BikeHelmet, as you may have guessed, I'm not much into Linux, just never had the time or motivation to learn it. I do have various flavours of Ubuntu installed in VM's but I don't play with them much, unless I am using LinuxCNC (EMC2). It comes in handy for dry runs/testing of my G-Code, but other than that, I rarely use it.

Ahh well, don't bother then. It requires installing an addon before you can even connect. (SSH) To simply go look at top stats... not worth it.

I still wonder why I am not getting better upload speeds though. There does not appear to be any problems with my network or the attached hardware and yet I still see poor performance when uploading/downloading to this NAS.

Now that speeds are mostly fixed, have you tried directly connecting to the NAS?

There doesn't appear to be any problems with streaming though. I streamed two movies via DLNA, one to my LCD TV and the other to my PVR in the lounge room simultaneously and did not get a glitch on either. So I'm pretty happy about that.

Yeah, you need surprisingly little bandwidth to stream stuff. With my max speed at 35MB/sec I can do 17 SD video streams at once. (And that might be a CPU/videocard limit rather than NAS limit, since they drop frames rather than getting locked up; I tried playing them all on my PC. :P ) With about half that speed available, you can expect at least 4-8 streams (depending on bitrate) to work smoothly.
