Torrents

The nice thing about routers running OpenWRT is the fact that you can run all kinds of software on the router. I used to run ctorrent on White Russian so I tried to instal l it on kamikaze as well.

Installation went smoothly, but the command ctorrent resulted in a "Bus error". It looked like libcrypto was to blame judging the output of the strace command.

To solve this I added another package repository at the top of /etc/ipkg.conf

src RC http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/8.09_RC1/brcm-2.4/packages/

So using the packages from the next release. The ctorrent package from this repository installs and runs fine on my kamikaze 7.09
