Recently just bought a Linkstation Quad Pro, having on 1 bay installed with drive. Running FW 1.64

Problem I'm facing is when my BT finshed downloading the files, I wanted to transfer the completed files from downloads folders to share folder, but th transfer speed is **bleep** extremely slow near to 1mb/sec. Wanted to ask is it common or anyway I can speed up the process?

Anyone can advise me?

Are you transfering over a wireless connection?! decribe your network topology.

I'm transferring using my laptop with wireless connection.

NAS is wired to router providing wireless to my laptop.

Situation 1

File A is in root/share/folder1

When I transfer A to root/share/folder2, the transfer is fast and almost immediate.

Situation 2

File A is in root/downloads/bittorrent

When I transfer A to root/share/folder, the transfer is extremely slow. reaching near to 1mb/s

The Linkstation is only having 1 bay with only 1 HDD.

Why is that so? Is it common?

Wireless G?

if you do it though your computer it doesnt recognise that the 2 mapped drives are the same physical drive. so in effect its copying the file from one network drive to your computer before copying it back to a different networked drive.

if you do it through the webaccess its almost instant. right click on the folder or files you want to move and select 'Move' then select your target directory.

this way it doesnt actually move any files it just updates the directory.

Thanks, I was also thinking if the files were being transferred wireless to my laptop then wirelessly to the folder again...

Tried using webaccess, it's really almost instant... Really thanks for the help.
