TomatoUSB

So I got me a 32gb sandisk usb so I can start using my router for bittorent. I got it all set up, linksys e3200 router, running v1.28. Only problem is the performance, it constantly spikes between 0 and maybe up to 1mB/s, making downloads very slow.

The USB drive is formatted as vfat according to the router gui, and as far as extra options enabled on the router, I'm using IPtables, file sharing, and ftp, so I suppose that could be bogging it down some.

Is there anything I could do to get better speed, or am I just limited by my router at this point? My connection is 50mbps and the torrents I have access have basically uncappable download speeds, so right now this is the bottleneck.

Forgot to add, this is on Shibby build, and I'm using the native Transmission client built in.

vfat is slower imho try to format as ext3. I am getting faster speeds than that on my asus rtn16. however, I found the router load times were still huge. So now i have a cifs client hooked up to a NAS and then run shibby's build to download via samba. Seems to work much better. We need to remember that these are routers, not pc's. They are not meant to be running a lot options.
