does the download manager 2.2 allows download queue whereby u can upload few torrents/HTTP/FTP task and let it run simultaneously or one-by-one

higher clock speed contributes to high file transfer speed according to various reviews 
will be more beneficial if handle multiple tasks at a single time e.g. downloading/HD video streaming/FTPing etc

Wow... What a coincidence... this thread comes back alive just before the PC fair.. and when I am considering buying a NAS.

I need help. Looking for a NAS server for the following purposes.
i) I'm interested in installing my home with IP/Network cameras (I know it is more expensive than the analog CCTV cameras, but I'm expecting a new kid and since both my wife and I are working, will have to leave baby at home with maid- Wife works 5mins away from home- Need to have the peace of mind doing so.) Looking for a PTZ IP camera with 2-way voice capabilities to complement the NAS.

ii) As a storage for BD movies (which I can back-up and play on my media player) since each BD movie is about 20-40GB in size I better get alot of space - hence considering NAS with 4-bays and loads of disk space. I don't intend to use it for back-up (running it in Raid 0/JBOD)

iii) As a torrent download machine. to download nice HD TV programmes..

The planned setup would be to connect the NAS to a router. I know probably wrong forum, but can anyone also suggest a wireless router? I intend to connect the NAS and Media player to the router wired and wireless to my PC/laptop.

Can anyone please give me advise on which brand/model you think will best suit my purpose? I'm considering QNAP, Synology and Thecus, but am open to any other suggestion. Also am open to advise if you think the set-up above won't work well. Fingers crossed there will be a sale for NAS during the PC fair.

any custom built NAS server here? (OpenNas, FreeNAS).  Any tips, advantages. 

Or is it better to build a dedicated server running linux or freeBSD, compare to NAS only function.

Recommend pls.

To download (Direct Link, Torrent & etc)

If there is a link w/ password protected in order to download, will the device support?

Thanks.

If not mistaken RS and MU can DL using password and username. There is others type DL also. Emule, netbiz etc.

Ermm. How bout normal download (DLNext)?
The files are protected w password in order to download from the server. Is it work the same as RS & MU?

I think before. But the power consumption is killing me. So scrap my project and get the synoloy NAS.

beside power consumption, is there any cost advantage by using custom built NAS?  I think there are intel low power platform floating around in the market.

Yes. as many as you want. All this can be setup. I set it to 20 torrent and let it Q run itself. If you have over 20 torrent, others will be Q up till it have empty slot. 
Let say current 500mhz cpu speed can transfer 100m/s. But can I transfer 200m/s if I using 1G cpu? But the bottle neck of the lan is 100m/s? Need less to say over the internet.

Synology and Qnap is the answer for your solution. Get the one that many people use and alot selling here. Otherwise you have difficult get help.

The NAS  can't connect thru wifi. You can connect to wifi router with lan line. My setup is in this way. But no point if you connect wifi since the speed is slow. Somemore BD file.

You don't need till 4bay if your budget limit. Get two bay with external HDD later.

Thanks. you're right. planned to connect the NAS to the router physically. I'll also have to connect my media player physically to the router (I think this would be the fastest connection). The wireless router is so that I can connect to the internet with my PC/Laptop which will be in a different room. NAS/Router/Media player will be in the living room next to the AV Receiver and TV. So a quieter NAS would also be an advantage.

Hmm... yeah, maybe two bay (hot swappable) will do it for me. But the problem is at the moment, I have external hard drives all over the place... A mess of wires at the back..

Any suggestion which model? and does anyone know if there will be promo for NAS during the PC Fair?

Does everyone here use their NAS here for Torrents, or for work purposes...? You know the home office thing...

yoz.. ds110j is here.. available @ czone now.. rm599

here is some shot:

Nice u got there, i wonder how much for the 2 bay disk ya....

How come D-Link is the cheaper price ??
Anyone can explain the difference for this from hardware and features spec ?

and synology got:
SYNOLOGY DS-209J
SYNOLOGY DS-209
SYNOLOGY DS-209 - II

Well......
Start to confuse me....

But if I calculate the price, seems now Synology has too far price than WD MyWorld II ( with 2 disk 2TB costly rough 1300 ).
