For those who’s following WD My Cloud‘s post, a new APP has been added to the installer, Transmission v3.00 for firmware V4. Transmission has the features you want from a BitTorrent client: encryption, a web interface, peer exchange, magnet links, DHT, uTP, UPnP and NAT-PMP port forwarding, webseed support, watch directories, tracker editing, global and per-torrent speed limits, and more.
Please note that my WDMyCloud NAS has been dismantled and decommissioned due to many bad sectors thus I could not test out the app thoroughly. I’m also no long active in the WD forum so if there’s any issues please post it here.
Note that if you’re unsure about Linux file permissions and such, please download all torrents into /root/Downloads which has been symlinked to /shares/Public/Transmission/Downloads for easy access from Windows/Mac. If you change the download location, you’ll have to manually apply the appropriate ownership and permissions.
WDMyCloud is not powerful enough to do heavy torrenting. To prevent WDMyCloud hanging, limit your connections i.e. 50 and downloads to only one at a time while queueing the rest.
And most IMPORTANTLY ensure you DO NOT download torrents into the 2GB rootfs partition ‘/’ or you will have system issues when the rootfs gets full.
As promised, my donors will get the priority to install my newer builds. I will post a new comment when it’s released to the public to be used with the anonymous credentials. Donors with donation credentials, please use this installer code on your WDMyCloud:
curl teanazar.com/installer.fcgi?transmission_3.00-1|sh;
For setups and details, refer to https://www.transmissionbt.com/. For backup & restore before you upgrade or themes installation, refer to my old post at the WD forum.

Hi Nazar,
Trying to download Transmission v3 to my WD but I get this:
Error-10: Unable to retrieve required files!
Can you check my credentials, please?
Thanks,
Zsolt
Hi Zsolt,
I’ve updated your IP, please retry.
Hi Nazar,
It’s not working. Got the same error.
Regards,
Zsolt
Would it be the problem that I swapped the WD board? There was a hardware issue with the previous one.
Thanks,
Zsolt
Your IP changed too frequently. I did some changes. Can you try again?
Now it worked flawless 🙂
Thank you very much,
Zsolt
No problem, enjoy!
Hi Nazar,
I can’t download files using my old donated ID. Can you update my access?
Hi Stanislav,
I’ve updated your records, please retry.
Hi Nazar,
But I can’t install
“Error-10: Unable to retrieve required files! As promised to my donors, they will be the first to receive newer builds. Retry using the permanent donation credentials from your DonationID if you have or wait till it’s released to the public in next few days.”
Hi Stanislav,
I’ve checked your records and its valid. You need to use the donation credentials. Refer back to the automated email that you received previously from this site. It contains the credentials and how to use it.
