Transmission 2.42 Performance Problem

If your router does not forward the right port to your NAS, you can not get new incoming connections. So, for as long as you are asking the tracker for new peers, you can download fast and you will upload to the peers that you are downloading from. However, incoming connections get blocked, so others will not connect to you. Eventually, this reduces the amount of peers you are connected to and with that, your download and upload speed.
You can check if you are forwarding the right port by going to the webinterface of Transmission and look at the Network-tab of the preference window. It should state if the port you've set is open or not. If your router supports upnp (and has it turned on), you can enable the option "use port forwarding from my router" to automatically forward the right port at startup.
