I haven't yet finished it.
I am just posting my own dctcs.conf since it might help a mate here along with a brief explanation of the most lines in it.

The guide will come later today or tomorrow. I have to do some research on some lines before i go on with it.


Code:
#sample config file

#change these according to your system
torrent-directory=/harddisk/volume_3/data/ctorrent/Temp/             [B][COLOR="Red"]Temporary Directory[/COLOR][/B]
download-directory=/harddisk/volume_3/data/ctorrent/                 [B][COLOR="Red"] Finished Downloads Directory[/COLOR][/B]

I had a small problem forwarding the web interface. On the default dctcs.conf file there is a line commented with # that suggest you how to mark the port that dctcs will use. it was something like
#port=8000
As long as that commented port was there i couldn't reach my web interface. This is what i almost had till i figure it out
#port=8000
port=12124

By just deleting the # marked line my web interface worked like it should

Hope that helps for start

Keep in mind that i am not a torrent fun and the ratio thing is not something i know how to adjust.
Anyway....
Keeping the default lines for the ports (those with # in front of them) and writing under them does not work since it seems that dctcs and ctorrent uses the default ones that are with the # in front. So either delete the # symbol or completely replace them and delete the default ones.

Believe me it will work like that i just don't have the experience to say more.

I will fix this guide so that even people without console knowledge can do it. But not today.......i do have a lot of work to do right now.
 
how many concurrent downloads you use to have? Until now I only managed to download 1 torrent successfully... normally the nas just stalls and i've to do a hard shutdown...

and again for whom says i've my ctorrent unconfigured... i've always had ctorrent configured and i've already tried that config above... it just won't work...:/

and i've no other services running (from ufs200)
