14.4 Using Torrent Client
The Popcorn Hour VTEN has a built in torrent client, called Transmission. You can use this torrent
client to download les rather than leave your computer on. To use the torrent client go into the
NMT Applications section of the Setup menu and start the service. Please note that the service
will remain on, even after a power cycle, until you go back and stop it.
IMPORTANT: The torrent client uses the formatted local storage to save your downloaded les.
Please make sure you have enough space for the download to complete.
Once the torrent service has been enabled on the Popcorn hour VTEN, you can use your
computer’s web browser to access the Torrent client interface. Type the following address in the
address bar of your web browser:
http://NMT-IP:8077/transmission/web
Where NMT-IP is the IP address or host name of your Popcorn Hour VTEN. For example:
192.168.1.101 or VTEN.
IMPORTANT: The computer or device you are using the web browser on must be on the same
network as the Popcorn Hour VTEN.
At the BitTorrent client GUI, click on Browse and select the torrent le.
Once the torrent le is selected, click on Upload to add the torrent le to the torrent list on your
Popcorn Hour VTEN. The torrent client will start to download the le(s).
Other settings are available through the web GUI such as the Scheduler which can be used to
schedule torrent downloads and set their upload/download limits.
IMPORTANT: The Popcorn Hour VTEN has to be switched ON and properly connected to the
internet during the scheduled download time in order for the BitTorrent client to
download the required les.
