DESCRIPTION

URL

Paste the URL or magnet link of the file you want to download into this field. The URL can

 

be for an HTTP, FTP, or P2P download. A magnet link is for a P2P download.

 

For a P2P download using a magnet link the NSA automatically downloads the file related

 

to the magnet link.

 

For a P2P download using a .torrent file, you can copy and paste the URL of the .torrent

 

file. The NSA will automatically download the .torrent file and use it. You do not have to

 

manually download the .torrent file or save it to your computer.

 

Note: Make sure the link opens either the file you want or a pop-up window about how to

 

handle the file.

 

It is also OK for the link to open a .torrent file. If you are redirected to a screen that says

 

the download should start in a few seconds, there may be a link to click if the download

 

does not start automatically. See if that link opens the file or the pop-up window.

 

 

Torrent File

A “torrent” file has information the NSA uses to do a P2P download. A torrent file uses a

 

.torrent extension. If you already have a torrent file saved on your computer, select the

 

Torrent File option and specify its path or click Browse and look for its location.
