Ran up a new 8.3 Beta2 build tonite of FreeNAS and still seems to be plagued with issues for the Transmission Plugin/client.
Here is the testing configuration.
Connection 250Mbit Download 15Mbit Upload
Firewall: PFsense 2.1 - UPNP / NAT enabled. NO STATIC ROUTES OR PORT FORWARDS to conflict with the automatic mapping - NIC Intel Gigabit CTx2
Torrent server 1: Windows 7 (Port shows open in torrent app) - Client Utorrent 3.3 - NIC Intel Gigabit CT
Torrent server 2: FreeNAS 8.3 (Port shows open in managment interface) - Client Transmission 2.51 (outdated but all we got atm) - NIC Intel Gigabit CT
Below is a screenshot of the performance of both configurations http://img267.imageshack.us/img267/4558/transbad.jpg
The screenshot is an overlay of the Utorrent client over the background Transmission web GUI. Both are serving the exact same (42) torrents. As you can see the Utorrent using the same automatic port forwarding has almost 10 peers (even though it wasnt even fully updated), yet the Transmission/FreeNAS server was only connected to 4 peers, and uploading only 5K at that. These results have been consistent with all of the builds of FreeNAS i have tried now since 8.2, and its quite frustrating. Really don't know what to do aside from post here about it and hope someone has some input, i know that the Transmission client plugin itself for FreeNAS is now outdated and needs revision, but this seems outside the scope of most users since it hasn't been done for over 4 months.
Does anyone see similar results when running the transmission plugin, IE, peers not connecting, terribly slow uploads when they do?
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
