What kind of transport speeds do you get transferring to / from the DNS-323? Mine is pretty slow...if it's not downloading any torrents, I will get maybe 5 MB/sec through 100mbps ethernet. Compared to what kind of speeds people get nowadays with external drives and such, that is just absurdly slow. Then if I have some torrents going that can drop by 50-70%. I'm thinking about getting rid of the thing based on this alone. I want to update my network to wireless N and get some better transfer speeds but I think the limitation is the 323. What kind of speeds are you all seeing?

This depends on a number of factors. Are both your source (computer?) and destination (DNS323) connected via LAN, or just the destination. I ask because you mentioned wireless N. Wireless G has a theoretical limit of 54 Mbps or 6.75 MB/s, so 5 MB/s over wireless G is excellent.
When looking at transfer rates, you have to look at the number of files being transferred and how much data is in each file. For instance, transferring a single file 10 GB in size will result in a significantly higher transfer rate than ten million 1 KB files. On my DNS-320 from gigabit LAN -> gigabit LAN (source -> destination) I get about 24.5 MB/s when transferring large files. I also transferred some pictures which was made up of 25 KB -> 5MB files (several thousand). The transfer rate was about 12 MB/s or slightly under half. When Transmission is maxing out speed (~1.7 MB/s on my internet connection) it uses about 40-50% CPU, and when I'm transferring files over SMB (via gigabit ethernet), the smb daemon uses about 90% CPU. Keep in mind that the DNS320 has twice the RAM and a significantly faster CPU.

The DNS-320/325 forum is one forum below - this is the DNS-323/321 forum.
This topic has been done to death. Suggest you perform a search. ''Transfer Speed'' gives nine pages of results.
If you dont have the time to read the answers, I can summarise:
- Many people want lightning speed.
- You are not going to get it
- You definitely aint gonna get it with wireless
Search is your friend.
