So Transmission P2P does not start after NETGEAR ReadyNAS RAIDiator 4.1.8 upgrade?

 

I’ve heard this a few times now since it first happened to me last week. I have since then found time to run through my install guide and that has and that has patched the issues. I guess the upgrade must have overwritten an important file. Anyway, seeing as I took the screenshots whilst repairing it I thought I would share with you the whole process so you can follow it step by step if you need.

 

1. Select Services > Installed Add-ons from the left menu in the ReadyNAS admin webpage

 

2. Untick transmission P2P Client to disable the Transmission P2P Client

 

NOTE: This caused my ReadyNAS admin page to freeze so I hit refresh and Went back to Services > Installed Add-ons, you may just need to click OK when it confirms being stopped.

 

3. Now remove the add-in by clicking Remove

 

4. Click OK to remove

 

5. Click OK on confirmation pop-up

 

6. Open System > Updates from the left hand menu

 

7. Select Local

 

8. Click Choose File
