Your old NAS is much slower than your PC.  I don't know of any way to speed up your torrent add-ons.

Hi Stephen,

 

thanks for the answer, you mean that could be an HW limit of the NAS?

 

2mb/sec is not a very high speed, i can transfer file from the PC to the NAS at very high speed, so i have some doubt on the possibility of an HW limit.

    Yes I do.  Your ReadyNAS uses very old and (by modern standards) slow sparc processor and has limited memory as well.  There are several (mostly old) threads commenting on the poor speeds with transmission and bittorrent.

     

    CIFS (and AFP) don't load the CPU of the NAS nearly as much as the torrent app does.  Even there, a new entry level NAS has 3x the speed of the Duo v1.
