hello - after last firmware update to wd ex2ultra 5.31.108 i have a big problem with transmission client - i cant add .torrent file bigger than 100KB … after i try add it i have recive this message:
Connection Failed
Could not connect to the server. You may need to reload the page to reconnect.
I have this issue as well. Luckily I was able to find alternative torrent, that was below 100kb, as a workaround.
In general, knowing that its torrent size limit is helpful, but I hope this will be resolved quickly.
downgrade to 5.30.103 and disconnect auto upgrade. Download the previous firmware for your equipment switch off auto update, take the firmware file and press update…solved my problem of the new firmware problems..and for me, wd is just a remember, my new NAS will be qnap o synology. Having this kind of problems and tell everybody “try recover” risking loose everything is irresponsible and mean-spirited
The risk of downgrade is high, the solution helps, but it only proves that the new system version or patch is not "finished", it would be nice if WD fixed it and didn't make you wait any longer for home-made solutions...
I have found the fix. The configuration that sets the body size limit in the POST (that delivers torrent to Transmission) is in /usr/local/apache2/conf/modsecurity/modsecurity.conf and is set to 128KiB
This is the line 62 in this file that by default looks like below:
SecRequestBodyNoFilesLimit 131072
I have set the value to 262144 that is good for my torrents so far.
Remember that this file is rewritten during the reboot from the read-only copy /usr/local/modules/apache2/conf/modsecurity/modsecurity.conf
So after each reboot of MyCloud you will need to modify the file /usr/local/apache2/conf/modsecurity/modsecurity.conf again.
