command line interface which is saved in the pyLoad folder.

./pyLoadCli.py -l

just use the values from the config-file

Thats all, have fun with pyLoad.

Chapter 1 - The Init-File /etc/init.d/rcS

You will have to edit it(with vi!), to start the Optware in front of the Extensions.

Chapter 2 - The Start-Script

Download the S90pyload-Script(Forum) and copy it to your “share”-Folder.

http://forum.pyload.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=83

Change the Fileextension from *.sh.txt to *.sh and copy to /etc/rc.d/extensions/

mv /mnt/disk1/share/S90pyload.sh.txt /etc/rc.d/extensions/S90pyload.sh

Give the File the right Permissions.

In S90pyload.sh change the Path to your Pyload-Installation(with vi!).

Chapter 3 - Alternative Configfolder

Create a new Folder for your future Config, for Example ”/mnt/disk1/optware/.pyload/”

Copy the Content of ”/root/.pyload/” to your new Folder.

Change to Folder ”/mnt/…/pyload/module/config/”.

Type into Console:

Now type in the new Cofigfolder /mnt/disk1/optware/.pyload/ and save.
