I m using NAS DS107+. My download speed is worst. What can I do to speed up the download? The torrent I show you here, have been run for 1week. And it still at 48%


This post has been edited by ozak: Oct 31 2008, 12:36 PM

depends on ur torent file and ur house line speed one

I download halfway in Utorrent and transfer it to NAS synology download station and try. Compare to my PC download speed, the NAS download is damn slow.

Anyone try the Buffalo Linkstation Live with BT NAS ? I just bought 1 unit and BT speed seems to be very slow , download rate can only be describe with Bs instead of Kbs . Any solution ? and I'm d/l those latest movie , seed should not be a problem . With Xunlei I can get 150Kbs .

maybe now we should do some comparison on NAS, which one perform better when downloading torrent file in Malaysia (can bypass throttle)

Ok. pls try

1) use the latest firmware version : DSM 2.0-0722; Build Date: 2008/09/20
2) In download Station =>setting => set the BitTorrent Network Setting , BitTorrent protocol encryption: "Auto/Always "
3) use the default BT port range ( unless u know the actual port)
4) Enable DHT network ( this normally will increase 25% )

Added on November 1, 2008, 12:38 amone of the good buying point / value added to QNAP/Synology NAS is ,they will release new firmware with improved performance as well as new feature every 2~3 months.


so far, as what I know the first NAS come with BitTorrent protocol encryption: is QNAP TS-109 model. and than they apply to all the TS-109 , TS-209 series.. and also implement the DHT

and than Synology also implement this ...... (with new latest firmware upgrade for Synology :NEW Download Station 2: Supports two new download channels – eMule and NZB, and allows partial file download form BitTorrent.)


some idea of DHT info
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The Download Station enhancements include DHT support, 25% performance increase, BT encryption support, and flexible seeding rule settings. The download enhancements imply a shorter time needed to download the same files; this pushes the Green idea Synology has always kept in mind another step forward.

The DHT support allows trackerless torrents downloading. It means you do not need to connect to a tracker in order to download, but connect to a distributed DHT Network to find other peers. The upgraded Download Station also supports TCP trackers, UDP trackers, and Peer Exchange Protocol, all that are for increasing the ability to find more peers when downloading. In addition, flexible seeding options are also available in this release.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>




others NAS which offer BT just normal BT... wihtout BitTorrent protocol encryption:... and download speed is just less than 19Kb/s...


personally, I manage to get the max is 120KB/s, and some time 97KB/s or even 55KB/s..... refer to the manufacture explaining is the total speed will depands on your ISP line, how many BT server/PC holding/storing the file that u need to download, the more service/PC online with that particular file than your speed will fast..

so, if you monitoring closely, you can "SEE" the download speed up and down.... and don't forgot to leave the file open for sharing at least 1~2 hours... let others ppl to BT your file.... BT is mainly for sharing...

if you like to try,

for synology: port 5000
http://midi.serveftp.net:5000 ,

for QNAP : port 8080 ( only IE, user can use others port, but for this example, we use port 8080)
http://midi.serveftp.net:8080 ,

or for QNAP you can use the QGet this is free utility.
How to use QGet to manage the BT download of multiple QNAP NAS servers remotely


you can use :
1) user ID: midi password :midi
2) user ID: test password :test

Guess soon i'll be joining this legion.
Main priority is replace the use of usb external drive to NAS via wifi.
Currently still looking for the most power efficient setup between NAS enclosure or self built NAS

wanna ask here, if use qget remote control software, can i queue and instruct the NAS to download files from rapidshare or megaupload remotely? lets say that the NAS is at home while im at uni or 'balik kampung', is that possible? ive preferred dload using RS or MU rather than BT...

Remotely to download the file?

Yes. there is.

QNAP and Synology NAS can do this.

QNAP : admin user can do without using any others software,
QNAP demo link: ID/PAss: admin

QNAP also product MLDonkey (電子騾)How to Install & Run MLDonkey (EMule) via QPKG on the QNAP NAS
http://www.qnap.com/pro_features_QPKG.asp




QNAP also come with Qget How to use QGet to manage the BT download of multiple QNAP NAS servers remotely

QNAP user can use this Qget to control fews QNAP NAS all over the world... this mean, NAS can be at JB, Melake, PG, Sabah, Sarawak ,Singapore and others place as long as internet connected.

for Synology: they have Download station ( web base, come with synology NAS and FREE to use),

Synology admin as well as user to remotely to put the link. but now only admin can use the eMule and user only can use BT,

u can try this link: http://midi.serveftp.net:5000, user/pass: admin

if you know chinese, please see this link: Synology NAS DS207+ V.S PC µTorrent 下載速度PK賽

Thanks for your help. The setting you mention, I have done it early. The only different is the "Bittorrent protocol ecryption" was disable. I have found another way. To speed up the download, I ve to enable the DMZ in the router setting. But this would cause my NAS without a firewall protection. Here is the latest result. The speed is still about 30-40KB/s slow than the pc download speed.

so, which NAS u would recommend to me, if my main use is:

download from Rapidshare or Megaupload using premium account,
BT sometimes (encrypted?)
hav 2 bays,
and other standard features...

thx

I have a chat with denhock on the Synology DS-108J. The current Download Station 2.0 are not very user friendly with rapidshare/Megaupload Multiple links.
For RS, User need to input download link, username and password for every link. For a HD video that around 4.5GB which had 35-40 links (File split to 200mb max)...User need add manually 1 by 1...Very tedious task!

For RS user, we normally use IDM (Internet Download Manager) or other DM apps to add multiples links and few button clicks. IDM also support import txt file(that consist RS/Megaupload links)

But for BT, I think is not a big deal since it normally had single link url for whole content.

what kind of price im expected to fork out for these dual bays?
whats the power consumption like, and any cooling issues?

IINM the QNAP t209 is rm1599 and the price for DS207 is rm1499...
u can chek the price at http://www.midispecialist.com/

damn, its very expensive... wut abour QNAP ts101 (599) and DS108j (599)?
i know it has 1 bay only, but wut about other feature like encrypted BT and remote dload manager for RS and MU??

wut do u suggest? da cheaper one or the expensive one??

can nas server install a vpn service on it?

thanks bro
i shat bracks for a while there >_<

guess i need to research more on freeNAS alternative and such before taking a plunge into NAS

Traffic rate: 30cents (new rate)

For synology/QNAP power consumption is from 26w ( 1 bay) ~ 84.7w (5bays /HDD) ~ less than RM230.00 per year ( for 85W)

so is far far lower than if using normal PC :

for example:

1) with 250W PS : RM 657/ year

2) with 350W PS : RM 919/ year


3) with 450W PS : RM 1182/ year


4) with 550W PS : RM 1445/ year


so, if you use synology/QANP .. you can save more $$$

Added on November 4, 2008, 11:56 pmyes, encrypted BT for Synology only. for QNAP TS-101 , sorry, not yet enable this feature yet.
