could be a number of things, you just have to start from basics, what speed are you getting at the moment?

how are you connecting NAS, cable to your router or to pc ? or wifi.  where are you transferring the files to, from NAS to PC 

if connected to your router by Ethernet cable, first put it direct to your pc by Ethernet cable and check you can get a good speed there first. Could be your router slowing the speed, check port speeds on router. ideally you need Gigabit ports for full speed

if by wifi what band you using 2.4 or 5 GHZ see if you can connect using the 5GHZ as its faster with new devices, also try a different channel. You can get a phone app to scan and see what devices are using what channel so you can use a channel that's free.

I had a sinology and if I remember right when I had one you have to change or check that your running file transfer in SMB3 protocol

a quick google on what I had originally came up with the issue and fix on my unit

He had a built in one so didn't use his mobile

Go onto google play, looks like they have some for EACHINE E511S on android, or worth trying some others

I don't have one but my son does, not sure what make it is though.

You need a licence to fly a drone that weighs over 250g its about £9. lots of models that are just under that weight.

There's a lot of cheap rubbish on the market but some good professional drones from people who no longer use them.

The on board cameras are good now days and you can connect to your mobile on some of them, 

Steam is exactly what it is Dave,

The steams comes from New York’s huge network of pipes which moves steam around the city. Con Edison operates the world’s biggest network of steam pipes that delivers,

just like electricity and gas, steam to buildings for a wide variety of purposes, including heating and cooling.

New Yorks’ steam system is so huge that if you took the next nine steam systems and added them together, NYC’s is still the largest.

The steam you see in the street is mainly caused in two occasions: when water falls onto the hot, underground steam-carrying pipes and heats up to become steam itself and

when maintenance operations are being carried out so workers place the white and orange chimneys in order to get the steam away from traffic.

Yes, of course sometimes steam can leak from the pipes, but that’s quite rare.

 

This unique steam system started back in the late 1800s with 350 customers but, by the 1930s, the company had 2,500 customers and was serving more than 100,000 buildings.

As of today, the networks runs 105 miles (169 km), connecting the power plants with the end user. A few of the most notable customers of Con Edison are the Empire State Building,

the United Nation’s headquarters and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. “If it wasn’t for the steam system, the postcard skyline that you see of Manhattan would be totally different. 

You’d be looking at every one of these high-rises with some type of chimney coming out of it”, Saumil Shukla, vice president of Con Edison told the New York Times.

Hi Gazza, Not sure why you could not access from Croatia..hopefully we can keep this website going for the next 6 months.

I would put it down to poor internet access, so ignore it

Hi

No problem its there if you need it, enjoy your holidays

cheers

Gaz

see my post here, could not access when in Croatia for some reason, seems a shame to loose years of content

posted this in the welcome to Jamers topic but may be you didn't see it
You would not need donations, as I can host for free, certificate is free by LetsEncript, and IPB licence you don't have to upgrade if you don't want to.
So no costs, still owned and managed by your self with hosting panel. Anyway the others there if you want it. If you don't then no problem.

Read about Jamerspad after grabbing my old emails when trying to loggin to old site. Wish I had seen it sooner.
In Croatia at moment but if you still want to continue the old forum as seams a shame to let it die after all these years. I have a dedicated server that you are more than welcome to have free hosting on. Can even install it all for you if you don't want the hassle of it all and then continue to manage it your self.

Let me know.

Well hello all, found my way back here ? nice to see some of the old faces still about. 

Happy new year to you all

Good to see your still rocking Gazza.

 

All1

Happy Christmas and a prosperous new year to you all.

its just a safe guard, just in case...........

its a bit like the old black and white licence that someone has commented about, I ran that for 10 years and never had a knock at the door

but there's always the chance they might.

i think i am right in saying they can detect if your using a receiver but they cannot detect if your watching it through the net

they don't have that access.

in my case i pay the licence as i have a massive motorised satellite dish that i go all over the world with, cable box and a wife who loves the soaps

so no chance in getting rid of the licence

just been catching up and must have missed this, I remember him well, how sad

R.I.P Milky

few things to note:
You don't need a licence for pc or tv as long as you don't watch live tv and only watch catchup

 
If the inspector comes into your home and you let them in and they see that the tv is plugged in with the aerial or a top box etc.,  you'd have a hard time convincing them you didn't use it to watch tv but if there's no aerial and no top box then  etc they have to prove you are using it for live tv,
As for the iplayer you don't need a license not yet anyway but they are trying to change the law. You do need a license to watch on iplayer IF its being broadcast on tv at the same time but not if you watch it afterwards.
 
here's an article with the bbc admitting you don't need a licence.
