BT 'Home Hub'?
If you use Opera browser then you can use that for downloading P2P files just like any other download, okay it isn't as fast as something like Azureus but it works. If like me your browser is on 24/7 then you will get the file, albeit maybe slowly.studioeng wrote:Did a quick search some P2P torrent sites, but found nothing... Without installing some god forsaken P2P client... I think that option is out.

Thats not what I meant
I use TorrentFlux on a *nix server for my P2P downloading, so that's not really an issue.
The thing I was refering to was, with clients like Shareaza, Azureus and (god forbid) Kazaa... They have their own built in search facility which can produce a few more results than a torrent site can... although there is more chance of getting viruses with the above mentioned clients.
So unless someone can search and pass the torrent my way, I cant see that as an option personally.

I know what you mean about breaking routers, I've had to USB repair my Origo more times than I care to remember.
Let us know all about the home hub. Perhaps you would be willing to write a review for us with screen shots etc. to help the forum users?

Well, I'm pleased to announce that I tock receipt of my long await BT Home Hub today.
I can't say that I've hacked/unlocked it yet, but I've managed to get it working behind my existing SWAMR router. So I am currently using it as an Access Point. My next plan is to play with the VoIP/SIP functions.
I have got access to the Home Hub via telnet, and also found that you can access a 'menu' where you can browse as aposed to the CLI. Some interesting stuff can be found in the 'env' section
I will post some screenies when I get the chance.
Progress on other sites with unlocking the Home Hub seem to be very slow at the moment, hopefully I will be able to get somewhere with it.
P.S. Since this topic seems to be picking up steam, any chance it could be moved to 'Technical', or elsewhere so users posts count and not wasted or shall I start a new thread with more info?

I presume that you're not expecting to be able to play with the VOIP until after you've cracked the HUB.....studioeng wrote:........

Thank you kindly Kieran
I will install FreePBX server over the weekend and see if I can establish a SIP connection to it via the Home Hub.
On another note:
I performed a port scan on the Home Hub; these ports are open:
Username: admin
Password: admin
(both are case sensitive)
FTP via 'cmd' gives limited access, 'ls' command doesnt show any files, only displays 'access denied' yet you can 'cd' into the usual folders; some you can list, others you cannot... mostly seems to be a non-readable filesystem. Using an FTP client gives the same results
After you log into Telnet, you can enter 'menu' which brings up a semi-user friendly system menu.
I found it odd that the PPTP port is open, unknown if it is a server or a client. I tried to connect to it, but no connection could be established... Maybe this is a way the firmware is upgraded remotely?!
When I try to connect to the 51005 port (with a browser); I get a login prompt with this:
Well that all depends if I can find a way to adjust the route/gateway that the router uses; will this always be locked to the WAN side, or is it possible to redirect to LAN->LAN??Shotokan101 wrote:I presume that you're not expecting to be able to play with the VOIP until after you've cracked the HUB.....
