No that doesn't work. The nas doesn't show up in raidar, and I can't ping it either (nas has a static ip address). To be honest I'd given up using it for downloading torrents which is pretty frustrating as thats one of the reasons I bought it.
i did think that the number of connections could be an issue. Thats why I installed Transmission as it has the ability to modify the number of connections, but these are set to a pretty small number by default.
I'll set something downloading tonight and see if anything shows up in the logs..
Incidentally, this happens on firmware 4.1.4 T70 and 4.1.5
