The Buffalo Linkstation Pro Duo is a $200 1TB NAS that supports RAID 0 and RAID 1. It runs Linux and comes installed with Twonkymedia (DLNA media server), mt-daapd (iTunes media server), and RAID backup server.

I had grander plans for it; to run it as a 24-7 NAS, Media Server, and torrent client. There’s actually a very active community around NAS support since they mostly run Linux. Remember to BACKUP and try at your own risk!

  1. Get shell(telnet) access to NAS with acp commander

  2. Install Ipkg on the Linkstation

  3. Install all neccessary packages (Transmission did not work for me)
    />ipkg install rtorrent
  4. Get a RSS feed reader

  5. Thats it, pretty simple most of the work was finding/sorting the information. Enjoy!
