Torrent downloads crash device
Hello, I have a Readynas Duo with a 1TB samsung spinpoint drive. Modem/Router is Netgear DG834GT with DGTeam firmware version 848 When downloading a torrent my nas regularly hangs. This can hap...
OK so an updated firmware has arrived for the NV+ and I was very excited to see if anything had been done that might address the issues with the Bittorrent service crashing my NAS.
Sadly no.
I added a torrent to the Bittorrent client and within 5 minutes I was having to physically power-cycle my device over and over trying desperately to log into Frontview and disable the Bittorrent add-in before my NAS stopped responding and dropped off the network.
Seriously guys this is well beyond annoying now. I have gone through numerous firmware updates and posted about this issue so many times (and seen many other posts describing the same issue) are you simply turning a blind eye to this in the hope that it will just go away?
Is this issue one that you deem unworthy of your attention?
If this issue cannot be resolved then perhaps Netgear might want to think about removing the Bittorrent functionality altogether?
As you can no doubt tell from this post I am at the end of my tether with this.
Will Netgear accept the return of my NV+ on the basis that this advertised feature simply doesn't work?
Sadly no.
