DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

Hi all

I have a 10/100 home network with a few pc's on Windows XP and a DNS-323 (v1.05) connected via a Netgear DG-834G router. I use one PC to run uTorrent, downloading directly to the DNS-323, and this has worked well for the last 11 months with several simultaneous downloads via ADSL2+.

However several days ago I applied Service Pack 3 to the PC, and upgraded the router firmware, and now I keep getting torrent errors that require the torrent to be rechecked. Usually the checking fails with an error:  the i/o operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request. The NAS network activity light initially flashes quite fast with the disc light flashing slowly, but after a while activity seems to stop, unless I begin browsing through Windows Explorer. Browsing the NAS through windows explorer also seems to be slower.

I have reset configiguration to factory defaults, rebooted but no improvement. Also tried disabling power management on the DNS-323.
I also tried running uTorrent on a (different) XP SP2 PC (downloading to the NAS), but got the same results.

I have now tried doing a copy from one of the NAS disks to a USB attached disk, but that failed after about 20-30 minutes with a message that "the specified network name is no longer available"
EDIT: A second attempt produced the error: the i/o operation has been aborted because of either a thread exit or an application request

Does anyone have any ideas on what may be wrong, or where to do further diagnosis?
