Slow LAN speed and computer locking up

[Adz06]

Hi

I've recentely bought a Qnap TS-109 NAS Sever.

I am trying to copy all my bideo and music files over to it, however, as
soon as I sart a transfer (either throught windows explorer or FTP) my
computer slows to a crawl. Basically videos and music become juddery, my
mouse and keyboard become very slow etc.

Also I only seem to get about 3.5 MBPS when transfering files. Im on a
100mbps lan, my maths says that says thats a maximum of 12.5 MBPS, I know
there are overheads but it should still be faster? Infact streming videos
from the NAS server to my computer is worse that streaming them via my 54mbps
wireless connection to my PS3.

Is there something wrong with my setup? I am using two devolo highspeed home
plugs between my pc and router, although my pc still says its connected at
100mbps and the homeplugs say they are linked at 100mbps.

THanks in advance for any help!
