I see no CPU usage and about 3Mb memory usage when it stays idle. It depends on individual preferences. If you use it regularly or remote control to it often, it’s best to leave it running without the hassle of starting and stopping every time. Clearing the finished torrents will just do fine.
Let me know if you need help with the script, I can do shell scripts but Perl is my strongest language.
But mine has ~6W idle when before I got ~4W power consuption.
Not sure is this is caused by new firmware (623 vs. 607) or transmission though.
All in all, I got ~13W downloading (with active torrents) which is very reasonable considering the disk size and processor power I have, more so because I download/upload everything at 5x the speed I did before.
My previous system power consuption was ~5-6W downloading and 2-3W idle.
No I haven’t upgraded to 4.01.00-408 yet (finding a good time to upgrade and restore all mods), but this guide should work with it as the firmware sticks to the 64K page size memory…
“should” is because I extracted the rootfs image from 4.01.00-408 and tested.
Installing the transmission deb from this guide again “should” not brick your wd my cloud as it’s only installing binaries not related to the system eg. libraries. How did you brick it?
Hi nazar does this still really work on the new firmware whats just been released … what it is am thinking about get the 4tb my cloud drive and a would love to use it as a torrent / seed box
Thanks verry much nazar how hard is it setup or is all automated after a paste the url and hit enter … and one more thing run torrents off it and seeding does slow the my cloud down or can u stream full bluray and download torrents at same time
