Hi,

here are my experiences after about a month:

- the web management UI is VERY slow (even at 0% CPU load)
- P2P freezes almost every day, the newly added torrents don't start automatically even if this option is checked, needs reboot more often
- P2P: cannot display more than 10 elements on the screen (the combobox shows only "10")
- P2P: it would be very useful if the download location could be specified (not only the volume but the folder as well). I know this may not be possible to implement as fully separated share is used. For Windows users this is not too convenient as they require two separate drive letters to access both the P2P part and the rest. It would be great if the downloaded content could be everywhere, so it could be used and seeded at the same time without messing up the structure of the hard drive.
- Install: if the drive is preformatted with ext4, the installation even forces to format the drive at first use. This causes the use of a previously used drive much annoyance as not everyone has another 1-2 TB space to save the content, format the drive and copy everything back.
- Sometimes the connection gets dropped, which is very annoying during copying a very large file (must start copying again)
- The CPU utilization can be 100% for no particular reason (P2P process runs, but it is currently out of schedule)
- The utilization line on the graph is hard to see (yellow line on white background)
- The beta firmware (1.00b8) cannot be installed. BTW, the changes should be enclosed in the file, but only the 1.00 release notes are present
- The full bandwidth is not used at P2P. I have 80/25 Mbit connection, but the download speed does not reach the 7 MByte/sec speed. When I'm downloading the same torrent with my computer to the local hard drive, it does. This issue can be because of the processor speed of the NAS, I know, but I wanted to include it in this list.

+1: I could not register to THIS forum as the confirmation email didn't arrive. I tried it almost for a month, tried again today and I received the mail finally. No contact person in this case on the forum. (Writing an admin requires a live registration...)

If you require more testing or information, please let me know.

Thanks, best regards,
Dester

Correct, the forum email has been down for 30+ days. We posted threads on boards across the forum to let everyone know.  The issue was resolved a week ago. * Forum Email Registration Issue *

I can't add this without validation that the problem is inherent to the DNS-320L rather than an external networking/LAN issue.

- The beta firmware (1.00b8) cannot be installed. BTW, the changes should be enclosed in the file, but only the 1.00 release notes are present

I believe 1.00b8 precedes 1.00, which would make this an earlier firmware version.

Thank you for processing my long post. Just some small clarification: the download speed does NOT reach the possible maximum of 7 MB/sec. I didn't see larger values than approx. 4-5 MB/sec, and even these values are very rare as well.

The freezing P2P client is included twice on the buglist. I think both issues might be both basically the same.

Some details about losing the connection: when the connection is dropped, the whole content disappears, the drives behind the drive letters become instantly inaccessible. The rest of the network communication on the same computer works further, so neither the router, nor the computer drops the connection, other computers and shares are still accessible, only the NAS (and all of its shares) "disappears".

According to the firmware, you are right, I was wrong.

Hi all!

I have been using the DNS-320L for a month now and wanted to share some thoughts:

- Power On/Off Scheduling: The device shuts down at the time specified, even if it is still streaming music or else. Would be a great improvement if this function would wait for the device to switch to idle mode before shutting it down.

- Fan noise: Well, this might be a subjective experience, but my fan is quite noisy. The firmware only offers Off/Low/High. Wouldnīt it be possible to have the fan spin at lowest speed all the time? Even at "low" setting it can be heard while listening to music.

- Album Art (started a separate post on this: http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=51142.0)

Thatīs it for the moment. Will see what the next weeks will show.

Hi All,

Wishlist
More web services. - Ability to backup to the following;

• Ftp server
  Amazon Glacier
  Google Drive
  MS Sky Drive

Ability to use the USB socket as a host port would be amazing.

+1 on the DNLA support for MKV but ad UPNP too.
+1 on the speeding up of the sluggish UI.

Thanks

Added. . . But I presume this option would present a danger since the DNS-320L would lack the capacity to respond to overheating if the fan were fixed on a low setting.

- Album Art (started a separate post on this: http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=51142.0)

Will have to wait for others to weigh in on this issue (i.e. is this the same as the DNS-320?)
