Slight DLNA problem

Hi guys,

I just received the router a few days ago and it's a really huge upgrade for me. I intended to buy it just for improved range and bandwidth but have discovered many features that I simply can't live without anymore. Two such features are DLNA support for connected hard drives and download manager. Both seem to work perfectly alone but I run into issues when trying to use them together. Every time I download something to the hard-drive using the download manager, DLNA breaks and restarting the router/hard drive (occasionally) fixes it. If it was just a matter or rebooting the router, it wouldn't be such an issue. The problem is that I have a 2 TB hdd and it takes a really long time to index the files again for the DLNA functionality to return.

I was really hoping to not have to flash any non-asus firmware. That being said, if you guys can confirm that custom firmware can allow me to download things to the hard-drive (via router directly) while keeping DLNA fully functional, I would have no choice but to jump ship.

Thanks
