I am currently using a Windows machine on a PureVPN which I move files manually to a NAS. I set up a Deluge container on my NAS using a PIA OpenVPN config file. The plan was to install all the arrs, but I wanted to test the new VPN provider and Deluge as I will route all my arts traffic through this pivot service and wanted to ensure it's performant So ,I downloaded a torrent of Ubuntu to test the speeds. Normally I'm used to anywhere from 3-20mbps download speeds, but I hear people almost getting a full gbps speeds with Deluge and PIA. I'm on a 2gbps fiber connection with a 10GbE network and device and while on the PIA VPN I can only get 50mbps running a speedtest and the torrent itself maxes out 17kbps. That's way off what I was expecting, and while everything works, there must be a way to tune this. At this rate, Ubuntu would take 17 days to download. So, I took my PureVPN Wireguard config that is working with qbittorrent and added it to the Deluge config and switched it to use the Wireguard config file to compare. I can't connect to it so something is wrong. Looking at the logs there are no errors or anything that looks erroneous. So in the end, I can't compare it to qbittorrent and will need to add VPN's to each service instead of routing it all through Deluge. I can't find any tuning guides or guidance online so I thought I'd check here to see what else might work better than this setup or manually downloading and then manually renaming before manually moving to the array.

I'm a bit confused about the last step., when you write "change permissions & run"; change what permissions and run what? I see there is some obscure funmagician command, but Magician is client software and needs a drive letter. Does this only work if you're not actually running a server? I've completed the rest of the steps, but not sure how to actually ensure the drive boots from the extracted ISO files.

Thanks for the input. I have sent you the diagnostics privately.

I have set up a new NAS and have started to transfer ~32TB to my new Unraid server using Krusader. Source system is a Synology NAS. Since there is a lot of data, I've been transferring my films in batches by transferring every film that starts with an 'a', then 'b', and so on. I have not set any parity and have cache set to 'none' (all the articles I could find that were relevant seem, to be transferring/moving data within Unraaid and/or using cache). For some reason, as soon as I got to 'e', the films don't show up any longer in the share or in the disk I'm filling up, but I can see that there is more data in the target share, which looks equivalent to the amount of data I would expect transferred. I've used Dynamix File Manager, Finder, and Explorer and the files are lost/not visible. Before I delete everything and revert to using Explorer or Finder, does anyone have any idea why this might be happening? Sorry if this is better suited to an Krusader forum but I thought someone might have experienced the same since it seems like it would be a pretty common scenario.

Not the answer that I was hoping for, but clear. Thanks for the quick response.

I have a cache I want to exclusively use to run a Win10 VM and also for Qbittorrent downloads so I can maximize download speeds and VM performance. I want move to regular move completed files to a 12TB UD formatted in NTFS to make sure the file is the right type of file, right quality, has the correct naming convention, etc. before I move it to the array and let Plex see it. I have shared the UD in settings, but when creating a share with the cache as primary, I cannot select the UD as secondary storage. Is this not a supported configuration or am I doing it wrong?

This looks like it has exactly what I need now that I've had a cursory glance. Couldn't find this Googling. Thanks so much!

This is the issue I'm trying to solve. I installed it on the array accidentally when setting it up. so when I changed the app data folder to exist on the cache, it's still running on disk too. I'll check the documentation suggested and see if that sorts it. I don't have a domain yet for Unraid so I'm not sure what this is.

I'll definitely check this out today. Thanks

I tried this based on what I read in other posts and this made no sense to me. How can a cache be 4TB, but have 21TB free? That seems like a bug and I can’t trust the information in the Shares tab. My 2.5” SSD shows 6b used, so I assume that VM will to have to be deleted and recreated. Bit of a PITA, but my fault. Mover never comes into play because it will only move from primary to secondary storage, and in my config, I don’t want any secondary storage. Can’t find any way of using mover for anything else so it’s pretty useless to me. Already did this multiple times. I was actually so obsessed with this I forgot my media was copying and stopped it. Now it’s taking me over an hour to delete what transferred in order to start again. I’d be happy to do this with Explorer if I knew what to move. I did install File Manager but I can’t find a compatible GUI for it so it’s installed but I can’t access it.

I've searched Reddit and this forum and not found the exact answers for my scenario or I didn't understand it. I built my first Unraid server on Friday and I had 1) 2 x 4TB NVMe drives and 2) 1 x 2TB 2.5" SSD. I created 2 caches, NVMe in raid 1 and 2.5"SSD as standard. I build a Windows 10 VM and started adding containers but I accidentally did it on the array (still migrating ~50TB so no parity yet). Now I want to move the containers to the NVMe cache and the Win10 VM to the 2.5" SSD cache. I changed the app data share to only use cache. I can't tell if they're still running on the array, but it doesn't feel like it as performance seems the same. I was expecting it to be pretty snappy so I think I've not done it right. How exactly can I tell where my VM and the containers are running?
