enh..... Synology and QNAP is testing the 1.5TB now... should take some time to certify...
but some Synology user claim that it work with 1.5TB, Seagate ST31500341AS ,1500TB, SATA II 

http://www.synology.com/wiki/index.php/Use...ble_Hard_Drives

I believe the new model of Synology/QNAP NAS will be able to support.

model like:
Synology
DS-508, RS408/DS408

QNAP
TS409/509 series....

anyway, once the disk is tested and working fine, than we can post here...

depends on ur torent file and ur house line speed one

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% )

one 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
3) user ID: abc password :abc
4) user ID :admin password: admin

if you had jump out from the page that's mean others user using the same ID to login.... as this is a demo s

Hi,

I just follow NAS Thread here and its nice...
I've planned to buy NAS for home user.

Basicaly I need NAS to connect to my iMac and PC both, and use for media streaming, and if possible the usb also can use as print server.
Is there any recomendation which Nas Product is good both in performance and featured ?

I saw this thread mostly use Synology, Qnap and Dlink.

Right now I need 2TB disk and I just abit confused with WD MyBook World II and Dlink.

Thanks.

Great choice. Synology is a great product if $$$ is not the constraint.

So.. If the question came to Synology or D-link, what should be more good ?

so this nas thing..is it good for 24/7 dloding from RS and MU..most important is power usage compared to atom pc..

i still dun have atom pc...but seriously considering it for downloading machine and also as media storage..and i thought NAS might be other alternative..

As for RS and MU..i'm also a free user..but i'm using some software to arrange all the downloads to be completely auto..dont mind the waiting too..so i need low power 24/7 downloading machine.

also wondering if the OS compatible with windows application.

Hi Mr. Ozak, thanks for ur recommendations...
I think I've planned to buy it on PC fair next month... Btw, I need 2 bay Disc for this, how much is the current price right now ?
or is there any reseller or distributor to sell this product in Malaysia ? Which store has a good price for this ??

Thanks again

haha..seriously i'm a noob too when it comes to this server thing...i do want to have that kind of setup-awesomeness-..but pity since i can't automated my download on NAS as a free user..not really interested paying premium yet on RS/MU..i really don't mind waiting but i really mind the bills though...decision, decision..

Seems like a hot topic here. I'm interested with this thingy. Anyone can explain to me pls? Coz my connection is super slow.. I dunno why. It's 1Mb but my downloads max can go till 30+kb only.. So this thingy sounds interesting to boost my download speed.

Appreciate you guys effort if willing to explain to me. I'm a noob in computer thingy.

Thanks in advanced~

Upgrade bandwidth is always the same. The connection is forever slow and fyi i'm from Labuan. There's no other isp other than TMNut. gggrrrr.. So unfair, WM has a lot of choices! hmmm

Any pros & cons between DLink DNS-323 & Linksys NMH300?

Thanks

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.

@ ozak
To download (Direct Link, Torrent & etc)

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

Thanks.

-pWs-

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?

-pWs-

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.

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?
