[Part 2] Download torrent & newsserver package(s)

[harmenzon]

Hi guys. I could use some help. I have installed everything. Working fine. But got some problems with the download speeds when using my external drive.
Downloading speeds to the sd card are about 1500 KB/s. That's fine. But when downloading to my external drive I only get 400 KB/s. I want to know what can cause this difference. It can not be the drive, cause connected to another raspberry pi, using a different setup, I can download with 2000 KB/s.
At first I thought it might have to be caused by linking the files. So I tried a different approach using:

Code:

mkdir -p /home/xbian/shares/
chmod -R 777 "shares"
sudo chown -R xbian:xbian "shares"
mount -t ext4 -o uid=xbian,gid=xbian /dev/sda1 /home/xbian/shares/
nano /etc/fstab
/dev/sda1       /home/pi/shares           ext4    defaults          0       2

But this did not make a difference. Any suggestions are welcome to get normal download speeds. Thanks!
