Hardware NAS doing an update, it's UPloading data, why?

I have an old-ish Qnap NAS which I haven't used for a while. I plugged it in today to get something off it and it politely asked for an update which, once I had done what I wanted to, I let it continue. It seemed to be progressing quite slowly, I thought it was maybe deliberate in order to not gobble up all the available bandwidth but I had a curious look at my router's 'status' page and was surprised to see it is UPloading flat out (yes, 2Mb/s is flat out at this time of the evening!) and only downloading at a fairly leisurely 250kbps. Now I understand the server may need some data from me but this is now 30% (20 minutes) into the process. I don't have any cloud service attached to it (as far as I am aware) so why the huge upload?
