    yes, here it goes the ZYPKGS file content:

    Package: MetaRepositoryVersion: 20181001zypkg015Description: MetaRepository for zypkgs.Depends: Size: 184320Installed-Size: 491520Architecture: armZy-Model: allIsBuiltin: NFilename: MetaRepository_20181001_arm_015.zpkgMD5SUM: 62687de76004443c3f498ae0b4cbc154

    There are no other files/folders in     \admin\zy-pkgs\ , I've erased everything, i don't have a MetaRepository folder

    OK, that ZYPKGS file is expected, that is the file downloaded from diskstation.eu. 
    i've put the web_prefix file in \admin\zy-pkgs folder and deleted the rest of the files. Now the ZYPKGS that appears is dated from 2018, but the applications tab is empty.

    Applications tab is packages tab, I guess? As far as I remember it shouldn't be empty. It should show all installed packages, together with MetaRepository, as possible install.

    I've never seen the "Retrieve List From Internet" greyed out, but I know that could happen on the Medion ST212 (same firmware family, roughly v3.x), and I *think* then the package manager crashed when trying to populate the packages tab.

    Which means the internal package database is probably broken. Do you have any packages installed? Do you mind loosing them?

    My next attempt would be to remove the web_prefix, rename /i-data/md0/.system/zy-pkgs/zypkg_conf, and reboot the box. The package manager should start over without database. Try to install some stock package (the ssh package is extremely handy), check if a new zypkg_conf is created, and if it looks healthy. Reboot the box to see if the package is still installed, and if everything is OK, try the web_prefix again.

    Yes, the applications tab is the packages tab, you're right, but inside everything is gone and even the "Retrieve list from Internet" green button is grayed out.

    Nop, not at all, as long as my data stays in the HDD everything is fine for me, I'll just need to install the applications again, no problem

    Well, done all that, everything was looking good and applied the web_prefix file again, installed the new Metarepository and now I have several apps available including info about the source (Repo: ZyXEL) and (Repo: Mijzelf)

    I think its all done, at least for me it was a real struggle :)

    Thank you so much for guiding me untying this thing up, I would not able to do it alone, I'm really sure about that! 

    I Have another issue but I'll open another topic for that one. Thank you again!

    There should be a logfile in \\admin\zy-pkgs\MetaRepository\ which tells why it doesn't work.

    Right.

    You can see here that MR tries to fetch ZYPKG_INFO files from 3 sources. As expected. You can see that task 7 and 8 finish, but 9 (ftp2.zyxel.com) doesn't.

    Normally, when all tasks are finished, this log is supplemented with info about merging of the collected ZYPKG_INFO files. This part lacks.

    I tried to manually connect to ftp2.zyxel.com, and it timed out in 5 minutes. The MR script runs within a webserver task which tries to generate an answer to a request of the package manager. I suppose the package manager didn't wait 5 minutes for an answer and cancelled the request, causing the running MR script to be killed.

    Apparently, ZyXEL has shutdown their server. Well, there was no more '325 data on it anymore. So the remedy is to remove the ftp2.zyxel.com line from the config.

    Is there also some chance to install transmission?

    I cannot find it in the packages.

    Therefore you have to add the

    http://zyxel.ddnss.eu/Users/Mijzelf/zypkg-repo/fw4_stock_packages/

    repo.
