Location

This appears in the Completed tab.

 

It displays the path for where the file is saved. Click on the location link to open the share

Seeds

Seeds apply to P2P downloads. This is the number of computers that are sharing the

 

complete file that you are downloading.

 

This value is in the format “Leeches(Seeds)” where Leeches refer to peers that do not

 

have a complete copy of the file yet and are still downloading; Seeds refer to peers that

 

have the complete file.

 

 

Peers

Peers apply to P2P downloads. This is the number of other computers that are also

 

downloading (and sharing) the file you are downloading.

 

This value is in the format “ConnectedPeers(AllPeers)[Health]” where Connected Peers is

 

the number of computers to which the NSA is connected in order to download the file;

 

AllPeers refer to the total number of computers to which the NSA can connect in order to

 

download the file; Health indicates the availability of the file.

 

 

Download

This is how fast the NSA is getting the file.

Speed

It is normal for a P2P download to start out with a slow download speed since it has to set

 

 

up numerous connections. The speed should increase as the download progresses and

 

decrease near the end of the download.

 

 

Upload Speed

This is how fast the NSA is sending the file to other P2P users.

 

 

Time Left

This is how much longer (in hours, minutes, and seconds) it should take to finish the

 

download at the current download speed.

 

 

Priority

This is the download’s priority on the NSA. You can set a currently downloading or queued

 

download to high or automatic priority. You can set a download to high priority to have the

 

NSA try to download it before the other files. However the actual download speed depends

 

more on factors like the speed of you Internet connection, the speed of the download

 

source’s Internet connection, how many others are trying to download at the same time,

 

the peers and seeds available and general network conditions.

 

 

Error Code
