RN-104 speed issue with BT downloading in Transmission
Hello Everybody,
I got an old RN-104 running the latest firmware (6.10.3) with two HDD in XRaid.
The unit is connected to the router with 1Gbe link. The Internet connection is 500Mbit/10Mbit Cable.
On that NAS I have Transmission NT version 2.92-nt2 installed.
When I test the speed with IPERF3 to the NAS from another 1Gbe computer the speed is good (945Mbps). When I test NAS speed with Nas Test (testing the read/write speeds of the HDDs) I get also normal speeds of 30-40 MBps (that Bytes).
However, with torresnt downloads I get to satuation at arround 10 MBps (give or take). I tried downloading the same torrents on a computer and has no problem getting to 35-45 MBps so the Internet does work well and the router can handle it (RT-AC87U). One thing I noticed is that with Torrents running the CPU usage of the NAS is at 100%. I guess the speed limit comes from the CPU being overloaded. Is ther any solution to that? Maybe more effecient clients for the Readynas or maybe there is a bug?

No lighter clients exist? Does it make sence at all to run BT client on the NAS and not on a seperate machine? Maybe I should get RPi 4 and use it only for client?
