[ASUS RT-N14U] Unable to add torrent files in ASUS Download Master

likey they have stopped supporting the feature as it can be used for piracy. better you get a dedicated torrent client.

I agree... a lot of us are facing the same issue and have been contacting the ASUS Support in our country but we are yet to hear back with a resolution from them. I honestly doubt that they can stop this feature as it has been advertised and if they do, they will be in trouble for not providing as advertised.

Please follow the links below and post your concern -

I have also created a small Video showing the issue which I have sent to ASUS. Please do comment on it as well.


Let's keep each other informed if we hear back with a resolution.

I bought ASUS RT-N14U 2 months ago but download master is not at all working. Also, got a replacement but still facing the same problem. Please help as you are already using this and aware of problems. You can provide me your contact number and email address, if possible so that I can get in touch with you.

You really should create your own thread but the answer is in this one so why did you not just load the same firmware version that is reported to have corrected the issue.

My apologies for not creating a new thread but I did this because I am new to this and frustrated by not finding a solution. I saw your thread and seems that you have a knowledge on this and you are using it. Sorry, once again. I read your thread and already tried that firmware but I am still facing the same problem. Please help.

I'm a highly disappointed ASUS fan with a brand new RT-AC68U router.
H/W Ver: A1
MFG YEAR: 2014
The Firmware Version :3.0.0.4.376_1663 (newest F/W 28,55 (MBytes) 2014.07.18 update )
Download Master Version : 3.1.0.88 (latest available)
HDD : WD Elements 1TB (never used, brand new)

After 2 days of the initial setup, I really can say that the horror stories seems to be true
I'm highly disappointed... Can't believe that this router is ASUS branded ?!?

The 1st point of this $215 purchase was using the "Download Master" with a higher spec router. But it seems it is a complete fiasco !

Download Master is a very faulty / buggy program. It "always" stucks, freezes what ever your load is.
Tried to download 4 files as recommended by Asus & it got stuck after a while.
Tried to download more than 4 files & it got stuck after a shorter while...

There are lot's of people complaining on the forums, trying to find a solution.
As most of the users already experienced about this stucking, freezing issue, I really wonder if there is anything to be done to make this sh*t work as it is supposed to be ???

When it get stucks, the HDD activation light stops blinking but the menu is reachable. There is no downloading activity but internet is reachable, I can surf the web. But the download master says it is downloading which is a complete bullsh*t.
Also none of the functions (resume, pause, remove etc at the top menu) work in the download master.

I can even reach the modem by the android app & see them as the files were downloading but it is not. they are all stuck, freeze.

The only cure that I can find is to reboot the router, virtually unplug the HDD by the GUI functions, re-mount the HDD and disable-enable the download master utility. So that it can work for a couple hours more...

And while the download master was working by chance, I can feel that my internet connection was sucked dry, occupying the whole bandwidth, super slow response & pings... I can't even surf the web but the download master is using only %10 speed of my DSL connection although there is no limitations ?!?

I'm an old eMule fan, which I've used for years & I know what I'm saying.
This utility acts like in the early days of eMule & other P2P programs...

- Weird behavior after some time! (the tasks, downloading files appear & disappear on the main screen. It is definitely NOT stable)

- Unstable RAM and CPU usage (RAM usage go between 50-230mb about %90 of 250mb and then suddenly it drops... then slowly, slowly rises again. CPU usage is weird too. 1st core runs more, goes from %10 up to %80 but the 2nd core is between %1 to %20)

- Loves to freeze, get stuck and needs to be rebooted in every 2-3hours again in order to make this damn thing work.

What's going on ASUS?
How did you manufacture a $215 sh*t like this ?
Any ideas of the problem ?

PS: I've posted a thread too... but it seems no one knows any solutions !

I may have found a solution to this problem.

I had the same issue with Download Master unable to download things with BitTorrent, both torrent files and magnet links. Everything I added just disappeared from the list after 10 secs.

After I formatted my harddrive from NTFS and ext3, it is downloading now.

I didn't update or change the firmware between the formatting, so I guess ext3 is your answer

And I have the same problem
I do not know what to do
