For those that missed out last time, Ive spotted more Linkstation Lives on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Buffalo-LinkStation-500GB-External-Network-Hard-Drive-/200489828808?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Computing_HardDrives_RL&hash=item2eae2001c8

More up to date than the previous offer, and a little more expensive, at £59.99


Again, for those that dont know about these boxes, they are easy to hack, I have 3, and currently they are used for...

Twonky Media Server
Bit-Torrent Media Server
NZBGet Server With Webaccess
FTP Server/Client
Backup from drive to drive

Theyll do more, if you can be bothered.

How easy did you find it getting NZBGet up and running ?

It was quite straight forward.  I failed completely with Sab though.

I followed these instructions :

QuoteAssuming youre using an ARM9 LinkStation (Linkstation Pro and original Linkstation Live)

1. Open and bootstrap your LS: Instructions

Note that the bootstrap script version changes occasionally, so currently the script is at:

Code Select Expand

http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs05q3armel/cross/stable/lspro-bootstrap_1.2-7_arm.xsh

-- amend the instructions in step 1. accordingly.

2. Enable telnet, as described. Telnet in to the LinkStation and type the following:

Code Select Expand

ipkg update
ipkg upgrade
ipkg install nzbget

You may need to ipkg install unrar or other dependencies.

3. Download nzbgetweb and put it in /opt/share/www/nzbgetweb/ . Current version: here

4. Go to http://linkstation_ip_address:8081/nzbgetweb/
and configure nzbget completely from the web interface -- add your news server etc.

I havent managed to get a working postprocessing script though.

Oh yeah, and Lighttpd is really flakey, itll serve a couple of pages then die.

On Linkstations it needs server.event-handler = "poll" in /opt/etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

Mines been rock solid since.

Okey dokey, will give that a go on my current one and if it works I might get another
