What nonsense. Are you on MediaDefender's viral P2P anti-piracy comment whoring patrol now or something?]]>Jun 23rd 2008 9:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/23/d-link-updates-dns-323-nas-unit-with-bittorrent-client/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/23/d-link-updates-dns-323-nas-unit-with-bittorrent-client/Jun 23rd 2008 9:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/23/d-link-updates-dns-323-nas-unit-with-bittorrent-client/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/23/d-link-updates-dns-323-nas-unit-with-bittorrent-client/
You mean a few weeks ago? I've been running this firmware for a while now. Even the press release you link to is quite old.]]>Jun 23rd 2008 7:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/23/d-link-updates-dns-323-nas-unit-with-bittorrent-client/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/23/d-link-updates-dns-323-nas-unit-with-bittorrent-client/Jun 23rd 2008 7:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/23/d-link-updates-dns-323-nas-unit-with-bittorrent-client/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/23/d-link-updates-dns-323-nas-unit-with-bittorrent-client/Jun 23rd 2008 8:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/23/d-link-updates-dns-323-nas-unit-with-bittorrent-client/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/23/d-link-updates-dns-323-nas-unit-with-bittorrent-client/Jun 23rd 2008 8:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/23/d-link-updates-dns-323-nas-unit-with-bittorrent-client/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/23/d-link-updates-dns-323-nas-unit-with-bittorrent-client/
Didn't you hear? You have to torrent the bread to this toaster before you can toast it.

There's a new bread tracker in the Ukraine. Very limited invite codes. PayPal me a dollar and I'll slip you one :)]]>Jun 23rd 2008 10:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/23/d-link-updates-dns-323-nas-unit-with-bittorrent-client/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/23/d-link-updates-dns-323-nas-unit-with-bittorrent-client/Jun 23rd 2008 8:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/23/d-link-updates-dns-323-nas-unit-with-bittorrent-client/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/23/d-link-updates-dns-323-nas-unit-with-bittorrent-client/Jun 23rd 2008 9:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/23/d-link-updates-dns-323-nas-unit-with-bittorrent-client/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/23/d-link-updates-dns-323-nas-unit-with-bittorrent-client/
Do some relatively minor hacks and you have a linux box on your hands, enough to run a basic web server, mail etc.

Nice little NAS, but there are some niggling little faults that could use patching through firmware updates.]]>Jun 23rd 2008 9:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/23/d-link-updates-dns-323-nas-unit-with-bittorrent-client/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/23/d-link-updates-dns-323-nas-unit-with-bittorrent-client/Jun 23rd 2008 10:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/23/d-link-updates-dns-323-nas-unit-with-bittorrent-client/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/23/d-link-updates-dns-323-nas-unit-with-bittorrent-client/Says the guy with a V for Vendetta avatar.]]>Jun 24th 2008 4:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/23/d-link-updates-dns-323-nas-unit-with-bittorrent-client/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/23/d-link-updates-dns-323-nas-unit-with-bittorrent-client/Jun 24th 2008 7:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/23/d-link-updates-dns-323-nas-unit-with-bittorrent-client/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/23/d-link-updates-dns-323-nas-unit-with-bittorrent-client/Although the writer might have a message, but he didn't design that logo, which is basically a variation on the anarchy logo anyway.
Mind you you could see it as a protest to use a no-doubt trademarked logo without permission I guess ;)

Hardware installation couldn't have been easier...seriously...swing off the front plate, slide the drive in, close the door. I had a harder time finding the 'on' switch which is in the front, not the back.

The CD utility 'Easy Start' is nice but I would have preferred to have seen it installed on the PC or completely web-based. No biggy...just copied the updated program file to my PC and created a shortcut. However, for most Newbies it's an inconvenience.

Flashed the firmware but the Bittorrent client is a real disappointment. No encryption so the download speed is dismal (haven't got anything better than 60 down and 15 upstream (I can often get sustained (400/90) with my regular server connection. Tweaking the router helped a bit.

Apparently an updated client can be added but I don't have the specifics yet.

Drive throughput is pretty good - easily saturates a 100mbps ethernet connection. I'll try it on my gigabit network and post the results here from some benchmarking tests (e.g. Sandra/HD Tach).

If anyone has something concrete on the torrent speed issue please post it here.]]>Aug 5th 2008 4:51PM
