NAS problem speed
Hello guys,
Just installed a new Mint ( virtual ) and I am experiencing INCREDIBLY
!!! slow downloads

My old setup had mounted samba folders to it which works fine and superfast.
But for safety reasons I don't want that anymore and go to the WEB
interface and select up/downloads.

its about 1 bit per day now...

Any experts who know what is wrong?

The moment any organization established from pure noble intentions get
some influence, it will be corrupted from both inside and outside.
Then we have organizations established from pure evil.

An expert would ask for more information.

I have a suspicion, you will need to provide more information
about what you are doing. Maybe you have added something to
your left-most machine to "serve files over WWW" ?
Your left-most machine won't have the same stack as mine.

Or maybe you are using SMB4K on the right ?
There has to be a bit more color commentary on your
part, to better frame what is going on.

Well the Server QNAP has a Web-interface
So logon to the QNAP and select file/folders to download.

Took forever, I have to come back to this item because I start all over
again due to some errors and I want a new perfect squeaky clean install.

More information is necessary to help troubleshoot... off the cuff,
these questions come to mind:

Was the old setup also virtual? Is it / was it using the same host
machine?

Assuming "yes VM, same physical host" -- Do both virtual machines have
the same type of virtual NIC (either whatever the default vDevice is, or
e1000, etc), and is it linking at the same speed (e.g. gbit).

Assuming "yes VM, different physical host" -- In addition to the above,
do both physical machines have the same physical connection to your LAN
(e.g. gbit ethernet or 802.11ax).

Assuming "baremetal vs VM" -- does the baremetal machine experience the
same extreme slowness from the NAS webinterface? In the event you have
two bare-metal installs (old LM install + new machine hosting Mint VM),
do either (or both) of these machines experience the same slow behavior
as the VM?

Utilizing a speed-test (from internet, or iperf3, etc.); does the new VM
get the same results (or "close enough", accounting for it being a VM /
chosen target / internet in general) as its host machine?

I come back to this, I am gonna do a new install.
BTW old comp was/is normal, the new one virtual but the internet-speed
was OK.

OK, so if I'm understanding this:

Old install was bare-metal (different machine)
New install is a VM, network speeds are good EXCEPT for qnap-www
transfer


Given this, I would lean toward the qnap box being the problem here. How
old is it? Does it get updates at all (or reboots in general)?

Might also want to check if it supports NFS or SSHFS.
