Recordemos que en Septiembre ya se lanzó la beta de DSM 5.1 (build 4977) pero parece estaba casi lista y ya tenemos la versión estable antes de lo esperado y disponible para todos los modelos de NAS Synology, pero posiblemente estos primeros días vaya muy lenta la descarga o incluso tengas cortes a medio proceso, tened paciencia o agregar a un gestor de descargas el vínculo directo:

http://ukdl.synology.com/download/DSM/5.1/5004/

Algún usuario ha reportado únicamente problemas  al intentar acceder vía WinSCP, si te ocurriese lo mismo configura la shell del programa en /bin/sh, eso debería solucionarlo, por ahora parece que las instalaciones en diferentes modelos no han dado molestias ni se han percibido inconvenientes de otro tipo, recuerda que también estarán disponibles las diferentes versiones de app's de Synology compatibles con DSM 5.1 que también estaban disponibles en versiones beta, de ellas descataría por fin la capacidad de descarga desde Mega a través de Download Station, por fin.
