ReadyNAS DUO Bit Torrent Poor download with new connection
Hi All,
Please help me before my NAS goes out the window! I have the Readynas DUO v2 which was plugged into the router from my previous service provider (SKY Broadband) and my internet connection speed was 2meg. I have the BIT Torrent client installed and use this for downloading from the internet; I have had no problems with speed in the past and on average I get around 300kb/s on downloads.
Today I have had a new internet service installed with VFAST and this is a wimax service with an antenna that has a CAT5e cable coming from it into a new router (Netgear WNDR4500). My new internet connection speed is 15meg. I have plugged my ReadyNas into this new router and tried different downloads but now I struggle to get a speed above 5kb/s.
I have tried different cables and 2 different routers (WNDR4500 & WGR614). All give the same result of slow download speeds. I have tried downloading torrent files to my PC directly with Utorrent and I have no issues with speed at all. I have tried connecting the ReadyNas to my existing sky router and it works like it did before but once I connect it to my new connection it struggles badly.
Thanks in advance and I appreciate all help.

- make sure you have enabled uPNP in transmission, and make sure its enabled in your router,
i have the exact same setup as you DUO v2 WNDR4500. - First off, quit making multiple threads (4) for the same thing, that will get you banned from the forums.
It is likely a port forwarding issue, so try checking UPnP like HERBIEO suggests. - I am not using Transmission, I am using the original Bittorrent client. UPnP is enabled on the router and readynas.
Only reason I posted on multiple threads is as you can see I am a new user and did not know where to post to. - You Are talking about downloading torrents with your NAS ?
Edit: are you sure you have a DUO v2 ? - Yes I am downloading torrents with my nas but I do not use transmission. Thanks
Model code on the bottom is ReadyNas DUO RND2000 v2 - Transmission is the only torrent addon that i am aware of for duo v2
what version of RAIDiator is installed on your Nas ? - RAIDiator 4.1.8
- Then you have Duo v1 you would have 5.3.x installed if you had a v2 see my post here.
http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=63921#p358178 - Ok read and understood just confusing when it states v2 on the bottom. So now that you know I have the v1 do you have any idea why my download speed would drop once I change the connection it uses.
- If you have a torrent going now go into genie dasboard on your router and check to see if upnp is opening the ports for incoming connections.
