Still having problems with torrent freezing after updating to latest firmware.

Bought this unit as my first NAS and I'm actually pretty disappointed that it's more than a year since it's been on the market yet there are still a host of firmware issues plaguing basic functionality.

OFF:
Totally agree. As a software developer, I just cannot understand why does it take so long to correct the most mandatory errors - at least. This is the first NAS of mine, and I am quite disappointed as well.

[KaZo]

I'm sorry but I'm not 100% sure what your wishlist suggestion is. . . can you please clarify?
Thanks! 

I will to change the "Owner" and "User Grouop" Properties of Folders in the web based file Browser.

hi there,

as described here (http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=53017.0), i am quite new and also suffering some dlna-probs.

my wishes for the next fw about dlna-conditions were:
- automatic refresh for added and relocated content - in best case just in time (already included in the list above)
- instead of just having a "refresh all" button, extending the UPnP-setup menue, to allow refreshing of dedicated folders/subfolders and probably also to force refresh of single files (imagine you just copied a new movie or sth to your NAS and you want to watch it just NOW)
- improving the performance in case of the refresh-all. 40 hours in my case for 3TB (also ending into a fail) doesnt appear satisfying to me.

It is possible to support backup from Canon EOS 450D (and other Digital Camera) attached to USB port?
...and SD reader?

Thanks.

PS: when for new firmware?

[ronnytaubert]

- flexible USB backup solution would be desirable. That would mean ... multiple directories and backup times can be created.

- USB memory is included in the backup with ... currently only internal hard drive can be selected.

- Resync for HiDrive by Strato

[astinformatics]

hi,
at first time excuse me for my bad english.
I have I suggestion : when we configure a remote backup, when this is done, we don't know where can look a register. now we are doing test for our clients, and we can view if the work fail or done correctly, but we can't view why fail. and other suggestion, the possiblity of send via mail, or SMS too, with the report or, if this is not possible, with the word fail or succesfully.
we are using the version 1.01 of firmware
best regards
