Slow/non-existant transfer speeds over internet

I have set up my “my cloud” for access over the interweb, but when accessing it in this way I get a transfer speed of 0 bytes/s, which will occassionaly peek at 1 or 2 Mbytes/s for a second or two but then goes back to sitting a 0 bytes/s.  Speed is also slow when browsing files within Windows explorer.

Any possible ways to get it stable at anything above 0 bytes/s would be great.

I havn’t updated yet, but will do when I get home from work.  How would you recomend doing a benchmark test with this?

I want to add this as it gives everyone another way to upload files and see the speed and time it takes. See images below.
