Well, strange things sometimes happen. I had to forward only the TCP ports range in the router.
When forwarde TCP+UDP or only UDP, then the speeds were very low, rather 0,0 kB/s.
Now I run fast with lots of seeds.

Im using ASUS RX3041 router and Download Redirector with DS-106j. I ve read through all the forum and tried almost all the settings in the router but no avail.
The download speed is still like 0.00kB/s. Please help.

Please refer to the FAQ about network ports and port fowarding
What Network Ports Synology Products Use?
What is port forwarding?

Hi Franklin,

I'm a bit confused. The FAQ say's that you have to use ports 6890 ~ 6999 for the Download Station (TCP/UDP)
(The FAQ doesn't mention BitTorrent, only Download Station)
So which ports do we have to use?

Greetings Martin.

Martin-

Sorry for the confusion, it should say BitTorrent Range. The FAQ will be updated to reflect that.

I think the confusion is the default range in the diskstation interface is 6881-6890 but in the FAQ it says 6890-6899. Which is the correct range to use?

by **JosefSyn** » Sat Dec 09, 2006 8:27 am

I think that the 6881-6890 range is correct. Download Station can handle up to 10 simultaneous downloads. So one port to one download.

Thanks, i just forwarded 6881-6890 on the router to the diskstation and my BT speeds have gone up at least x5

How come I have tried forward the port but still slow speed?

Why cant it behave like Bitcomet where I dont have to set so many stuff?

Please be advised of the following..

Hi guys, newbie here and I thought I'd throw my two-cents in as well:

I have tried forwarding both port ranges (individually and combined) and have tried TCP/UDP/BOTH as well, but my speeds are still below 10KB/s for torrents. Standard ftp/http downloads are fine, and the torrent d/l rates seem capped regardless of whether I have 5 seeds or 55 (trust me, I've had both and plenty inbetween).

Any ideas other than the ones I've tried? If it matters, I'm using a Linksys WRT54GS.

When I checked my incoming log I found a LOT of IP addresses looking for port 50052, which is the old Azureus port number I used for my PC before I uninstalled it to use DR instead.

Is it possible that torrents are trying to come to the wrong port because of something underlying in XP? I know that's probably just bullplop, but I don't know enough about how torrents work. Is it possible the torrent site I used knows that I have torrents sent to 50052? Some IPs are coming to 6890, but I have 140 seeds in the torrents I am currently d/ling and there are a lot of IPs looking for 50052.

From the information you've stated, I would try to forward port 50052 to the Synology server's 6xxx port to see if that results in a performance boost.

I think "their" clients are locally saving information about other clients IP/ports for faster reconnect if they lose network connection - and possibly to be able to bypass tracker ratio checks...

It's still not possible to seed a torrent after the download finishes. So sooner or later the 'torrent-provider' will cut down the speed for you to download because you never share at least 1:1. This issue is mentioned several times on this forum. The firmware that solves this issue will be very welcome!

I just wanted to first say thanks for everyone who made the suggestions for port forwarding, they helped me greatly for speed performance on both torrents and http downloads.

I have a totally different question, has anyone ever tried installing a PHP and MYSQL based torrent program to run on the Synology Station?

I have found these three have have yet to try out:
http:// sourceforge. net /projects/torrentflux/
http:// sourceforge. net/projects/torrentvolve/
http:// sourceforge. net/projects/torrenttracker/

I don't know first hand if any of these programs can allow you to seed, but this has gotten me curious on performance/customization.

Hi all,
I just bought a 107e and was trying to get the Download station to work. I have set up the port forwarding on my SMC7908VoWBRB to the default port range but can't get anything but 0,00 KB/s.
Did many experiments after that with other ports number with the same result.
I get speed up to 100kB/s with Azureus.

I'll be very glad if anyone can help me with it.

Thank you
