Unfortunately no one can be told what fun_plug is - you have to see it for yourself.

firmware was 2.00 when i go this thing out of the box about a week ago.
I went ahead and upgraded firmware from dlink's website. "upgraded" isn't really accurate. The firmware was 2.0 already; but the build date on the firmware on dlink's site was 5 months later than what was on here.. so i thought I would give it a shot.
I was able to use the fun_plug hack and get telnet access.
My problem is that connecting over T100 i am only getting 3.2~ (pretty consistent) speeds both up and down.
EVERYONE seems to be getting 12-17 or so.. sometimes above 20.
Both my laptop and the device are plugged into a gigabit router; though this little shabby netbook only does 100Mbit.
I have tried from a macbook pro though as well with similar results.
Any ideas on how to speed this little bugger up?

I am also having the same problem. I'm not sure if its a hard drive issue though, as I've tried copying from one internal drive to another and still only get about 5 MB/s

First, and you probably know this but I'll say it anyways - the router, computer, and server all have to be 1000 Mbit capable in order to get any speed over 100 Mbps (or 12.5 MB/s). As in chemical and physical reactions, the slowest process is rate-limiting. So obviously the first thing to do is ensure all components are connected gbit.
Next, I have found that running processes - even ones using very little CPU or RAM - have a drastic effect on performance. The only services I have in addition to the default services are Transmission, Automatic, and Mediatomb. When all services are stopped, and everything is connected via gbit, I see write speeds of around 10-12 MB/s. Stopping these three services boosts write speeds up to about 25 MB/s, and read speeds are between 35-40 MB/s. So try stopping any extra (fun_plug) services and see if your speeds change.
Any 3.5" SATA hard drive should easily be able to go above 20 MB/s, so I don't think the hard drive is the problem.
