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...
The router is a Belkin F5D9630-4 running firmware version 3.00.15
I appreciate what you are saying and granted my router is not enterprise class by any stretch.
However, I have a couple of PC's, smartphones, and a PS3 running through the router that do not get affected when the NAS crashes.
I have also run BitTorrent clients on my PCs in the past downloading far more than I do on the NAS without issue.
I would assume that if the issue was with the router itself then a reboot of the router would resolve the issue?... it doesn't.
The lights on the NAS stay illuminated and the LCD panel occasionally lights up and then goes dark, there is no sign of the disk activity light.
If I unplug the network cable the LCD panel illuminates and informs me that there is "No network link"
Is there any way that I can troubleshoot this better? Are there any log files or internal monitoring tools that I can use? (that will remain after a hard reset)
My NAS is over 2yrs old now and I have had this issue for as long as I can remember.
I thought that it might be a memory issue so upgraded to a 1GB stick (on the HCL) but no joy.
I even uninstalled all of the other add-ins in case it was related to something I installed, but still the issue persists.
I haven't spoken to tech support about this, do you think they could assist better?
