Calculating network transfer speed?
What is the best way to calculate network transfer speed? Is there an app that does this?

Well I am coming from a QNAP TS410, with a slower processor, which is via my network at least 2 to 3 x faster.
This Readynas works OK, but its just so bloody slow. Really disappointing. Am not seeing speeds faster than 10MB/s up, 20MB/s down.
Typically on QNAP 18MB/s Up and 30-50MB/s down.
Have a robust network here, know what I am doing. Its just this device is not quick or even slightly asthmatic.
As I say this readynas is a good 130 quid cheaper than Qnap, so probably not a fair comparison but all you have to go on really is what the processor and ram? Well the processor on paper is faster in the readynas with the same ram. So I was expecting similar speeds.
