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.

- Something else i thought of make sure you have encryption enabled in transmission, because if its not that would enable your isp to throttle your downloads and enable DHT and peer exchange (PEX), because using uTorrent in windows that may allready be enabled and could explain the differance worth a try.
- It could also be the trackers your torrents are using. Some prefer certain clients. They may be favoring uTorrent on the PC, but not liking Transmission.
- Encryption, DHT & PEX were enabled already. I have tried using several different versions of Transmission and I get the same error with all of them. I have now reinstalled v2.31 and I have tried several different torrents incase it could be the tracker problem as mentioned above and I out of 9 different torrents I got the same error ("Tracker returned an error: Connection Failed") although one of them did show this error but then started to download at around 600kb/s got to around 2% and then stopped and has not started again.
