I have a torrent server that uses the cache drive to save my downloads to.  I have a downloads share and inside it there is an Incomplete and Completed directory.  The issue I'm having is that since all my downloads are on the cache drive, every time I go to move files from the cache drive to a particular share (say TV Shows) it is extremely slow AND it all but stops my downloads in their tracks.  My downloads will go from 4-5MB/s down to less than 10KB/s during a file move/copy.

 

I am constantly downloading and moving files to their respective shares so what is a better way for me to get this done?  I mean I'm often moving 30-100GB at a time and it can really cut my performance and time efficiency down to nil.

Personally I would create an unexported user share called complete that my files would go to when completed limited to a couple of drives. So the torrents are now spread across a couple of drives which would allow you to then move them without degrading the array performance significantly. Keep all the incomplete torrents on the cache drive.

What exactly do you mean by "unexported user share?"

Create a share, and in the settings for export, set it to "no".
