Same here, download the 2.02b1 re-release from local site, the firmware date is 23/9/11 (previous one is 1/9/11).

No changes as far as I can tell, it still refuse to let one downgrade to older firmware version.

I'm erring on the side of caution for the sake of the user community as a whole until the firmware version is confirmed (or refuted) by D-Link U.S.A.  

They have yet to confirm why they removed 2.02b in the first place, and what are the changes in the new release, which in effect is not so new since it's almost 2 months old...

Kind of hard to believe that after all this time, they've not only managed to upload a corrupt file, but when I finally managed to obtain a working version, it turns out to still have the most major bug of them all (not being able to downgrade)

/edited to avoid causing confusion... Sorry JL!

After flashing 2.02b i had a some problem with share folder...
And no way to downgrade to 2.0.
Its better to wait 2.02....

After 2.02... can i downgrade to 2.00 its intersting..
Ore may be i`ll be on 2.02b forever now?


There is ROM with factory firmware in it?
May be its possible to flash the firmware from ROM? How?

Hopefully 2.03 (ETA Q1 2012) will go through a more thorough QA process!

Although I realize the point you are trying to make here (and that your stated FW version/release are fictitious), I must state the following to avoid potential confusion among the user community: D-Link did not publish a next firmware release/beta version number nor has D-Link published an estimated release date. Generally speaking D-Link does not openly publish advanced notice of firmware releases.

The firmware archive on the D-Link U.S. FTP site was replaced and is now working: ftp.dlink.com/Multimedia/dns320/Beta/Firmware/

But after flashing it....
Downgrade to 2.0 still not possible.

Yes, it confirmed, kind of stupid IMO.

This issue is on the firmware wishlist.

This issue is on the firmware wishlist. 

There's also a lot of other items on there too, so while I'm happy that it's getting looked at, it's still not exactly comforting... I think pretty much everybody here wants to know if it'll definitely be part of the next beta, as it should be among the top priority items on the wishlist!

I don't mean to sound negative - apart from not being able to downgrade, my experience with 2.02b1 so far has been great!!!

Is this "new" version a real update?

I have not seen any posts that say any problems have been fixed or any features included?

I don't want to jump to quickly like I did last time as mine seems to be working fine with the previous beta firmware

I posted a sticky thread in the beta forum listing the cumulative release notes for each firmware version through 2.02b01 here: DNS-320 - Cumulative Firmware Release Notes

Updating to this version 2.02 has worked.. no real performance improvements (for a NON apple Guy).... It has however f***ed up my home network in such a way that i would like
to go back to previous version 2.0. What you considdered a bug (anonymous guest access on the disks using CIFS) was my best feature.

e.g.

I have a Zyzel DMA-2500 streamer. Using version 2.0 on the D-link allowed the DMA-2500 to treat the volumes as harddisks. Browsing to a DVD directory
would start the DVD (have a terra of frequently used dvd'S). After the update it cannot browse the volumes anymore (i have no users installed on the DNS-320 since it is a private network that only I can access).

At that time i could click the ifo file and the movie would start. After the " Bugfix" my Zyzel cannot access the volumes anymore. Only way is to run the DLNA service that is realy s***ty on this device. IFO files cannot be started in DLNA it will not work from the Zyxel. I can start the first VOB file of the DVD. But since that has no menu's i cannot select a sub. Also SRT files are not supported from the DLNA service. That would give me no problem using CIFS for accessing the Volumes and directories on that.

I would like to go back to version 2.0 since that worked perfectly in my setup... but like NITRO785 said .. after flashing it....
Downgrade to 2.0 still not possible.

So anyone who can help me downgrading... this update for me has turned into a real nightmare !!! BIG TIME ..

Or maybe you guys could make it a feature... selectable wether i want to allow anonymous acces using CIFS ..

Thanks in advance for any help you could give me..

BTW: I created users and rights on the volumes for non-anonymous access using CIFS but when i put the credentials in the Zyxel it would give me error 407 (service not found). I detects the DNS.. but it seems to miss a service.
