Hmmm dns323 is also a 2 bay solution. So it depends on your drives, also using raid 1 versus raid 0.
raid 5 in readnyas allow for stripping& redundancy. It also means you have more throughput as you can write to 3 different sata hds (physically, [possibly one literal partition]).
I have fios I've seen it go to a 1-2 /2 or 3 megs upload but I don't really do it much.
Also having 1gig of ram will help(I upgraded mine). The dns323 may not have that much spare overhead which could slow the speed. Are you running it torrent client directly on that the nas box or are you simply despositing on the files on it.
The write caching features can slow this as well, as can other things.
